Charming.

Now, it's best we leave this to the adults.
NFS2:HP vs. Gran Turismo 2

>>1790582
>NFS2:HP

It's either NFS2 or NFS3:HP.

I bought the Japanese version of Daytona USA Circuit Edition because apparently it's different from the US version.

I cite lie on that shit.

>>1790616
Not everything Segagaga Domain says is valid. I envy the man's collection, but his observations are all over the place.

Been playing this furiously for the last 2 days. Again. Who'd a thunk it a driving game from the 286 era would still be gold these days. Fuck dat Mulholland Race tho.

>>1790729
This was just something I heard from someone else.

The game plays the same as CCE. I think it just has the original music in it (and not the superior Saturn mixes either).

>>1790616
>I bought the Japanese version of Daytona USA Circuit Edition because apparently it's different from the US version.
It's got the Daytona USA arcade music and I think the draw distance is just that little bit better. Oh yeah, and it has night/day options.

>>1790447
'80s motorbike chassis all look the same after a while.

One game that the UK magazines were enthused about back in 1985 was Konami's Le Mans 24 Hours; they wanted to call it a competitor with OutRun from around the same time. No one ever talks about it.

>>1790950
That game was fun.

This thread reminded me of my love for Tokyo Extreme Racer on dreamcast back in the day.

I need t buy that game again.
I tried burning a disc of it, but the only one available is some self-boot garbage that won't let me save/load by echelon.

>>1790739

>>1790739
>Fuck dat Mulholland Race tho.
To this day, I still don't understand how to win this race.

>>1790230

>>1792140
I found a copy of TXR2 for a friend by searching high and low on the Internet.

Felt good.

I can't be the only one who loved this game.
The car upgrades were fun, the racing was fast and close, the bonuses like camera busting was a ball and the soundtrack was surprisingly great too:

Why are you trying to make sad Outrun

>>1792202
I think I only had a demo for it.
Didn't this one have online play?

>>1792190
:3

>>1790876
Yes. Dreamcast ReVolt master race.

Can't explain it, but Network Q RAC Rally Championship was always a "comfy" game for me.

I wish Rush was still a thing.

Back before Burnout Paradise Rush 2 was the best racing game I had ever played.

ultimate race pro was an awesome game from the late 90s. who else on /vr/ loves this?

psygnosis' destruction derby is the best racing game ever.

Nothing beats seeing the sunset in Enduro and then dreading the approaching morning fog.

3D graphics were necessary to give racing game design legitimacy.

PROVE ME WRONG.

>>1792563
top view racing game.

NFS was a great series in the 5th gen. Nowadays, the name just gets slapped on anything EA can churn out.

>>1792563
Rad Racer

>>1790582
those games aren't exactly comparable

>>1790950
one of my favorite soundtracks ever
still have the psx disc lying around but its unplayable i think

>>1792631
Actually they aren't producing an NFS game this year.

...

On the 20th anniversary of the series, for some reason...

Top Gear anyone? music was excellent. pretty easy game- but shit was it fun

>>1792631
3 was the absolute peak of the series to me. I loved that game dearly.

Got this bad boy the other day.

I'm terrible at it.

Not my picture either.

>>1792309
they don't make rally games like they used to

(RIP Magnetic Fields)

go ahead, try driving off the course in RBR, see how far you can go without hitting those invisible walls

WHAT NON GRAN TURISMO RETRO RACING GAME LETS ME DRIVE/TUNE AN MR2???

>>1792214
Indeed, but the PC version has the most options for online and modding, plus performance settings. This game's surprisingly challenging, most of all...playing with simulator physics and no items/weapons is a good mix of driving difficulty and non-randomness.

>>1792978
Probably Initial D, I dunno. I only care about gameplay, not brands.

>>1792978
HELLO HELLO ANON TOYKO XTREME RACER 2!!!1
aka Tokyo Highway Battle 2 aka Shutokou Battle 2
Dreamcast port recommended

>>1792745
I played the first one with my cousin until our thumbs fell off. My declared goal is it to own every Top Gear game there is.

Also got the soundtrack on my phone all the time, just so good.

>>1793524
wtf man... I played this with my cousins too. do yourself a favor and youtube people playing these songs on guitar. blows my mind err time

>>1792763
Neat! I want to play berzerk on a vectrex so bad.

