READY.. SET...Atari Pole Position – arcade game. Pumping 20 pence piecesinto this trend setter at Cowdenbeath Technical College 32years ago is the first recollections of a decent racing game.1716Lotus Turbo Esprit – GrandTheft Auto for the eighties.151314is Indy 500,another Amigatitle. Again, thephysics on thisexceptionally lowpoly game weregreat and some ofthe smashes thatcould result bypushing it justthat little bit toomuch weresomething else.
GO !!!Join3DzForMe on his Grand Prixthrough his favorite racing games31Geoff Crammond'sGrand Prix on theAmiga 1200. Fantasticphysics for the time –the book accompanyingthe game was well puttogether and helpedwith the feeling ofimmersion, for all thegraphics were someway of the eye candywe have by today'sstandards. Oh thehours spent perfectinglap times – I think ithad replays!Stunt-Car Racer. Hooking up two Amigas with a Null modem cable –racing with a pal at home had never been so much fun!Put put of the engine, drop onto the track and off you go.I've enjoyed many a console andcomputer game through thedecades. From pumping 20 pencepieces into Atari's Pole Positionsome 30 years ago when at college,to the fun of playing Paperboy withcontrols of a bike's handlebars, torole playing games ranging fromNever Winter Nights, Age ofEmpires, Command and Conquer,Lemmings and various incarnationsof a little known game which hadshouts of 'Hey...... its a me, Mario!'My appeal for driving games evenseen me playing around in Blitz3Dwith articulated trucks with duckson top driving around Mario KartFort Block-esque structures(rendered by yours truly). Movedonto having a car in the back of thetrailer KITT (aka Knight Rider) carstyle – you could drop down the tailgate and drive the car out – I know –its crazy what can be achieved withBlitz3D and JV-ODE, one greatphysics library.As I've got older, the one gaminggenre which has kept me comingback for more is racing games. I'mgoing to touch upon my top 17driving games (it was going to be 10– there were just so many games Icould not omit from the list though!)through the decades, finishing offwith the one which is currentlyeating up maybe 2-4 hours of myweek at the moment. Yeah, itdoesn't seem like much but otherlife stuff happens these days. So,the games within this article I hadthe benefit of playing / owning. Onething that struck me whilst collatingimages for this is the large amountof other driving games available thatI was simply unaware of. Anyhow, Idigress without further adieu – thelist – the majority of which Iown/have owned (excepting thearcade machines).
