I'm still disapointed you didn't put Toobin' on the list, after all your praising of the game to me :D

This list is 100% spot on, dude. I can't think of a single game I'd like to add, remove, or change the position of. Love that you included Rally Speedway and Racing Destruction Set, and that high up. We played those games to death when we were teens.

My top 3 are Pitstop 2, Turbocharge and Test Drive 2, but this is a great list. I didn't get to play the full Turbocharge until the end of 2018, on the C64 mini, while my left hand was in a cast after thumb surgery, and loved it (I had only played the Commodore Format demo when I was a kid). And, the first game I played on my actual C64 (over 30 years ago), was Pitstop 2, so that game will always have a large place in my heart. Thank you for the list, awesome job!

This youtube channel is the most underrated ever IMO. Excellent video as always

The C64 conversion of LED Storm was pretty good too... oh and Burnin' Rubber was pretty decent too, at least for an early C64 racer. Rally Cross (The one from Codemasters, not Anco) was also pretty decent once you get the hang of the controls

I never had a c64. Went from spectrum to Amiga. These videos make me realize what a great machine it was and that I have some catching up to do. Some truly amazing games here.

Thanks for a great video, I haven't seen so many games I had as a kid but best of all seeing slicks high up in the list and best choice for stunt racer

I didn’t think it could be done, but you managed to do it....... 20 decent racers for the c64. Impressive.

Another awesome list here and Power Drift! So good on C64 and the Spectrum

The sounds levels are perfect now. Thanks for making me aware of some classics here I'd missed like Slicks and Rally Speedway.

Nice to see the vid back up an I can watch the rest of it. Great vid as always buddy, roll on the next one 😊

Just felt like I had to comment that I really enjoy your vids about the games of the C64. Keep it up.

Richard Petty's Talladega was pretty good. Doesn't look like much, but pretty fast, good controls and plays quite nice.

Nice video, might have to download a few of these.

Some great driving games here, thanks for making this vid! :)

Slicks for me looks awesome! And that Racing Destruction Set must be very cool. Never was a fan of "sim" racing games on 8-bit platfoms. But always loved that funny top (or cabinet) view racing arcades!

Nice ranking, i didn't Heard about some of these games. Thanks!

Buggy boy! Yes! That was the one! Loved that game. I never played that Stunt Racer but I had one similar that was going over sand dunes instead and it was in a buggy too, but I can never remember it's name. Great video 👏

Awesome video man!! Racing Destruction Set was incredible, Test Drive deserve a better place to me. Speedking was another great game. Make the Amiga top 20 racing games.

Thought you might struggle myself only to be pleasantly surprised. Nice selection. Actually turns out 20 is not enough. Had to leave out the likes of Lotus and the other Outrun titles. Eat humble pie Al Bundy or what ever your name is.

Buggy Boy, Stunt Car Racer, Powerdrift, Super Cars, Pitstop 2, Super Off Road, Turbo Outrun...aaah, happy days! This little lot were my favourite driving games, period. Top of the shop has to be Buggy Boy as I found it so bloody addictive. Nice to revisit some of these classic games though...a few I didn't know, while I'd completely forgotten about some of the others. Love your videos. Keep 'em coming. 👍👍👍

Great video! Given me a few suggestions to try. .

Brilliant mate ! You’ve got my four favourites on your list. And the absolutely best on top. I’ve put a gross amount of hours into that game , Hahahaha.

It was me that got you to play slicks. Bet your glad I did because it is a great game like you said. Another great video, you should be proud of youself

TURBO CHARGE!! Oh shhiiiit! You just unlocked a memory in my head thats been hiiden in my brain for 30 years! Loves that game!! First game il get when i get a c64 mini. Wow! Blown away...

Top Three are solid. I loved to change gravity to „moon“ for insane long jumps in the Racing destruction set back when I was young.

I am proud to say I completed Stunt Car Racer back in early to mid nineties. Took a lot of hours, dedication and memorising the exact feel of each track construction. Still have my save on the floppy disc. Incredible game, way ahead of it's time and simply cannot age. Blows my mind how did they pull such a realistic 3D before 3D even was a thing. On a Commodore 64! Very pleased you placed it into top 1, since it was the exact first thing I thought of as soon as I saw the title of your video. BadLands should have been on this list though! Also Enduro Racer!! It is a serious sin not to place Enduro Racer into this list!

