Jupiter's Masterdrive is fun.

brett71 · 30 June 2014, 16:05

Nitro was pretty damn good. Loved the character portraits. I just wished they'd implemented the pedestrians that were mentioned in the manual. The Death Race 2000 vibe would have been even better.

My brother and his friend played a lot of Super Off Road Racing, but I could never get the control scheme (with the controls being relative to the vehicle, not to the screen)

Foul · 30 June 2014, 20:01

i just forgot a top game : Skidmarks !!!

unforgivable !

crazyc · 30 June 2014, 20:25

My best mate and I used to play supercars 2 and badlands. Good times...

Mashed and mashed reloaded on the ps2, its not quite overhead viewed but it is so much fun, a real hidden gem.

T_hairy_bootson · 01 July 2014, 04:05

Besides the ones mentioned SC/SCII/Indy heat/Badlands etc.. I thought I should mention this one as it was one of my favourites as well.

Champion Driver

turrican3 · 01 July 2014, 05:21

Argh this thread has given me a head hurt.

I (think I) remember an Amiga racing game that went like this. I'm pretty sure you raced in minis, the track was mostly dirt (maybe like rallying), it was fixed screen (so no scrolling), the cars were really small, it was shown at an elevated angle like Indy Heat. Not sure if it was multi-player. There were short-cuts I seem to remember which really slowed you down but saved a lot of distance, and there might well have been those like of Dunlop bridges that you raced under.

I've been through the list at http://oagd.net/browse/racing and it's none of them. Anyone have an idea? It might have been a non-english game maybe, it certainly wasn't a game I had seen advertised or read about.

Rally Cross Challenge seems good. And s2325 always on the top to find a game !!! You sleep with your disks or mags ?

hioctane= nitro 2p splitscreen ?
It doesn't look too bad.
Could you upload this one s2325 ?

s2325 · 02 July 2014, 09:13

You can find few versions on EAB server.

Photon · 02 July 2014, 22:35

Yeah Micro Machines was ace and Nitro as well, the rest just don't get any plays from me anymore. There's a fun one called Jupiter's Masterdrive, and Super Off Road grows on you (the title music does not as I recall).

Also found these which I haven't played

I quite liked Karting Grand Prix. When I bought it and used it for the first time, I thought like: what a crap. But it´s fun once you get into it.
