Ah man, this makes me miss the days of staying up late as a kid playing games like Triple Play 2000 and Need For Speed High Stakes on our old Compaq Presario, Windows ME. It's crazy to think that the graphics were so good for back in the day, and now we think graphics are phenomenal of new games. I really can't wait to see how graphics improve in 20 years! Thanks for the throwback, Zach!

That means you're vintage now

The second i clicked on the vid I started singing the intro. It’s amazing how after so long the memory takes over like that. Also I was a Rusty fan.

I was a kid in the 90s and my childhood is filled with NASCAR announcers in the background of many of my experiences. This game is engrained in my memories too, especially the Molly Hatchet!

That intro got me. Glad to have you back Zach! ❤❤❤

Jeff Gordon is also my favorite racecar driver also until he retired amd now I don't watch nascar anymore but this brought back memories

You have no idea what this just did to me. I spent more hours playing this and fighting my brother for going backwards than I can count, when that bill Elliot car popped up and then the irnie car on the main menu. Man I smiled big

Awe man. I can remember opening this game up along with the PS1 on Christmas. First game I ever played as a kid. This hit me in the heart.

I was trying to remember what NASCAR game had that song. Thank you for this Zach. Glad to have you back too. I've missed watching your videos.

Played this game all the time with my pops! Loved the nostalgia and memories. RIP dad

Thank you so much for this! Just hearing that initial PlayStation noise at the very beginning brought back all the feels.. So many great memories of a simpler time. Friday night, no school in the morning, buzzed on Surge and Pizza Rolls and playing for hours on end. Not a care in the world.. I miss that feeling.

Oh yeah, lots of great memories. My grandma was visiting from out of state and she bought this for me when we all went to Walmart just for the heck of it. I played this game so dang much. I've never even followed nascar.

Flirting with disaster might as well be nascar's theme song. I grew up with this game. I played nascar 98 for years. Talladega was my favorite track. Now I'm grown up and I finally get to go to a race at talladega. You best believe I'll be blasting some Molly Hatchett when I get there!

Zach! This game does brings back so many great Nostalgic memories! The graphics, sounds and gameplay for Nascar'98 was so good for its time, instant classic! Could you showcase all the retro ps1,ps2 Nascar games? Would love to watch and reminisce Through the years of greatness. :)

I used to play this all the time. And I still do every once in a while. My drivers were Ernie Irvan and Dale Jarrett.

So many great memories playing this with my dad 😃

I've been on a 90's NASCAR kick lately.

My dad and I spent many nights playing this together when I was a kid. Even had the steering wheel and pedals. Good times

I wasn’t even a nascar fan but still played this game so much as a kid. it was so addicting so fun.

My driver was John Andretti, whose's driving he RCA #98 car for Cale Yarabourgh. Sadly, he's battling for his life right now with colon cancer. As I remember you could wave in the car. Same with having a cheat code where you could have paint balls spat at the car in front of you, and spin them out. By the way, Exide was a car battery company.

I grew up on Atari. This game graphics and music absolutely blew my mind back in the day!

I grew up a Gordon fan as a kid in the 90s and until he retired in 15. But 80s 90s NASCAR was the best in my opinion.

My mom bought this for me when it came out since me and my brother-in-law were HUGELY into NASCAR back then. We had to listen to that intro song and watch the video every single time we played the game to get pumped up.

Dude I did the same thing before I played the game. I was 10 when this came out and I couldn't stop playing. This was way ahead of it's time. What I couldn't understand is why didn't all of these games have Daytona on them? I don't remember the first game that had Daytona on it but I was born and raised and still live 20 mins west of Daytona international speedway and have been to races since I was 5 and all I wanted to do what race at Daytona. This video makes me wanna go buy a PlayStation, the old school one and get this game and play it day in and day out

Hard to believe how much better this is than modern NASCAR games!

Just bought a PS1 last night and I'm looking through all the games I played as a kid haha.. Getting this for sure. Running 100% laps like the old days and no doubt crashing within the last 10 laps hahaha

Excide was Excide Battery. I believe Jeff Burton was it's driver.

8 years after this game came out, I played it. Worth it. Born the same year.

It took me only one minute to feel like a five year old kid again who sits in her brothers room and plays this game with him for hours and hours 😭😭😭❤️

haha i loved this game !!! the intro is the best all time

Oh my God man this is so nostalgic. Brings back so many good Memories. This is what got me into Nascar and I'm still watching it today. Just out of curiosity do you remember the game Destruction derby it was out around that time?