When the video came up in my playlist I had few games that needed to be on this list for me...Buggy Boy, Power Drift, Pitstop 2 and of course Stunt Car Racer. For a moment I thought you may have left Stunt Car Racer off the list, but you did not let me down as always.😊 Well you certainly ticked all the boxes for me👍 I still sank too many hours in to Give my Regards to Broadstreet though😥

(no spoiler comment) Fully agree w your #1 pick! I probably played that game more than ANY other on my C64. Loads fast, tons of fun. Great list!

I think the one that was missing for me was BMX SIMULATOR. Always loved that as a kid. You should check it out if you haven't played it. Other than that - great work!

I loved this video, watched it all the way through. I have to agree, although I’m relatively new to the C64, during my midlife discovery, Stunt Car Racer is very impressive as is Grand Prix Circuit. Great work 👍🏻

I missed Outrun. One of my first c64 games. Bought it on tape, and got the soundtrack with it for free. Great list and even seen some unknown titles. I think I would have added Badlands, but that's the only one I can think of now.

Loving this channel - probably my fave UK based Retro Gaming channel. I would've included Trailblazer and Kikstart 2.

Turbo Charge was one of the last games I bought for my C64 while it was current and it was clear that Chris Butler had squeezed every bit of power from the old breadbin at that point. The game is incredibly refined and could have passed as an arcade conversion. Other C64 racing games I like: Outrun (NTSC), Outrun Europa, S.C.I, Badlands and F1GP Circuit (obscure Italian overhead racer that looks and plays a lot like Konami games such as F-1 Spirit or Road Fighter).

Super cycle looked really cool. I'm a huge Hang-on! /Super hang-on! Fan, it never even occurred to me that they'd have something like this on C64. My neighbor had a Commodore growing up but I never saw this. Now I'm going to have to check this out.

Thanks for reminding me about Rally Speedway. I played that so much as a kid.

Really good video thanks!!! I would have had continental circus on the list as an arcade conversion to 8 bit it's really impressive, controls well, fair challenge and even attempts a bit of rain thrown in...plus the comedy pit stops 😆😆

Great list and games! Good video and your commentary is spot on. Very grateful that C64 Stunt Car Racer was recently ported to A8bit. Rally Speedway is indeed great fun. Racing Destruction set is deeper and fun too but not as fast iirc nor as colorful unfortunately.

Another great video 👍

No super or championship sprint Paul? Love those... Always remember Scalextric as well, had a great intro and wasn’t that bad in 2 player mode... Some great looking games I’ll try there though👍

It could only be stunt car racer at the top of the list. Epic game. A few here I've never heard of. Gonna try them next time i fire up the c64 mini.

Wow man! There are some great hidden gems on the C64, Of course I loved Racing Destruction Set, Test Drive, Pitstop and my other favorite was Pole Position. I put many hours into that game when I was younger. I am going to check out the other ones I didn't know existed. I have had my C64 since new in the early 80's. And it still works like a champ today.

I played a lot of Pitstop 1&2, Pole Position, Great American CC Racing, Talladega (Richard Petty’s), Test Drive. I really liked 4x4 Off Road Racing. Also played a lot of LeMans when I was even younger lol. Good times!

Great list! Hot Rod looks like a really close conversion of the arcade game. Definitely need to try that! Surprised to not see Kikstart II on the list but I guess you might not call that a straightforward racing game. I'd also have considered Speed King and Formula 1 Simulator for the list I think, and the conversion of S.C.I. was decent.

ok, i'm really glad you put hot rod in there, but i would have had it higher, you did mention it, but i would have had supersprint in there, but no one can argue about stunt car racer

I have so much nostalgic love for Street Rod. 👍🏻

Nice racer was a classic for how smooth the framerate was. You should give it a look! x

I bought recently C64 and Sd card reader (SD2IEC) for it. So i will for sure play in some of those games. Anyway i think you should reconsider to do a series like : TOP 20 2 players games for .......... C64/Amiga and so on. It would be really helpfull. Great content like always.

