'''''Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing''''' is a [[Software:Racing video game|racing]] computer video game for the [[Software:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[Software:Mac OS|Mac OS]] operating systems, released in 1995 by French publisher [[Company:Mindscape|Mindscape]] and developed by its subsidiary, Mindscape Bordeaux.<ref name="cgw135" />

==Gameplay==
The game allows a selection of 10 open wheel cars and 15 tracks. There are three racing options that the player can choose; circuit (with the tracks going in numerical order being chosen automatically by the computer), time limit trial (where the player has to race in a time limit, but go through checkpoints in order to get extended time. However, unlike the circuit race, the player can choose their own track), and a simple practice course where the player and their car race solo.
