Super Hang-On is a comfort game for me, if I need a pick up and play racer I often choose that
If I wanna get more technical while staying retro I'd play Gran Turismo 2
If I'm in a "I need the arcade experience" mood I'll play Daytona USA
Colin McRae Rally for PSX/PSP still holds up really well.
Re-Volt but also all the Crash Bandicoot were fire.
rc pro am and super off road give me so much nostalgia from my childhood.
I also have mega nostalgia from rad racer :)
Crash team racing on PS1
A game that no one I know IRL knows exists without me telling them:
Eliminator Boat Duel on NES.
Basically Super off-road meets Cobra Triangle.
In nokia n-gage (the og and not the 2nd smaller version) there was a rally game, really good one.... Then I like rally 3.
I hate that I can call this “retro” now, but 100% INITIAL D arcade machine or PSP game.
SPEEDY SPEED BOY
GASOLINE’S BURNIN’ IN
Top Gear 3000. It's the main reason why I have a SNES emulator installed on every device I own lol.
Grand Prix on Atari was pretty fun.
San Francisco rush extreme racing 64.
Not my favorite, but I really liked Buggy Run from Master System
Rally Cross Beetle Adventure Racing Outrun
re-volt and quantum redshift
Ridge Racer 4 on PlayStation. Such great mechanics. It’s genuine fun.
Radical Psycho Machine (RPM) Racing for the SNES!
Fun fact, this was one of the few games that played entirely in the SNES' High Resolution graphics mode!
It's a close call between Super Hang-On, World Rally and Colin McRae 2.0.
Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega, Super Maro Bro for the NES, along with Zelda, and Hotwheels micro racer. Blaster Master waa also a super fun game that I am on the hunt for. Far as Road Rash loved the PS1 version. Also play the shit out of Cruising the USA for the Nintendo 64.
Jet Moto series on PS1
No clue whether people consider the wii retro yet, but it's a tie between Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity on wii (since that's how I experienced it) or Cartoon Network Racing on PS2 (same reason). I'm fairly certain PS2 is technically retro by now, as insane as that sounds.
