When i was little boy you could rent nes games and console both from local store. I never owned nes, but my i rented it a lot. I remember renting micro machines. It was good game with friends.

Still feels weird there was never a Mario Kart on the NES, like theres some Mandella effect reality where there was :D

This is epic! I never heard of some of these so now I have some games to look out for. Thanks for sharing🙂

Well am safe in saying i have never played any of these games on this system but thats not to say i wouldn't of liked to back in the day :-). Great video as always buddy and it's nice to see what some of these old systems can do as i was to much of a commodore fanboy before i got a PC ofc. Catch you in the next one :-)

Impressive set of titles! Terrific video, OSG.

Everyone hates it for it's difficulty but Days of Thunder is actually a very good game. Great 3-d graphics without flickering, slipstreaming other race cars to sling past them, pit stops that takes true skill to master, good music. It's very underrated.

I don’t have any racing games for my NES, so I need to get at least a couple of these. Thanks for sharing your reviews!

Great list. Found some new gems I never heard of and I loved RC Pro Am as a kid, will be getting that soon

Never had the machine but some cracking racers on that list. Nice one.

Another great video and some great looking games. I now want a NES. I went from the C64 to the SNES so now I feel I've missed out on some great games.

Micro machines was life on NES. I played the shit out of it. Cobra triangle is a little gem on this list 👌 Great video OSG 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏁

Great list, I like how you included the year of release and publisher

Perfect list, thank you!!!

Watching a lot of videos like this, you start to develop a feel for which games were popular outside the US vs among Americans. And Micro Machines is one of those franchises that comes up among British reviewers. And 9 times out of 10, looking up such a game reveals that it has British developers - sure enough, CodeMasters is from England. It's interesting how things fall geographically like that. I also notice this with games like Speedball II (English developers), Cannon Fodder (English developers), Lemmings (Scottish developers). These were the games we played when growing up here in Australia, on our PCs and our 8-bit systems like Commodores, but aren't spoken about with nostalgia by the Americans. I identify with British video game channels more as a result. I think the distinction is blurred with more modern games. Emblematic of this is that I don't think people realise that Rockstar (same people who made Lemmings) are British and their modern games look American and are probably way more popular there.

I was definitely a Super Sprint and Super Offroad kid - but I see in this list you really only have a handful of archetypes: RC Pro Am types, Super Offroad types, Pole Position types, and Excitebike stands alone. You may be able to break out the Pole Positions into shooting/no shooting, like Roadblasters or Mach Rider vs Rad Racer, for instance.

Being unfamiliar with the NES I found myself pleasantly surprised how good some of these game are from a 8-bit machine. The F1 games all looked a bit samey to me but some of the others looked great. Super Sprint looks mint and Micro Machines too, great list m8 :)

Nostalgia may be clouding my judgement as it's the only racing game I owned back in the day, but I put Galaxy 5000 as #1. Such a good combination of racing, using items, a jump mechanic, decision making (how much to repair the car).

like it again mate.i didnt know anybody who had a nes when i was growing up.looks boss tho

Got to keep the channel alive while you’re gone my friend. Hope you’re having fun!!!

Cool seeing all these racing game lists and Micro Machines just seems to be excellent on any console!

New subscriber. Great stuff sir

Nigel Mansell's World Championship graphics are outstanding for an NES. I will buy a cartridge right now!

Instead of flowers, I bought you this NES instead, lasts much longer too! Very romantic and apparently worked like a charm! Nice list BTW, haven't played many racers on the NES at all and this proves there's some catching up to do!

Formula One: Built to Win is an awesome, but underrated game. Almost no one talks about it.

#1 is absolutely right ! That game is as fun today , as upon it’s release. It does not age. AT ALL !!!! The true mark of a masterpiece.

The major difference between RC Pro Am II and the original is the ability to race two players simultaneously around a fast-moving track, which I think was pretty unique in the 8-bit world at the time

I have to put original radio racer at number 1. It has faster feeling game play, better sound, better music, better controls, and better graphics. Part 2 did have the better ending theme though. I would have to put tc pro and in 2nd followed by formula 1 1990 which seems to be a rad racer 1987 clone with a mix or rad racer 1 and 2 elements.

Rad Racer and R.C. Pro Am for the win. Wasn’t a great fan of racers but those 2 games were always good fun.

great pick's.

Good list. Also love road fighter. One of my fave racing games of alltime. Although the nes version is not so good as arcade it is plenty of fun. It is pure simplicity (never understood how they never tryed to port to other 8 bit systems like atari). It is quite unique, the opponents behavior it's defined by colors, when we collide against other cars, we have a small chance to recover control.

Turbo Racing would be No. 1 for me. great list

Never played much NES, more computer and Sega fan, anyway great video like always 👍

Ok cant lie that intro thing kinda Kneeeeeeeeeeeeeet👍😘 Great Work Dad

I'm surprised Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge wasn't on the list. I loved that game, the music was awesome too.

Although it isn't really a racing game I played Road Fighter a lot when I was younger. Absolutely mastered it, could do all tracks without getting bumped. It seems to have the same sound effects as the no. 19 game on this list.

The list of games is perfect, but the ranking, I totally disagree! good video!!

Came on here to see where rc pro am was!!! Glad 2 was so high on the list and of course 1 was gonna be number 1! Play them both all the time on my nes classic!

Love racing games, and never really knew how many really wacky games there were, but also how many good ones there were on the console. It only got better as Nintendo moved on to the SNES, but not as many and a lot more abstract racers. My go-to games were Top Gear (1&2), F-Zero, Micro Machines and Uniracers. Never really played Super Mario Kart back then.