>>1792148
There *was* a Street Rod 3. But it was crap and unfinished.
The race is a damn pain. I've done my best by using tricked out cheap cars so you can challenge crappier competitors but the worse your car is, the slower it turns so it isn't that much of an advantage. The '63 Vette (IIRC) was good for this bc it handles pretty good.

I just tried Virtua Racing on the Genesis the other day, and it was kinda fun. Wish it had more courses though. I didn't know the Genesis had any SuperFX-like 3D games.

>>1795017
That's the only game that used the SVP chip. They had a few others planned, but decided to go ahead with the 32x instead.

This or F-Zero X. I honestly can't choose between them.

Saw this in Gamepro. The visuals blew me the fuck away. I spent a summer mowing lawns, saving up, bought N64, got Goldeneye and Rogue Squadron, then the expansion pack and this.

>>1796071
I had the N64 version for a spell but then cashed it in and got a Dreamcast copy instead at a Goodwill.

I'm on the Grabvine Gateway right now. Shittiest. Track. Ever.

Rest of the game is fine but that one course is unruly and should not be.

California Speed-fag here again.

Please give my shitty game a try.

>>1796089
>Grabvine Gateway
FUCK THAT TRACK

>>1795050
Fucking Windows 7 won't let me install my glorious copy

One neat thing about this game is all the courses are interconnected.

So you can just break away from the race and cruise the countryside.

My friend and I did this in split-screen. Was a lot of fun (just don't hit the "reset to bike" button if you fall off because then it'll send you back to the course itself).

>>1796089
>"had the N64 version for a spell but then cashed it in and got a Dreamcast copy instead"
>not knowing about based RRDUAL code

Bro, do you even podrace?

>>1796142
FACK, forgot my image.

How about a HIGH SPEED DRIVING RPG

(I would kill to see this translated)

>>1796140
The Windows 95 version got me started. Found it for 4.99 in a bargain bin. I've since picked up that Playstation version because the Windows one is wonky.

I'd really like to get the PC version of Daytona USA CCE. I want to try that extra track.

Pulled this from my high, dusty shelf

Road and Track Presents: The Need for Speed Second Edition.

$1 from an op-shop

>>1796287
quality

This and Cruising USA were most of the /vr/ racing I played.

How's Scud Race? Is it possible to emulate on low-end PCs?

>>1790447
I've been playing the port of Super Hang-on for the 3DS, really fun game

Excellent music and the feeling of speed when you're turboing is great (until you drive into a bush and lose 5 seconds)

>>1796636
Emulation's still needing work, but it's easier to emulate than ever before. Based Supermodel!

>>1796701
Keep plugging away, that game never gets old.

/vr/ please

>>1796737
You literally took the words right outta my mouth.

>>1796742
RUSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH

>>1795017
I like the SuperFX graphic style for some reason. It feels easy on the eyes.

Which racing games have train as hazards?

>>1795037

And that was SEGA's biggest mistake ever. Along with the early release of the Saturn.

>>1796114
I liked that game. Been years since I last saw it though.

>>1796632
>>1792745
>>1792205
>>1790239

Nice. Was hoping to see these posted.

Rollcage was probably one of my favorite racing games on the Playstation. It came out on PC as well. Never played the sequel

>>1796742
But...I posted Rush 2 earlier...

NFS: High Stakes, though you have to be retarded to get hit by it since it's off the side of the road.

The various Rush games had trains, trolleys, etc.

>>1796846

fuck year rollcage.

game was solid, loved those corkscrew rockets and being able to drive upside down in the pipe tunnels.

There was some Rally game for PS1 my brother and I used to play all the time; but, we got so bored of it that we eventually would just go as fast as we could and crash the car to see how many times it'd flip -- then rewatch the flips over and over, because it had some thing where you could rewatch the race.

>>1796674
Oh fuck yes. I never see this talked about, but it was fun. I ended up needing to spend more time walking around in the overworld than actually racing though.

The Boulder Dash-esque Pluto games weren't horrible either.

>>1797889
I only had the sequel, but it was pretty great. Hours and hours of different modes, though eventually it got hard as fuck for me to actually keep on the track.

I dug this thing up in a garage sale, is it any good? Looks like someone mixed Nascar with kart racing.

>>1797963
It's not great, but it's fun even if you don't like Nascar if you have everything unlocked.

