F-zero on N64 seemed so unreal to me as a lad - like, "oh fuck dog this is fast as fuck"

Dude, I LOVE Super Sprint.

Actually, I really love Super Off-Road too. Anyone know of any other games like this?

>>557325

You had quite the mouth as a kid.

YEAAAAAH
WOAH WOAHHOH

>>557281

never heard of this game, looks fun as hell based on youtube videos. neo geo was the fucking shit.

>>557376

It's bad ass. Super fast and smooth, the controls are incredibly responsive, and the tracks are designed really well.

A lot of people talk about R.C Pro Am, but there was a remake on the Genesis called Championship Pro Am that's way better.

Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit was fucking great.

dat track design
dat music
dat interior view

Most of the racing games I enjoyed as a kid aren't enjoyable to me anymore. With the exception of maybe Outrun, just about every arcade racer of that style is complete gargabe.

Rush 2: Extreme Racing

>dat stunt park

I think Enduro Racer on the Master System was the first home console game I completed. Once I managed it the first time, I could do it pretty much consistently whenever I played it, from memorizing the tracks so much. Pretty awesome game, with varied track themes.

>NFS used to be a respectable PC franchise

:(

Well, the best two are clearly F-Zero X and Road Rash (32bit version). Those two are basically flawless.

That out of the way, though, I recently picked up Outrun 2019 for my Genesis for cheap and its really cool. Amazing music, classic gameplay.

motherfuckin RRR

Is that game a clone of World Rally, or was WRC the clone?

Anyway, I was looking for a picture of a cabinet used for WRC which had an enclosed cockpit, driver seat, gearstick and a wheel. But instead I found the homepage for the game, and the devs are giving the game away for free!

I've never heard of this. What is it?

>>557368
Oh god my buddy and I sunk so many bucks into this clunky fucking thing in the arcades.

I did appreciate the old checkpoint rally style they tried to bring back at the time, but.

>>558293

Just played this. Tons of fun!

I'm not sure how I feel about the digitized sprites, but everything else is rock solid. I'm guessing this one came first. It's a bit too easy though. I was able to beat it in only a few credits.

Sommma deeess

Outrun, the SEGA arcades were godlike. Also Cruisi'n World was the shit.

But my biggest memory comes from Pole position in atari, never forget the SFX.

When our family had our first PC all I used to play was Carmageddon 2, Quake 2, and MAME.

Neo Drift Out, Overtop, and Thrash Rally got a lot of playtime.

The list is too fucking long. Starting at Outrun on the 286 (spectrum never really had any decent racing games) and ending with MSR on the DC (also TDU, if I can mention it here).

There is, however, one very old racer I continue to play to this day- Street Rod 2. Buy cars, kit them out, race against the locals, make bets... Game's fucking amazing. Wish that new version ever came close to anything worth playing.

Has anyone here ever beaten this game? Fuck, I barely ever won a Mullholand drive, let alone against the King.

>>561130
Mullholand is hard as fuck, most if not all the pink slips I ever got were from the aqueduct. You can use CTRL+F11 in dosbox to slow down the emulation, it's probably easy to do it like that.

The best.

>>561174
Fun as FUCK!

Some of the music in this is among my guiltiest of pleasures.

>>561174
Fuck yeah, this game was great!

FUCK YES, MICRO MACHINES V3 FOR PC.

Certainly a must play (PC version) for those who haven't played it before, and who want to taste the isometric racer genre.

>>557415
I still play it every now and again. No plays online anymore, but there were a metric shit-ton of mods back in the day.

*Pic-related is NFS:HP2, but you get the idea.

this game barely makes the cut being launched in '99
but it's the best GT so far and one of the best racing games ever

>>561174
Awesome, awesome game!

Aside from CTR, the only other racing game I played growing up (mostly because I didn't have any other ones) was "Car & Driver Presents: Grand Tour Racing 98".

It was meant to be something of a competitor to Gran Turismo and is actually a fairly decent game even though I don't particularly care for realistic racing games

>>557281
GeneRally, an ancient Finnish indie game that was distributed for free, is still my favorite racing game of all time. I don't have screenshots of it (the strange color mode corrupts everything), but have this picture of a custom track.

>>557320
Danny Sullivan Indy Heat is Super Off Road with Indy cars.

>>561335
Why is it the best GT ever?

I loved the music from this game.

Is that a monster truck mowing down spectators? That's awesome.

+1 for ignition

>>561260
Wrong. Best MM is MM2 or MM96, MD/genesis version preferred

>>561779
Fucking GOD-TIER party game here.

That fucking sponge.

>>561791
>That fucking sponge

Fighting for that sponge was the true test of skill. That, and the mini micro level on the pool table

>>561516
It's the same as the original with it's own brand of fun arcade physics plus fucktonnes more content. Plus you get a little to do without having to pass a license, unlike most other GT games.

>>561525
Played the absolute shit out of Al Unser Jr. Racing on the PC when I was younger

I liked Ridge Racer.

>>561528
>grand prix legends
oh shit, it's way older than I though when playing

>>561228
the music makes me want to blow my brains out

>>561514

I tried the arcade version, but I couldn't map the controls properly due to the analog wheels and pedals.

I love Death Rally. So disappointed by the remake.

>>557571
this is actually a very fun game
easy to pick up and just play
brofist to you anon

>>558293
Neo Drift Out came out 3 years later, actually

>>563164

There's a sequel to World Rally, but it was a dual-cabinet game, and MAME can't emulate it properly yet.

>>561335
Deep down, I kind of wish GT5 was just GT2 with GT5's car selection.

OutRun 2019 deserves a mention based on the OST alone. I also like being able to choose my path.

>>561791
>>561801

>>561741
This fucking game.

I must've spent a fortune on it in this one arcade. Got to the top of the scoreboard and the place closed down a few weeks later ;_;

>>561528

>>561776
Truly a masterpiece.

>>562336
That almost makes it better.

CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE
DOES IT BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY?
