Something a little bit new, would like to do more of these, as long as you enjoy! What next?

[JustMartha]

Playing old games in wide resolutions, upscaled to 4K is something special <3

[Supervigy]

All past years: realistic cars evolving
2023: dinky mario kart cars

[theannihilator]

Gran Turismo 4, Burnout 3 Takedown and Most Wanted... good old PS2 times. I will never forget my 1000 hp red Viper SRT10 in GT4... <3

[Voltaic_Rider]

Need for speed on old gen will always have a special place in my heart

[Real_Claudy_Focan]

For the ones who werent there at the time of Ridge Racer and Sega Rally ; these were insane back then ! Absolute arcade legend (and i talk of the place called "arcade", not the genre)
Arcade stations with these games were flocked with people (including me), what a time it was !

[thebluecollarkid]

I believe Midtown Madness should be here on the list!

[vtgvideos]

Man I'm kind of sad that there was no clip for any of the midnight club games

[Owen_plays_music]

2:48 1994 ?! Holy shit, this looks amazing for 30 years old !

[thebluecollarkid]

Well.... This is something new! And I liked it!

[trilexi]

WTF ?
Where is Test Drive Unlimited ? It's litterally the game that opened the way for the Horizon series and The Crew. Just an important game yet it's not here.

Even worst than that, I read all the comments and saw that it was mentioned only ONCE ??

[KarausTheReTeller]

Test Drive 5, NFS3HP, GT3 ... Good memories... I'm glad about my childhood...

[pipedream]

My local arcade had a special games night every 2 weeks. Pay £5 to get in and everything was free. So many games on Daytona, Sega Rally, Out Runners and more.

[alm]

My early memories were with Cruis'n USA!

My gosh, Winning Run held best graphics for a few years there. Excellent 2D work! (Probably not fair that it's an arcade game, compared to the underpowered console games)

[botmushin]

Most of the games on this list would be classified as the "devolution" of racing games.

[ngiants]

You got me…lol…you got me on the last game…haha..I was telling myself just before the last game how much first person racing games had evolved and the BOOM a kart game??? Lol.. yeah, you got me good!

[woulinx]

where is underground series? where is flat out? these are my childhood

[zantheros]

God, the original Ridge Racer... now that brought back some memories, with its preloading Galaxian minigame and terrifying boss race against the #13 Black Devil.

Fun Fact: thanks to everything being preloaded immediately, you could remove the game disk from the console and place in a music CD once you were in the game. You could then listen to your own music while you played Ridge Racer. It was utter wizardry back in the 90s.

[chocolatefox]

Man seeing Test Drive 5 brought back memories I even remembered that music track

[journeysuperstaroriginal]

A little sad my boy Daytona USA never got a mention. 😢
