List of Choro Q video games

The Choro Q video games are a series of video games based on Takara's "Choro Q" toy cars (also known as "Penny Racers" in English-speaking markets). The games have been localised for Western release under many different names, including Gadget Racers, Penny Racers and Road Trip.
Most of these games were developed by external companies, although they are usually credited to Takara since the developers' name rarely appears outside of the ending credits. Some of these developers include Tamsoft ("Choro Q", "Choro Q 2" and "Choro Q 3"), Barnhouse Effect ("Shin Combat Choro Q", "Choro Q HG" and "Choro Q HG 4"), E-game ("Choro Q Wonderful!", "Choro Q HG 2" and "Choro Q HG 3"), Electronics Application (aka Eleca) ("Choro Q Advance", "Choro Q Advance 2", "Choro Q: Hyper Customable GB" and "Perfect Choro Q"). Most are auto racing games with extensive opportunities for customization, often including role-playing video game-style elements such as towns and side-quests.
Overseas releases.
Only three games in the series were released outside Japan prior to 2001 (including the 1984 MSX game by Taito Corporation, which is unrelated to the later Choro Q titles) - "Choro Q" for the PlayStation (released in Europe only as "Penny Racers") and "Choro Q 64" for the Nintendo 64 (released in North America and Europe as "Penny Racers"). However, since 2001 many of the titles have been released in the US and PAL regions as budget titles, by publishers including Conspiracy Entertainment, Midas Interactive Entertainment and Play It!.
