Cool List! Rad Racer was always my favorite...your opponents cars on each track were modeled after real world sports cars of that era, and a couple of the tracks were were based on real world circuits. the radio music composed by Nobu Uematsu was great, and there was a mode for wearing 3d glasses....which didn't really work very well. ExiteBike was so cool, I wish more race games let you design and play your own course, that was an amazing feature. Michael Andretti's World GP was also cool for having all real world circuits, race cars, and ofc the likeness of Mikey himself. Sadly, there's another good one I don't think we ever got in the U.S. and only on Japanese Famicom, and that's Chase H.Q. where you play as a police interceptor (a Porsche 928) chasing other real life sports cars, and booking the bad guys on screen after you catch them. It's really worth a look at! 😁

That is really cool to hear about the cars being modeled after real sports cars depending on the track you were racing. Sounds like Rad Racer had a lot of realistic details for the time with the tracks and cars. The radio music is an excellent touch to that game, and the 3D mode is something that was at least... interesting if you wanted to try it out haha. Excitebike's design feature was so awesome for the time, I didn't like the overheating mechanic though. Andretti's World GP is another one like you said that was pretty realistic for the time. Ahhhhh Chase HQ! I did a video on that but for the Sega Master System! It's a really cool concept of chasing the bad guys and banging into them until they breakdown. Awesome comment, I can tell you know your racing games! Thanks for watching.

My favorite racing game on the nes is eliminator boat duel which is a underrated classic but my favorite on this list is road blasters. It's a fairly cheap pickup and overall just a simple and great game. Rc pro am is also a absolute classic.

Oh baby! Excite Bike was my JAM! I didn't own it, but my best friend did! I loved playing it at his house! I never tried Mach Rider, but it looks good. I don't think I ever saw this one back in the day. I only played Rad Racer once or twice. Can't remember where though. Definitely wasn't a close friend. I didn't play RC Pro, Cobra, nor Knight rider, but they look cool. I didn't play Road Blasters either, but it looks very similar to something I did play... hmm.. can't remember the name though. I'd never heard of Al Unser's Turbo Racing, huh. Smbitious though. Super Off Road was one I played at my cousins' house. They always kicked my butt, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I think I played the Michael Angretti one at my Scout Leader's house once. Very cool list. Takes me back, even though racing games were never a big focus for me.

Excitebike was fun but man I didn't care for that overheating feature! Mach Rider looks really challenging, it's one I discovered making this video. Rad Racer sounds RAD. I played a little bit of RC Pro AM and Cobra as a kid, but not Knight Rider. Road Blasters looks super dope, I love the combat feature. Haha cousins are good for being competitive.

The Bill Elliott Nascar game is probably the best i have played on NES. It has adjustability of gear ratio down force & maybe shock stiffness you can drive it manual & the drivability is actually not to bad compared to other games. Only downfall is there are only 4 tracks all up 2 speedways & 2 circuits.

A lot of games here that are nostalgic for me. Excitebike I always loved, as well as RC Pro-Am. Knight Rider...ugh I hated that game lmao! My brother had it and we both knew it was a crappy game.

Cool topic idea for the NES!

Excitebike and Rad Racer are both ok, but i never played them as a child. For me the first place is RC Pro am. I like the controlls and except for the fact, that the orange racer gets hyperspeed and later on all the others, too, which makes it unfair after the first playthrough, it is a challenging, but fair game. Unfortunately RC Pro am 2 sucks because of the other perspective and some other flaws. Knight Rider also wakes up childhood memories, but it is still a good racer even without my rose-colored glasses i guess. Cobra Triangle woke my interests. It looks quite fun. I need to try it out. And for sure Micro Machines 1 and eliminator boat duel are great examples for your next video and worth looking at. Thx for the video. I like this sort of NES Throwbacks /overviews related to a special genre.
@TigerChainsawVideoGames 5 ай бұрын
Excitebike is fun with the custom tracks, but I hated that overheat feature. Rad Racer seems like a fan-favorite to viewers. RC Pro Am is one that I think would be difficult to master but it'd be fun to play. I never knew about the orange racer getting the hyperspeed first! Knight Rider is one that I've heard people either think that the game stinks or is a hidden gem. Cobra Triangle is a challenging game but it has a lot of cool elements to it with the racing, combat and boss battles. I will for sure be doing part 2 to this video and include some of the awesome race titles you suggested. Thanks for the comment and for watching, you've come to the right channel for NES overviews haha.
