# List of Choro Q video games

This is a list of video games based on the Choro Q (also known as Penny Racers in English-speaking markets) line of toy cars produced by Japanese toy company Takara (later Takara Tomy). Some of these games have been localised for Western release under many different names, including Gadget Racers, Penny Racers and Road Trip.
Most of these are auto racing games with extensive opportunities for customization, often including role-playing video game-style elements such as towns and side-quests. Most of these games were developed by external companies like Tamsoft and Barnhouse Effect, although they are usually credited to Takara since the developers' name rarely appears outside of the ending credits. Only two games in the series were released outside Japan prior to 2001 - 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, afterwards 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!.
