Best racers on N64?

The best racing game by far for the N64 is a little beauty called World
Driver Champion from Midway and Boss Game Studios. Nothing else even comes
close for solid driving feel.

Here's a review link

thanks - actually, that's what they said in the Nintendo group too, after some
prying  ;)

Thanks istoff.

Nah, let's FIGHT   ;-D

Oh btw, Super Mario Kart on the SNES is still one of the most entertaining
driving games you can ever have fun with  ;)

no it isn't.

i was listening to monty python's 'argument' sketch this morning, so
i'm in the mood for a fight.

(just kidding about Super Mario Kart)

For fun, my fave 8 & 16 bit racing (arcade or otherwise) are (in no
order)

1   Kikstart (C64)
2   Pitstop 2 (C64)
3   Stunt Car Racer (Amiga)
4   Trailblazer (C64)
5   Lotus (Amiga)
6   Racing Destruction Set (C64)  - I'd kill for a pc version.
7   Super Hang On (Amiga)
8   RVF Honda (Amiga)
9   Test Drive 2 (Amiga)
10 4D Stunts (Amiga)
11 Indy 500 (Amiga)

I guess I missed quite a few, but I don't really consider any of the
pc games before Indy 500 were better than the amiga or c64 versions.  

Just my opinion, of course.

Regards all,
istoff

  We have a double cd of Monty Python's greatest hits.  It was great until
the local kids listened to it...suddenly I had several 10 year olds marching
through my house and singing...
"Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me...."
  The neighborhood parents were less than pleased.  :)

actually....:-)

My friend's father confiscated my friend's MP albums because of this song...

What his father didn't realize was that he had switched out the vinyl for other
older records of his father's in anticipation...

He found out anyway. Oh well.

in true MP style, i've decided to tape the broadcast of our local
national lottery numbers show tomorrow night.

i will hide the tape.  buy a ticket next week with the winning numbers
of this week.

next week saturday, i'm going to sneak the tape into the show and
watch the lottery results with my wife.  of course, i'll pretend to be
bored while they spin the balls.

nah.  i can't.  its just too cruel... :)

Regards all,
istoff

Well, there ARE a lot of people here who play console games.  So, people still
discuss them...
