I loved this game , I had a version where the track disappeared in front of you , you had to guess/time everything

This was my favorite racing game when I was a kid. Then again, I raced motocross during this time as well.

I always had fun with this game. They need to make an updated version of it though

Forgot Centipede and Asteroids... Asteroids was a blast on the harder levels

@CoachMK21

I still play that on my Nintendo 3DS

There really are so many though.

@CoachMK21 Yeah, I spent a lot of time on that, RC Pro AM and Micro Machines. Not sure if any of you watch people playing games on youtube, But I watch a group call YogCast and Hat Films. Ive been watching the Hat Films guys play a game called Trials Evolution. It reminds me of a modern Excitebike.

Oh throwback Thursday, lots of nostalgia for an elder geek like me

Serious nerd cred to who can name the obscure racing game and console (hint it was also an arcade game) from the below pic. I played the hack outta this one:

 

[STEAMER62]

cheers

Being as young as I am (15) I was not blessed with all the older games. But my father did have a Sega Dreamcast and we played everything from Crazy Taxi to Sonic the Hedgehog.
But this game was what got me into racing. (Bonus points to who can name it)

You are playing test drive, this was one of the very first "sim" racers. I can remember playing the original when I was in like 6th grade. That was 1995ish.
Fizzer, correct me if I am wrong, but that looks like Virtua Racer. Made by Sega, I believe it did make it to the Genesis console though.
A series I would like to see rebooted.

I'd say I spent almost as much time on this game as I did on the original GT.

My dad played the hell out of this and I still have it...

Some familiar, albeit flawed recreations of tracks:
Long beach
Spa
Silverstone
Monaco
Suzuka
Monza

And another that always bores into my brain stem:

I spent a lot of time playing this as well. Before I left for the Army, there was a Gameworks at the local mall, Great Lakes Crossing. Every Thursday they would do dollar wells and drafts, and $10 to play from 7 till close. This is where I shacked up most of the time. Getting pissed and drifting like crazy.

You were given a card, and you could swipe it to keep your stats saved. They even had a couple of these for a while.

 

[DMacs13]

This is the game that started it all for me

Daytona USA was actually pretty cool when you played against up to (8?) racers? I remember it was kind of expesive like a dollar to play instead of the usual quarter.

I have the game at home still. Haven't played it in a while as the laser needs replaced. But I can check with Virtua Racer

This one was also in just about every arcade I ever went to:

and to me, one of the best NFS games ever....Porsche Unleashed

Played this on the computer with a wheel and I still miss it

 

[FloptaStr8]

I'm not tech savvy enough for the pics but who remembers/played Zaxxon & Crystal Castle? Those were favorites of ours in high school when we would go too the arcade.

Zaxxon was revolutionary.. one of the 1st game to offer a 3D feel. That was an awesome game. not familiar with the 2nd one.

You pilot an attack shuttle whose mission is to strafe the enemy's "Asteroid City". Destroy fuel tanks, gun implacements, missiles, fighters and a large enemy robot. The game uses an isometric three-quarters perspective that was a unique concept to arcade games of that era.

now I remember..

@MartinJohn88

that reminded me of this one too:

 

[FloptaStr8]

Ok! Never mind. Lol.

 

[MartinJohn88]

I spent a lot of cash on this, was only like 10p a go at the time. Was good getting three of you round it. Was never very good at it though, would love to play now. If I remember right your car got damaged and you had to fix what you could inbetween races!

If only i'd known about racing lines back then!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

San Francisco Rush!

 

[The regzz]

mortal kombat all day

 

[Wolfsatz]

[MartinJohn88]

Gotta love a little cosplay!

http://www.roadredemption.com/ - using the shotgun like the terminator from the 2nd film looks pretty cool!

(ack, meant to edit last post! sorry for the double post)

Total Klassic.

The newer 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' is really good, basically Mortal Kombat with DC characters (seriously, Scorpion from MK is in it). The story mode was actually pretty awesome! It's available for every console at the moment...

[racingchamp30]

I can remember having to blow into the cartridge to get it to work after awhile . Super Mario brothers was my first game on the system.