Derby destruction 2 was a super fun game

Oh god I remember playing this! That menu music = nostalgia XD

I may have never seen this game before, but i felt the same way when i played 99, listening to that intro and everything

Those old nascar games are cool as hell I still have nascar 99 hadn’t touched it in years

This song is still stuck in my head it was a great song

Jeff was my second favorite driver back in the day, right behind Ricky Rudd, of all people. Dunno why i liked him or how i ended up picking him, but yeah. He was my guy 100%

Whenever we took the camper to the river my dad would bring our PS1 and we would play nascar 98 together. Man that menu music is the most memorable part of my childhood

Holy crap this video sent me back to when I played this on my dads PS1 back in late 90’s early 2000’s

That song is burned into my memory. Also leaving pit stop "go buddy go go go"

I actually have and still have the Collector's edition with Richard Petty on the cover and he and Darlington are in the game. And the intro celebrated NASCAR's 50th anniversary.

Awe man I remember being a kid and watching my dad play this on ps1 😂 it was his favorite game

I loved the game and it reintroduced me to Molly Hatchet. Thanks for the video and the memories! ❤ Annnnnd i never knew that the Molly Hatchet album covers were by Frank Frazetta!!! 🎉

It's in the game. Never played this, but I did play far too many EA sports games as a kid.

Thanks for the throwback Zach. I spent days and days of my childhood playing the original Driver on the PS1. Any chance?

I remember playing this when I was a kid and there was a button that you could push on the playstation controller. You can wave to the crowd if you had the cockpit view

I may be 18, and this game is older than me, but I still played it as a kid!

My brother and I played this all the time We would put on Molly Hatchet and use the button for “waving” and tap it to make the driver look like he was tapping the wheel to the beat lol

Oh heck yeah! This was my first racing game I ever played! Ah, good times! Thank you so much for helping me remember some good times for once.

I had this game this takes me back I was only 19 at the time and I finished high school that year

I'm a big Jeff Gordon fan as well, and I'm proud of it, no shame here.

This was my favorite game as a kid. Your right back then the graphics felt amazing.

i think part of the reason old games look so bad when viewed today are the drastic increase in screen clarity. CRTs didn't really have a fixed resolution, and had a natural edge fuzziness that worked effectively like anti-aliasing so the images displayed weren't nearly as jaggedly pixelated as on a modern screen.

Ahhhhh the smile that came on my face when I heard that intro

Funny on how this game blanked out the Winston Cup hats but the PC games had the whole Winston Cup banners everywhere

loved this game and song as a young boy lol Jeff Gordon fan here as well brother!

I played the hell outta 99 when I was a kid. Don’t know that I ever had this one but the nostalgia is real my guy

I got my ps1 in sixth grade for Christmas and this was the game I got. Absolutely loved the game.

The good old days

omg, thank you for this, the first minute of this video was pure childhood nostalgia!

So you still have the original PS1? I have it, I just stored it away, but I can play it anytime, but not planning to anytime soon lol, but amazing video Zach!! So many memories came back to me from this!

I remember going to Walmart with my dad..I was probably 12.. And we not only bought this game, we bought the steering wheel and pedals to go with it as well! For the past 23 years, every single time I hear flirtin with disaster by Molly Hatchet, I think about me and my daddy playing this game! Ty for this ❤️ P.S. I also watched the intro like, every time! Lol

This is cool too see I’ve never seen this game ever. My nascar game was NASCAR thunder 2003 and I loved playing it in my childhood

Oh man I had NASCAR thunder 2003 and I loved it so much

The black Havoline car was always my choice , that intro song!!!

Man. I’m 26 now. Seeing this is giving me chills lol I remember growing up, I myself lived and breathed NASCAR lol my whole family did. Plus my dad, brother, and all my uncles raced at our local track for YEARS! I also just remembered that you could use paintballs! By going to I think it was the screen in the pause menu that showed all the people and push all the top buttons on the controller and it’d activate the paintballs to shoot the other racers and make them spin out! Haha Great video man. I’m really glad I just found this! You got a sub from me bro! Great work!!💯🤙

Used to play this game with my dad for hours… I would always turn around and drive in the wrong direction and try and wreck him! Haha
