Ranking Arcade racing Games that I played (mostly Sega) That use Cabinet Arcade Machines

[SvennoJ]

It's been so long ago, my favorite was Lotus Turbo Challenge on the Amiga 500. We played that in split screen on a daily basis


It all started for me with Hyper Rally on the MSX


Actually it started with Turbo Outrun in the arcade.


I didn't play Outrun until later on PC


Where my sim racing addiction started with Indianapolis 500


The Need for speed series got my attention on PC

Then got really good later on Playstation

Test Drive was fun as well


And the first Gran Prix Circuit


Later Crazy Taxi became a big favorite


Before Burnout stole the show

When arcade racing was still hard, touch a car and reset.

It's probably why arcade racers don't give me many thrills anymore. There is so little risk, you can knock everyone out of the way, drive through everything hardly slowing down. Even a head on collision with a truck, ehh no problem, just rewind.

Oops, was Crazy Taxi ever in the arcades, I guess only (Turbo) Outrun counts.

Yep it counts. Crazy taxi would have been my favorite!


Arcades were taken over by slot machines when I became a teenager, so never really had a lot of time in them. Still enough to make it to the end in Turbo Outrun on one coin.
