Thanks for watching Jen i knew you and T Belly would appreciate this video as you love the NES :-)

Everyone hates it for it's difficulty but Days of Thunder is actually a very good game. Great 3-d graphics without flickering, slipstreaming other race cars to sling past them, pit stops that takes true skill to master, good music. It's very underrated.

I have very fond memories playing Super Sprint with my brother when we were kids.

#1 is absolutely right ! That game is as fun today , as upon it’s release. It does not age. AT ALL !!!! The true mark of a masterpiece.

Nostalgia may be clouding my judgement as it's the only racing game I owned back in the day, but I put Galaxy 5000 as #1. Such a good combination of racing, using items, a jump mechanic, decision making (how much to repair the car).

Great video as always buddy and it's nice to see what some of these old systems can do as i was to much of a commodore fanboy before i got a PC ofc. Catch you in the next one :-)

Never had the machine but some cracking racers on that list. Nice one.

Yes, agreed. I haven't played all of the racing games on this least, but many of the F1 racers felt similar while this one stood out. I prefer it over Rad Racer. I like the "RPG" elements of improving your car. Out of the F1 type games I've played it's the one that added in the most video game elements. I can also appreciate a game that balances difficulty progression well. With the shittiest car you can just hold accelerate the whole time & not worry about corners being too sharp because your max speed doesn't have you go off the side, but as the game progresses & you use faster cars (& need to, to win) I find myself strategically needing to take my "foot" off the gas or use the brake well.

I was definitely a Super Sprint and Super Offroad kid - but I see in this list you really only have a handful of archetypes: RC Pro Am types, Super Offroad types, Pole Position types, and Excitebike stands alone. You may be able to break out the Pole Positions into shooting/no shooting, like Roadblasters or Mach Rider vs Rad Racer, for instance.

R.C. Pro Am would still win since it's both a racing game with shooting. But you could play without shooting anything if you wanted too.

Watching a lot of videos like this, you start to develop a feel for which games were popular outside the US vs among Americans. And Micro Machines is one of those franchises that comes up among British reviewers. And 9 times out of 10, looking up such a game reveals that it has British developers - sure enough, CodeMasters is from England. It's interesting how things fall geographically like that. I also notice this with games like Speedball II (English developers), Cannon Fodder (English developers), Lemmings (Scottish developers). These were the games we played when growing up here in Australia, on our PCs and our 8-bit systems like Commodores, but aren't spoken about with nostalgia by the Americans. I identify with British video game channels more as a result. I think the distinction is blurred with more modern games. Emblematic of this is that I don't think people realise that Rockstar (same people who made Lemmings) are British and their modern games look American and are probably way more popular there.

Nigel Mansell's World Championship graphics are outstanding for an NES. I will buy a cartridge right now!

Being unfamiliar with the NES I found myself pleasantly surprised how good some of these game are from a 8-bit machine. The F1 games all looked a bit samey to me but some of the others looked great. Super Sprint looks mint and Micro Machines too, great list m8 :)

I have to put original radio racer at number 1. It has faster feeling game play, better sound, better music, better controls, and better graphics. Part 2 did have the better ending theme though. I would have to put tc pro and in 2nd followed by formula 1 1990 which seems to be a rad racer 1987 clone with a mix or rad racer 1 and 2 elements.

Rad Racer and R.C. Pro Am for the win. Wasn’t a great fan of racers but those 2 games were always good fun.

Micro machines was life on NES. I played the shit out of it. Cobra triangle is a little gem on this list 👌 Great video OSG 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏁

The major difference between RC Pro Am II and the original is the ability to race two players simultaneously around a fast-moving track, which I think was pretty unique in the 8-bit world at the time

Turbo Racing would be No. 1 for me. great list

Cool seeing all these racing game lists and Micro Machines just seems to be excellent on any console!

Love racing games, and never really knew how many really wacky games there were, but also how many good ones there were on the console. It only got better as Nintendo moved on to the SNES, but not as many and a lot more abstract racers. My go-to games were Top Gear (1&2), F-Zero, Micro Machines and Uniracers. Never really played Super Mario Kart back then.

Impressive set of titles! Terrific video, OSG.

Good list. Also love road fighter. One of my fave racing games of alltime. Although the nes version is not so good as arcade it is plenty of fun. It is pure simplicity (never understood how they never tryed to port to other 8 bit systems like atari). It is quite unique, the opponents behavior it's defined by colors, when we collide against other cars, we have a small chance to recover control.

Perfect list, thank you!!!

Although it isn't really a racing game I played Road Fighter a lot when I was younger. Absolutely mastered it, could do all tracks without getting bumped. It seems to have the same sound effects as the no. 19 game on this list.

Great list, I like how you included the year of release and publisher

I never had a NES when I was a kid mainly because I was 20 when it was released. I have never played a NES racing game in my life. I have never been a fan of racing games that put your car/bike at the bottom middle of the track where you just dodge cars by moving left or right, a la pole position, as you "race" towards an infinite horizon. Interesting to see just how many racing games were made for the system though and R.C. games look pretty cool

Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge was awesome also.

RC Pro Am!! Agreed 100% Racing games are what really separated the NES from my beloved c64, which really struggled in that category generally speaking- this is where the faster cpu/hardware shows its self. I remember seeing it on my neighbors NES back in the day and thinking, “Wow my c64 can’t do that”