I'd love it if you did more Nintendo lists!

I spent hours on #1. I remember as kid, going into the video rental store...first game id look for was this, if it was available I, rented it.

RC Pro Am!! Agreed 100% Racing games are what really separated the NES from my beloved c64, which really struggled in that category generally speaking- this is where the faster cpu/hardware shows its self. I remember seeing it on my neighbors NES back in the day and thinking, “Wow my c64 can’t do that”

this had to be a tough list, as i'm pretty sure NES had a ton of racing games in their library, though they do tend to get a bit generic for the most part.

World Rally Championship, Eliminator Boat Duel, Ferrari GP challenge?

There is a forgotten game called Taito Grand Prix what i have almost never seen talking about on western youtube channels. It is very similar to OutRun and you can even select different musics before racing. Give it a try if you have not played it yet.

I got it for my birthday lol and I was happy

Eliminator Boat Duel is my Favorite racing Game on Nes🙂

I never had a NES when I was a kid mainly because I was 20 when it was released. I have never played a NES racing game in my life. I have never been a fan of racing games that put your car/bike at the bottom middle of the track where you just dodge cars by moving left or right, a la pole position, as you "race" towards an infinite horizon. Interesting to see just how many racing games were made for the system though and R.C. games look pretty cool

played micromachines on gameboy color. still one of my favorite racing games of all time

NO question R.C. Pro Am! also loved rad racer i played that game to death. too bad though you can't save your best (3rd car) upgrade in pro am through a save or password as that car looks and handles the best

I played Exitebike on arcade cabinet first. Then I got NES and the game. I love that game. Especially making my own tracks.

Cobra Triangle was one of my favorites

I used to play knight rider lots on NES.

I had bill Elliott Nascar challenge. Hard af fuck when you're 5 yrs old because you have to actually pay attention to the road and the engine and tires but it was fun after a while

First time I played RC Pro Am I didn't like it. It wasn't until a couple years later when I got addicted to playing it after a friend showed me the other vehicles.

Ah man no Eliminator Boat Duel? I think it’s a very overlooked NES game. Totally agree with Rad Racer II blowing away the original. It just feels better, and the music is so dang catchy.

Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge was awesome also.

I'm still trying to find that nes top view race car game that looks like it takes place inside a shopping mall

Was never a Nintendo fan so will take your word on these i like Commodore, ATARI and SEGA will say though my neighbour had a snes and SFII was insanely jealous at the time but not enough to betray my roots.

You should do more nes (and snes) videos mate.

I'm surprised Rad Racer II was so high on the list. I probably need to give it another chance.

The cockpit games look the best.

Im looking for this..u can choose a blue truck on amd create your own levels

Mach Rider was OK, but you would think they would have used a better colour palate. It looks almost like a Spectrum game. LOL

The NES could really do the beautifully clean, chunky, cartoon look well, as shown in R.C Pro-Am clips. I have never played Rad Racer and I trust your judgement on its playability but Square, where is the music? I love Outruns memorable tunes...

Eliminator Boat Duel ?

there was a racing on motorcycle nes game when you could be out of fuel and you raced to different towns...anyome know the name of it?

Does anyone know about the name of the nes game in which small rc type car used to destroy each other,? It was fun game i dont remember its name

Mansell and Days of thunder are exactly the same games port on the game boy !!!!

True dat: in rad racer with down button you can select music

R.C. Pro-am 2 is much better than the first one. It has better graphics, 3D track, more diversity in stuff on the track, a much better upgrade system and most importantly it supports up to 4 players. R.C. Pro-am was great when it came out, but after having played the sequel, it is mediocre.

Super spy hunter is a great game.its not a racing game but it's my fav.

I would like to know your thought about the influences/inspiration that Nintendo had when designing the famicom specs. C64? Colecovision? Other(s)? None?

Road Racer 🤘🤘

I like RC Pro-Am II better than RC Pro-Am. I would rank them 1. RC Pro-Am II, 2. RC Pro-Am, 3. Micro Machines.

Yeah the Rad Racer games were awesome. The only thing that would have made them better was in-game music

Indy Heat is pretty much Super Off Road with Indycars

nes racing games ... not too many I play (or would play). Indy heat is excellent with the 4P option but off road looks terrible - why those 4 car colors??? and this version is the only one with 4P :( so sad.... the rest? will try super sprint in the hopes of 4P option 😀 thanks for the video!

F1 Race is Master System Hang On pretty much, isn't it?

you monster. how could you do this to rock n roll racing

F1 sensation is great 🤙

The best racing game on the NES to me was micro machines not fished watching the full upload before posting this comment.

I can’t imagine playing this in 2020 and liking it 😂 These games just don’t age well.

galaxy 5000, looks like it was an early version of f-zero

А музыка какая классная,у игры Nigel Mansell.

Where is Race America and Ferrari Grand Prix???

Missing blades of steel

What about Road fighters😢

sprint racer the best

Not sure why you picked f1 over 3D hot rally.

didn't rad racer have a 3D mode, where you had to wear those silly red-blue glasses?

wow, i'm early

PS5 also fail against it

nintendo wouldn't have got outrun.... its sega!!!!!!! the two were enemies lol

Stinky. NES is stinky. Master System blows it away in every regard. I very much don't think Rad Racer 2 is better than Outrun on sms. There just aren't enough colours in the NES. 3 per tile or sprite. Useless.