The physics aren't exactly the most fun thing in the world, and powerups are broken everywhere if you're not careful, but it does have a ton of secret cars at least. You can even drive a rocket powered chicken truck.

>>1796071
I still own my PC version. Unfortunately I can never get that fucker to work outside of a VM.

You're very welcome, Anon

>>1795017
The arcade version is so superior.

>>1799070
PS2 port was close enough for a long time, and new courses = joy.

>>1798038
Imagine a world where Uniracers got a sequel and it was 3D.

Oh wait, I don't have to imagine because that practically happened. Great fucking vidya.

>>1790230

Cruising USA

>>1797963
I have both games.

Rumble Racing looked extremely hype in an EGM2 issue I had but then I played it and, while still fun, wasn't as amazing as I thought.

Personally I'm not terribly fond of racing games that use weapons. You can turn them off in this game and RR but then it feels like you aren't playing the game way it was intended.

Oh, and it's not retro but if you liked the Rumble games, check out CART Fury for the PS2. It's not by the same company (I think it's by Midway) but it has a similar premise (a licensed racing game turned into an arcade-y experience).

>>1792978

Touge Max G. Didn't find a video to show a MR2, but it is one of the models. Actually, there is the MR2 from 80's, the 90's model and MR-S.

I would kill to see the translation for this gem too. Unless if I had to kill a cat. ;_;

Racing Lagoon does look very cool, and it's more likely to get a translation soon than any of the J-PC games I hawk around.

One of my favoorite ps1 Racers.

I'd look for a copy of Manx TT SuperBike (fun game from the bowling alley) but it only had two courses.

Way too small time.

>>1796737
Mah nigga

you are all smalltime.

RC Pro-AM anyone?

>>1792202
>>1792209

There was a cut price version with online play and some changes (Tracks had weather variations including tornados) released but online play wasn't very good.

I remember it being weirdly ahead of it's time in looks though the framerate was an ass (Uncapped so it was supposed to go 60 but it mostly hovered around 40-50) and the handling wasn't great.

>>1796846

This is my shit, especially R4. God that game.

I can't get the GOG versions of Screamer and Screamer 2 to work under DOSBox. Anybody else have this problem?

>tfw no more arcade racers

Nowadays it's all about licensed cars with no damage, DLC and awards for time invested rather than skill. I played the shit out of Daytona on my saturn, and it wasn't the thought of unlocking new cars that made me keep coming back - it was the thrill of shaving thousands of a second of my best lap times. Hopefully the 90's arcade racer will be good.

>>1803757
no, actually, S2 works fine for me

install the game through the GOG installer. then, in the GOG DOSBox's config file, check which file is mounted as a CD-ROM in the autoexec section - it's actually a pair of renamed CUE/BIN files, so you can re-rename and move them to wherever you put your disk image files, and optionally edit the CUE file if you renamed the BIN file so it keeps working. after that you can remove the GOG installation of the game.

then you can mount the BIN/CUE image in your own DOSBox and install the game off it

>>1803743
thanks for posting that Anon, I was looking for that game for some time now
only thing I remembered about it was the low poly 3D and that the last race was on the moon

>>1803830
Awesome! Thank you so much.

>>1803842
I used to play that game like crazy back in the day. Sure, it looked like shit. But, man, was it fun!

What do I play first?

Been playing the hell out of SF Rush 2049 and Demolition Racer: No Exit lately, along with more modern versions of GT and Need for Speed.

Forgot just how fun racing games can be.

>>1793001
How can you even play Initial-D outside of Arcades.

I'm legitimately curious because I've never seen it outside of arcades.

>>1806428
Is that Fatal Racing?

>>1807356
it certainly is

International Rally Championship is a big favorite for me till this day. I still own the original disc.

>>1807549
it's an ok game, like a mix of Lotus 3 and Net-Q Rally, especially with the mode where you have to stop to refuel

I prefer MF's more simulation-style rally games though

What are the best versions of Sega Rally Championship and Daytona USA to emulate? Are the Saturn releases OK?

I used to have the PC versions but I guess it would be a mess to run them on modern systems.

>>1790876
>ReVolt
I've been playing this game for the past two days. It's not bad or anything, but it feels like an even more infuriating version of a Kart racer. I guess I should git gud.
