Being Nintendo developed there’s no need to read the manual Ethe simple controls and well-structured tutorials will soon have players putting their suspensions to the test. Not simply at out and out race either: drivers must balance a podium spot with keeping the fans entertained through stunts, big, comfortably-landed airs, barging opponent vehicles and spectacular crashes to gain sufficient bonus stars. And the well-thought out courses are a real hoot to race on, especially on a turbo.

Great innovation on the Galaxian or Space Invader theme that sees the players ship progressing forward given a sense of momentum by the 3D style scrolling landscape below. The shooting action has tight collision detection and some great, old school sound effects.

Nintendo 64
Sports
Takes the Super Famicom prequel to new heights which was no mean feat considering the strength of the original. Expect to be leaning into each turn as the frame rate zips along with pizzazz even with vast numbers of on screen racers in this sci fi racer. The comic style presentation also makes a refreshing change all backed by an appropriate rock soundtrack. Well worthy of the Nintendo brand.

PC Engine HU Card
Sports
Overhead perspective racing game that captures the essence of Formula 1 to the point where the petrol fumes and burning rubber seem to be emitted from the whining PC Engine. Best to check the step down in such instances too though.

PC Engine Super CD ROM

The hum of engines accompanies this overhead speed freak which thankfully has helpfully cursors appearing to guide the driver round the right bend. As in the real sport, tactical pit stops are a must and the right tyres boosts chances of a podium finish rather than just watching the fun from below.
Super Famicom

PC Engine Super CD ROM
Simulation
Lots of tweaking to the cars to be able to allow the team to savour top spot on the podium in this race simulation from the cult classic team of Laser Soft, an off-shoot of Telenet.
Dreamcast
Sports
Stunning 60 frames per second graphics on par with the coin op release, tight controls and, as the name would suggest, a real challenge to get to grips with demanding more and more from the driver to really push you to the limits. Sega has worked hard on the physics, handling, collisions and this realistic title pushes Gran Turismo right up against the guard rail with Yu Suzukifs expertise shining through like lens flare. Realistic too in the sense that braking is a must to progress, making for some slight initial teething but that is soon soothed away as you power slide to perfection.
