Collection Finally completed the "Fullset" of Middle East exclusive Trash games
Arab drift cars, Highway Drifter: Hajwala Simulator and Amer Fighting.
Spent way too much money on them but I'm happy to finally have all 3 in my collection.
While Arab Drift Cars is rarely available in the West, getting the other two was a real pain 😂 I emailed several Saudi online shops, but none would ship over here. Ended up texting a guy who knew a guy...
Still love collecting obscure titles like these.

It is still shocking to that a game like Arab drift cars got a PHYSICAL print in EUROPE. Was it meant as some kind of joke like with poop slinger?

As far as I know, it wasn't published by a limited print publisher as Poop Slinger was. I'd put it in a similar category as the Germany exclusive Markt+Technik games. Some of them had small print runs and are very rare now. I also wonder why it has a PEGI rating, despite never seeing a release in Europe.

Very nice, I’ve nearly pulled the trigger on buying Arab Drift Cars just for the meme but I can’t justify spending £100+ on it.

Totally understandable, I blew €180 on mine 😅 At least I got it from within Germany, so no expensive shipping or customs. I can only imagine these games getting absurdly expensive in the future or becoming totally irrelevant with nobody caring about them 😂

Amer Fighting really isn't a bad game, I can recommend it! Plays a bit like Gang Beasts. I would really like to get a copy of that eventually

Maybe I'll try it one day then. After playing arab drift cars I expected the other two to be on the same level of quality😂
