What racing games would you say were the great games prior to Gran Turismo? Pole Position and Bump N' Jump are pretty legendary.:D

    Pole Position is probably the the top one if you are going that old. I'd completely forgotten about bump n' jump until I saw that screen shot. But there are plenty of great racing games between atari and Playstation. So I'd say Outrun is one of the greatest and probably longest lived racing series.

    There was a very nice 1988 port of Bump & Jump for NES that looked better than even the arcade version.

    Roadblasters for NES!:bandit:

    Road Rash and Test Drive 2 on the Mega Drive/Genesis were probably my favorites. The Lotus Turbo Challenge series on the Amiga and the port of Road Rash was pretty decent too.

    The graphics needed imagination, but Activision's Enduro was a classic for gameplay.
