Kawasaki Super Bike is pretty fun.
Tracks are in full 3D I think. Like the track is a series of 3D planes with some basic objects like tunnels and stands made out of polygons.

At least I think the track is 3D. It could be using that 2D style that Outrun and other racers do.

Rad Racer

>>4055209
How does this compare to the arcade version?

>>4055236
This, it's like Outrun for NES and plays very smoothly. Too many arcade racers on consoles run choppy because they wanted to do stuff the hardware couldn't pull off all that well.

>>4055151
San Francisco Rush 2049 for DC is pretty fun.

>>4055262
It has a much better hill curvature than any OutRun version too! Especially Rad Racer 2. OutRun SMS is a joke in comparison.

the cruis'n series was pretty good

so was virtua racing, was more of an amped-up race/hard drivin'.

Initial D
Rush N64

>>4055151
sidebyside 2000 on ps1, a jap only realise port of the fantastic first game in the battle gear racing series.

>>4055151
Outrun 2019 is fan fucking tastic.

>>4055714
thats one of the games that requires a NeGcon for analog control, so make sure to emulate that controller or own one or you'll be stuck with dpad to drive with.

>>4055721
Can you use analog sticks if you have a dualshock?

>>4057042
>DualShock
Nope

However you could use pic related if you're too pussy to handle the Rolls-Royce of racing controllers.

>>4057221
thats because that controller can emulate the NeGcon.

>>4057042
NeGcon predates dualshock, hence there being games that support one and not the other.

>>4057228
Thanks captain obvious!

Why the feck did you suppose I posted it?

>>4057317
because you left it out of your post?
all you did was post the dual impact controller without describing what it does that makes it different from the dual shock.

>>4057381
I thought given the context it would be clear but whatever.

In any case playing a NeGcon compatible game on anything but a NeGcon would be a massive mistake if you wish to be competitive.

N64:
cruis'n'usa - you can drive a schoolbus, arcade hit

san francisco rush - you can drive a beetle, the tracks are full of shortcuts

wave race 64 - chill and relax

3DO:

The need for speed - start of the franchise

road rash 3do - best road rash

I remember having lots of fun with these

YAAAH YAAAH YAAAH YAAAH YAAAH

I use the UltraRacer, it's okay and NeGcon compatible

>>4055151

>>4055151
But that's not a racing game, it's a driving game

>>4059416
I came here to post this.

>>4055236
This, top notch for me

>>4055151
Chase H.Q. is an awesome game for multiple systems. My favourite versions are the SNES and ZX Spectrum versions.

>>4055160
The music is excellent on that game.

>>4055151
Mr Do! on SNES

Tofu delivery games by CAVE company are pretty good.

>>4055151
if you want stuff similar to Outrun, try:
>Outrun 2019 (Genesis -- got poor reviews in some places for shitty, trash reasons, only thing actually wrong with it is the awfully drab color palette, would be nice if someone made a palette hack for it; music's cool, there's track secrets and hidden paths and shit)
>Super Hang-On (Genesis version's eh because it runs slower even in NTSC regions but has a cool home mode, Wii and 3DS versions should be perfect, I've played the 3DS one the most)
>Gale Racer (Saturn, kind of naff port of Rad Mobile with ugly polygon cars replacing the arcade's sprites and a lower framerate, but the game's still cool)
>Rad Racer (NES -- it's actually pretty damn good)

if you just want good arcade racing stuff in general
>Sega Rally (Saturn, PS2 -- PS2 version is nearly perfect, but IIRC the graphics are a tad worse than arcade, Saturn version is excellent too)
>Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer Revolution also Rage Racer and Ridge Racer Type 4 (all on PS1, use a neGcon or a pre-DualShock racing wheel if you want analog control, Type 4 can use the cheap but ultimately useless otherwise JogCon but it also supports the dualshock so fuck that)
>Daytona USA (Saturn original release or Japanese CE, Dreamcast version has iffy, sensitive handling and US CCE botches the handling wildly)
>Virtua Racing (Genesis version is okay and dirt cheap if you aren't just emulating, but the 32X version is still the best other than the actual arcade release since Saturn and PS2 fuck up handling wildly (especially the PS2 one), get the JP 32X version since it saves best times and shit)

The scenery is some weird stretched polygon rendering system (no rotations, it molds itself to the outline of the track), and the road drawing is a fairly standard linescroller like in Outrun. Nifty stuff, and a great game.

Configure it to run in Turbo mode in the setup for a framerate that's actually fairly decent instead of just merely playable.
