legacy racing

Which do you think were the great racing games prior to Gran Turismo? Pole Position and Bump N' Jump were pretty legendary. :icon_rr:

I thought RC-Pro Am was pretty kick ass. So were some of the Ridge Racer games.

Ahh Namco Rally-X, the amazing maze game. 2D top down at its finest.:icon_rr:

That one is on the little retro game stick namco thingymibob.

You know, the joysticks with the games built in that you plug into the TV? Friend of mine has it... it has Rally X and Bosconian... some other ones, too.

Rally X was fun. Turbo was a good one too. I had the steering wheel for my Colecovision.

Rally X was one of the games that never got ported to NES, Intellivision, Colecovision or Atari 2600. Maybe it was too difficult to port for the older consoles, and by the time the NES came along (1985/86) Rally X was too old to bother porting for a console. So it slipped through the cracks.

Roadblasters for Lynx & NES, lol.:icon_thum
