Probably F-Zero GX. Though I'm older than that, I wasn't playing racing games a lot before that. An older game I'd enjoyed a bit was POD (: Planet Of Death).
I've played Mario Kart quite a bit, starting back with super, but I can't really pick one as my favorite retro racing game, because the one I like the most is 8. Though Wii came close.
It's so satisfying when you get good at knocking out other racers. I remember as a teenager I would set my top speed to high and whittle down half of the other racers on my way to the front of the pack.
It's easy to get in the top ten when you drop the racers count down fifteen places.
Hell yeah. And then you've got one of those crazy hard story mode challenges where you pretty much have to destroy as many opponents you can to have enough juice to win. The one with Michael Chain and his gang.
That story mode was unhinged difficult. Don't think I got much further than that.
It was such a cool level. I remember that was the only story level I beat in first couple tries~
I did some of it, enough to unlock a few of the AX characters and some machine pieces, but yes, incredibly hard.
Among the unlocks, Daigoroh was cool. Ultra-light, but enough energy to boost most of the time with a crazy spark effect.
You know, when I read retro racing I immediately thought of NFS and Pod, it's surprising to find someone who still remembers it.
