A bit of a blast from the past here!

but which racing arcade games to you remember. heres my top 5 in no particular order



1. Hard Drivin' an ancient simulator but hilarious fun with loop to loops and big bridges to jump. car actually handled quite realistically and you had to use the clutch. good for teaching you to drive when your 6 years old!


2. Daytona USA. after watching days of thunder your probably looking for a daytona usa machine. v8 noise was addictive and you could get up to 8 machines linked up.


3. Sega Rally. Probably be most popular on any other forum but it didnt have a ford. just a celica and an integrale. always had to go the delta!



4. Club GTI. always enjoy a good hand brake turn. dont remember much but did play it a lot with its renault 4 turbo thing!


5. Ferrari F355 challenge. used to skip high school for this one. 3 screens, 6 speed box, proper clutch and ferrari racing, come on! excellent driving simulator, real handling but could only drive the monza track, the rest were too hard.

 

sega rally's my fav on there, used to love it as a kid. and maybe occasionally now too.....

 

sega rally or daytona

haha imagine having one of these in your house, would be CLASS!

 

theres plenty on ebay, just look up in categories. Video games -> coin operated -> machines

just make sure you get a working one!

What about Sega Outrun? That was a damn good game in it's day!

 

what about the original outrun game

 

knew i'd forgotton something, i didnt play it coz i had it for the mega drive!

 

OUTRUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ridge racer

 

ridge racer another quality shout

 

it cost me some money as a teenager living minutes from blackpools amusment arcades

 

Chase HQ or something like that? it was old and abit like outrun style except you had to catch up and chase a car infront and keep hitting it reducing a gauge in the middle of the screen, eventually if you were successful the car would blow up/stop

 

well be at a top ten soon!

ridge racer, chase hq and outrun

 

Wasn't that SpyHunter?

Edit - Spyhunter was a 2D from above but you had to chase cars and crash into them to blow them up.

 

scud racer
sega touring cars

but pole position ftw

What were the two tunes you could select in Outrun, one was Cool breeze iirc?

Loved Outrun, probably spent more on that than any other arcade machine, I always took the same route and could complete it every time. It was an expensive game to play when it first came out, was like 50p ago up Southend which was a lot compared to Pacman at 20p.

 

magical sound shower was the other song

Nothing to add really, apart from DAYTONA YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH. Also chase HQ was the tit's, it had a red turbo button on the gear lever, how cool was that!

Chase HQ

 

No mate, it was one particular car you were after, i think you could be either the bad guy or the cop, something like that, and you had high and low gears i think

 

Club GTi, no contest!

 

out run pwns have any of you played the new one witht the 4 moving two seater cars?????

 

Outrun for me. but my favorite arcade game was afterburner, i spent a fortune on that when i was a kid, well, my mam and dad did lol.

 

Chase HQ!!!

 

I loved hard drivin!!!

Defo what i'd have given the choice!!

 

Daytona...

I used to have a dreamcast or whatever it was callled and practiced more than beginner so we all played on expert or medium at the arcade...

You could actually powerslide the cars really well on the other tracks...
