  Lots of great ones mentioned here and while I don’t know if it’s my favorite, I have a deep soft spot for Super Off-Road. It has an incredible spatial sense and fluidity for its time and still holds up at any barcade.

  • Single player: Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga
  • Multiplayer: Super Skidmarks also on the Amiga

    Stunt Car Racer can have two players on two Amigas with a serial cable connecting them.

      I think it’s cross platform too, to Atari and DOS

  If Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed has become retro then it’s that lol.

  Mario kart is the only racing game I’ve ever been good at.

  So, I’ll take Mario Kart 64 as my best retro pick.

  For me it’s Rad Racer on NES. Just very nostalgic! I love the sounds and the graphics just scream 80s/early 90s

    And you can press select and everything goes to anaglyph 3D…

    A random piece of trivia you can use to blow certain people’s minds is that Rad Racer was developed by Square. Yes, that Square.

  Rock n Roll racing for the SNES. Absolutely adore that game.

    Yeah, RnR, as well as SF Rush 2049 were basically my entire childhood… so much so that I have been using this user name ever since. Though, if I could somehow also add in a tokyo extreme racer reference too without it getting too long or complicated… or culturally insensitive… I loved thise games too. Not enough proper Racing RPG games any more. You never start from the bottom and work your way up. Modern racing games just have you win cars in the lottery…

      SF Rush was an absolute riot!

  No clue whether people consider the wii retro yet, but it’s a tie between Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity on wii (since that’s how I experienced it) or Cartoon Network Racing on PS2 (same reason). I’m fairly certain PS2 is technically retro by now, as insane as that sounds.

  I suppose crash team racing would be considered retro now.

  I spent countless hours finding all the secret paths and shortcuts

  Lotus III or Micro Machines probably. Maybe Road Rash (either version).

  Diddy Kong racing.

  I hate that I can call this “retro” now, but 100% INITIAL D arcade machine or PSP game.

  SPEEDY SPEED BOY

  I guess it depends on the definition of “Retro”. I never got into racing games until Jet Moto and Wipeout on the original Playstation.

  Top Gear 3000. It’s the main reason why I have a SNES emulator installed on every device I own lol.

  Ridge Racer 4 on PlayStation. Such great mechanics. It’s genuine fun.

  Radical Psycho Machine (RPM) Racing for the SNES!

  Fun fact, this was one of the few games that played entirely in the SNES’ High Resolution graphics mode!

  Grand Prix on Atari was pretty fun.

  It’s a close call between Super Hang-On, World Rally and Colin McRae 2.0.
