I like the Road Rash games on Genesis a lot.

    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.

    Road Rash is still one of my favorites! I plan to play through the PSX version at some point since I only ever got the chance to play the Genesis ones as a kid.

      Excite bike

      We had endless hours of fun back in the day using the track builder and figuring out the exact spacing and combination of ramps to make your little dude crash out in a manner that flung his tumbling corpse the absolute maximum amount of distance. (Okay, so you never really die in Excitebike, but you know.) You can achieve significant hang time if you do it right.

      Random unsolicited video game trivia: First run editions of Excitebike were actually Japanese Famicom cartridges bodged into Famicom-to-NES cartridge converters. They’re literally Japanese copies of the game, verbatim. This includes the theoretical ability to save out your track to the Famicom Data Recorder, which has only the minor wrinkle of never having been released in the US. This was baffling to us at the time, not understanding why the option was there when it self-evidently didn’t work (but your Zelda cartridge could save just fine).

      Somehow my dad figured this out using the early Internet or Usenet or something, and then I had the actual answer. Still not actually being able to save, mind you, but at least I knew why you couldn’t. Except nobody in the schoolyard would believe me.

    Is Burnout old enough to be considered retro? 🤔

    Because otherwise I, too, would have to say Road Rash.

    Not much of a fan of racing, which is why my picks are what they are; Burnout has the awesome crash mode, and Road Rash is basically just a beat 'em up on wheels.

    Although, I also really like Wipeout.

    Gran Tourismo 2 and 4, Ridge Racer Type 4, Burnout 3 Takedown and NFSU2/MW. I like a lot of racing games but these are my favorite retro ones.
