Nightmare Fuel / Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Just another normal night on the C1 Loop.

Nightmare Fuel? In my street racing game?

It's more likely than you think.

The Tokyo Xtreme Racer franchise isn't horror at its' core. And yet, it still contains enough elements to keep you up at night.

---

• UNKNOWN's appearances, every single one of them. Having gone through every single driver in the Expressway, you'd think that you made it to the top of the mountain. You'd be wrong. With no warning, an Fairlady Z S30 will materialize out of thin air behind you.
  • His bio, when accessible, doesn't make it any less creepier.
    Said to be the ghost of a legendary driver who died ten years ago. No one has faced him and lived to tell the tale.
• Even if UNKNOWN doesn't appear in 3, that game's final boss is just as eerie, if not even moreso. The Final Boss is the player themselves. Or rather. a ghostly copy of the player.
  • Its' bio is inaccessible, but present deep inside the game's coding. After reading it, you will be left with even more questions. Was that a ghost? Am I a ghost?
• Upon defeating Death Driver in 3, you're given the option of buying his unique Nissan Silvia S15. Do so, and take it out for a spin... and you'll be met by ghostly white vans, filled with ghosts. And if you coast close to one of the vans, they will turn and stare towards the camera.
• Challenging Bloodhound to a battle in the rain is already a bad idea to begin with. But then, upon flashing your headlights to start the battle, the screen will flash white and the water will turn a bloody red.
  • What makes it worse? This is a real-life phenomenon. Although there have been no documented cases in Japan, it can happen, and scientists still have no real answer as to how this happens.
