best racing game ever?

<< < (6/9) > >>

Dexter:
Outrun, when it first appeared it blew me away. My first arcade racers though were pole position and sprint, they'll always win the nostalgia war with me.

Leif:
Hands down... SCUD Race/Super GT.

I will do backflips when this game gets emulated and playable.

Havok:
Put me down for:

Hard Drivn'
Race Drivn'

Awesome game, and cab (cockpit version)

Anyone got one they want to give away in the Northeast? It doesn't have to work...

 ;D

shardian:
Gran Turismo 2 for me. Me and a roomate actually took turns to complete the marathon races.

Also, nothing beats getting the Pike's Peak car and just holding down the accelerator and still winning races.

I think the best arcade racer of all time is Rush 2049 Coin-op. I am biased as I'm proud to say I was the lead programmer on that game.

It used the code from Hard Drivin' and Race Drivin' but was dumbed down to make it earn more money from people who can't actually handle driving a real car through stunt courses.

My favorite console racer is Wave Race 64.  The best arcade racing gameplay for the home I think.

I loved Super Sprint, and I too was totally blown away by OutRun when it came out.

My second favorite arcade racer is Super Hangon.  Has to be standup version, and has to have all the controls and everything working.  But that game, I agree, defines the maximum speed at solid 60hz and what you can do with high framerate and high speed (a big reason I pushed for 60hz NO-DRONES ghosts in the last couple weeks of 2049 was inspiration from Super Hangon -- IE single player racing can be fun too).

3rd favorite is 8-way linked Daytona.  Defined the concept of casual arcade linked racing.  Totally love bumping and extra super duper catchup, and powersliding that one turn in the beginner track.
