What racing games, arcade & console, would you say were the great games prior to Gran Turismo? :confused: Pole Position and Bump N' Jump are pretty legendary. :cool:

It wasn't the first, first person perspective games like Night Driver and Enduro predated it. :cool:

SNES - Super Mario Kart. Cutesy, I know, but the gameplay was top-notch! Good multiplayer racer (with attacking! :D), lots of fun. The N64 version was OK, but not like the original.

Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road and Excitebike were nice looking NES titles. :cool:
