STATUS: I usually mention Super Sprint and Super Off Road in threads like this because I had so much fun with them (3+ player matches)

HONEST REQUEST: I rarely play MOTORCYCLE stuff outside of Sega classic. I'm sure it falls within the purview of this thread, so...anything good? Or is it a really tiny sub genre (don't mention Road Rash, I played all of them back on the day and haven't had a desire to revisit them).

I prefer non-polygon.

HOULY bump. Awesome thanks forda more games ideas.  8)
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

I love, looooooooove Road Trip on the Playstation 2. Not so much for the racing itself, which is fun-but-standard Choro Q stuff, as for the surprisingly well-done RPG aspects. There's a ton of stuff to do, and the whole thing has a weird, goofy charm that makes it a blast to play.

Easily one of my all-time favorite PS2 games, and it's cheap to boot! :)

Is micro machines the game where if someone falls behind they get dropped out? And there are weapons involved as well I think?

Gonna have to try Split Second for PC.. looks cool.

I really liked Tokyo Xtreme Racer 1 and 2 back on the Dreamcast when it came out, then on the PS2 there is Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero and 3. It kinda goes with the Wangan Midnight anime series which i also recommend if you like import cars. The style of racing is you go around a large city track and challenge cars to a duel to gain money for upgrades and new cars. There is also Import Tuner Challenge on 360 by the same people but i haven't played it yet.

loads of hidden gem racing games...

problem is


are you looking for arcade racers, simulation racers, F1 racers, destruction racers (burnout), or wacky racking game where you fight (mark kart and alike) .......


then there are some really good retooled and revamped classic racers that cameo out during the Xbox (the first one not the XBONE) ...

certainly this. 

Also I think victory run is underrated, it's pretty smooth and I wonder why they never made a sequel with better graphics and sound...

Buggy Boy was another game I enjoyed and also wondered why no pce version... :(



and damnit Konami why no wec le mans for pce