Stunt Car Racer could easily be mistaken for the Miggy version, incredible!!!

Good list. Lotus goes near the top for me and I'd maybe add Continental Circus and Cisco Heat (joke!). You might want to check out The Cycles if you haven't already. I feel it's clearly the best motorbike sim on the C64 although very similar to Grand Prix Circuit.

I didnt think the C64 was blessed with loads of quality racing games. I loved Racing Destruction Set as you could make your own tracks and then race round them and I thought Buggy Boy was great. Stunt Car Racer was good but it could have done with being a bit faster. Incredible to think it ran at all on the C64.

Rally Speedway was SO cool when I was a kid. I spent hours just making my own tracks.

"videogames are bad because they don't reflect reality" my mother used to say when I was addicted to my C64. Now I play modern realistic games and she says: "videogames are dangerous because they look so real"

Bloody brilliant!

I love that you can tell that’s a Porsche on Test Drive

Nice compilation! (but Turbo Outrun to me wins, hands down :) PS: if you want to try something REALLY sick, run Stunt Car Racer in an emulator - then increase the speed

Ahh such nostalgia. I recall buying Stunt Car Racer on a whim. I had some birthday money to spend on a game, and I'd not even heard of this game before, just saw it in the shops and purchased it. C64 gaming could be a lottery and it was risky to just buy from the packaging alone. But I took the risk and was rewarded with the most amazing game that pushed the C64 to it's limits, delivering playability and graphics that could only be dreamed of on the system. Later when I upgraded to Amiga I had countless hours of fun with STR on that system too. I would have I included Outrun on the list - it was better than many gave it credit for, was fast and playable. The major disappointment for me was the lack of forks in the road, which was one of the most fun parts of the arcade game, being able to choose your route. I remember being so disappointed that the C64 version simply did not have them for whatever reason. It was much better than the lame Amiga attempt though!

I know no.13 under the name ‘Ironman’s Speed Shop’. Fun game!

Speedking was my personal favorite, a MotoGP game. Although Stunt Car Racer and Kickstart 2 were also fun.

Remember the Cross country road race loved Turbo Outrun the music was awesome and Power drift brilliant it was and Buggy Boy great fun

I love racing games in general, and on C64 as well. Read about Rally Speedway few years ago, and I immediately recognized Micro Machines concept (and that is one of my favorites). RS is amazing, having 2 player simultaneous play + track construction kit! Graphics is not essential, but then again - I wonder if this little game can be nice for modding, changing the graphics to some cool and varied char tiles? Nobody tried, but it might happen in the future. And it sure may be used as a mold (game engine) for some new games written from scratch! This IS MMachines for C64 (dual play!) I love futuristic racing, and one interesting game is FURY done by Martech! Has cool music and aura in the intro control screens, and racing seems basic and simple, but is about weapons and equipment, and money collected by racing... usual tropes in extreme racers that came IN THE NEXT DECADE! Important game, but not accepted well. Check it. Pit Stop 2 is awesome, best for me. Power Drift made my jaw drop when I played it first time. And Super Cycle looks incredible, but probably needed some good tweaking in gameplay area - some part II would've made it the greatest, but it never happened. Game engine is fabulous, so smooth, nice looking and fast! I don't dare asking for 2-player option, that would be out of this 8-bit world.

Really good, Stunt Car Racer had to be first; but what about Mastertronic’s Night Racer - thought it was really quite good 👍

thank you so much

Thank God Stunt Car Racer is No 1, it’s my favourite most played C64 game of all time 👍🏻. Would’ve personally put Power Drift at No 2 however lol.

To be honest, I don't think Chris Butler really made a bad game on the C64. He was pretty much to the C64 what Joffa Smith was to the Speccy.

No super sprint? Loved that game! Good choice for number 1

Ivan Stewart is so fun in the arcade!

No love for Championship Sprint or BMX Simulator? Championship Sprint had a track editor too which blew my mind back in the day.

"Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road" is very similar looking to "Skidmarks" on the Amiga

There it is👍😁

Never owned power drift but always hammered it at my mates house till his brother got home. Cant believe lotus turbo challenge isn't on the list

I think Speed King should have made the list rather than Super Cycle. I played a lot of Super Cycle back in the day and enjoyed it at the time, but the way it throws you violently to the sides on every corner is so frustrating. And the only way to tell what corner was coming up was the centre line having one pixel switch sides as it mirrored the graphics was annoying. Apart from that, a great list!

Pitstop 2 : THE GAME

Slicks !!!

Scalextric was good. Like pitstop ii but you could design your own tracks.

Street Rod, starring RedLetterMedia's Rich Evans.

I was a 464 head when I was younger but fair play and a tipped hat to the 64 because these games are really good👍but where's Bumpin Buggies 😁

Is Kikstart II not considered a racing game? I know its not a traditional one but you are racing & its better than all these 20 combined. Great vid tho

There are so many 2D top down racers in this list. I do think Larry Bundy Jr was thinking about 3D racers when he asked Old Style Gaming to make this video (list). Would Chase HQ and Wec Le Mans make it to that list?

Revs is very good and stay up in this list not only number 15...

Code masters super rally cross was great fun

Imagine if the Super Cycle team had handled the Sega arcade racer ports....

I used to enjoy Night racer from master tronic - I think it was a £2.99? Budget game but it was not bad at all.

Powedrift wirh the old guy in the cart Pitstop 2; plaed alot with my brother

Speed King!

You completely forgot about "Led Storm" One of the best.

The great american cross country road race was amazing, super cycle was amazing, racing destruction you could build your own track and pick your own cars too. Grand prix circuit was amazing it should have been higher, the day i got buggy boy i played it for 8 hours straight. pitstop was great where you had to change your own tyre's etc. great list, just dont fully agree with no 1

Only one I miss is Super Sprint.

Out of the 7 games, only 3 attempted to draw hills. Now, it certainly IS a problem sinc the coder has to pick chars out of the charset to produce hill but for some reason, I thought more had attempted it. I was actually offered a job in London to convert Trans--am to the NES and I intended to produce hills in the same manner as the few examples above but then I got an interview with Core Design and stayed there. The people in London were really pissed off because even though no contract or even handshake had taken place, they had PRESUMED I would work for them and had got money out of the publishers because they claimed to have a 'top notch C64 coder on the job'. I'm NOT tip top and I did not like their attitude or working in London..... So I wrote Thunderhawk instead.

wasn't especially great but used to spend hours on talladega. Proper rage inducer when the muppet ai orange demon car glances a pixel near you and makes you explode 27 laps into a 30 lap race

To have test drive 2 at 20th place is testiment to just how good the c=64 racers were. On a separate note, to have over 7,000 views within a month of releasing this video is testament to just how suprisingly popular the c=64 still is. Lastly to use the word testament twice in a 3 sentence post is testament to how much I love the word and testament to how much I try to sound smart 🤭

There was also Formula 1 Simulator by Mastertronic, a very forgettable no frills racing game with below average graphics not a great deal better than Pole Position on the Atari 2600, but it was arguably still worth £1.99 because of the awesome Rob Hubbard soundtrack.

Kickstart2??!!! Stuntcar racer was Geoff Crammond too.

Stunt car racer was smooth. But didn't it lack gameplay??

Turbo charge reminds me of the driving sections from Vendetta. That's a game I'd like to play again, can anyone point me in the direction of a good emulator/roms?

revs only 17 on the list that's made me sad and disappointed, revs was my fav especially after i won on professional level, though i only managed it the once, , but respect on the other top games racing destruction set and Stunt car racer.......just my opinion but RDS for me certainly deserves some kind of remaster or sequel because there is nothing like that now.......somebodies definately missed a trick here.....thx 4 the memories anyway despite placing revs so low......btw both revs and stunt car racer ..were created by the same programmer, the ledge Geoff Crammond

Try Speed King

No Shirley Muldowney Top Fuel Dragster???

Are there more people whom loaded Turbo Outrun just to listen to the awesome intromusic?

What no Derby Dash? This list is all wrong! 😁😁 You did hit the nail on the head by saying sometimes it's the game play and not the graphics, (no not Derby dash) supersprint on the old speccy was awesome especially in multiplayer 👍
