The best 16bit racing games?

Formula 1 Grand Prix by Geoff Crammond on the Amiga felt as realistic as it got in early 90's, not sure how it has aged but great memories of it.

Stunt Car Racer by the aforementioned Geoff Crammond was my favourite 16 bit car game (racer might be pushing it with only one opponent). It was a work of art on 8 bit too.

True, it possibly shouldn't have worked on 8 bit machines but played it on the C64 at the time and was great game, tried to play it again recently and didn't realise how difficult it was!

on the nigel mansells game above ,i have the snes version and its a lot different more like super monaco gp than what is above. still an ok game but i thinkid prefer the md version

super mario kart all day long.

I assume there's at least one good 16bit port of OutRun.

Another for Micro Machines 2. Spent so much renting it from Xtra vision that we would have been better off buying the game

Love that game, I remember playing it in a few different arcades. Still enjoy the odd blast of it these days through MAME.

Was the PC Engine port of Outrun up to much?

In terms of the thread itself, did Chase HQ ever get a near arcade console port? I know there was a few ports to various Micros, and maybe 8bit...but 16bit ports aren't springing to mind.

Lotus and Buggy Boy on the Amiga, Top Gear, Rock n Roll Racing, Mario Kart and F-Zero on the Snes, Road Rash and Super Hang On on the Megadrive are all superb games.

Pc engine version was bad, Saturn and ps2 where pretty good IIRC ps2 was perfect

True, in both the case of Outrun and the Japanese only port of Chase HQ… (I found PC Engine versions of both to be fairly poor).

… the universe is a strange place. After I posted this I saw a slightly rough albeit cheap, practically give away jamma cab for sale nearby on Adverts. With a fully working driving game. Later on the seller put up a picture of the game…Some of you who follow Adverts probably saw it.

And here it is in my kids playroom until I find a better home for it somewhere. Admittedly in rather less portable format than the evercade exp version I was about to order

I can’t believe that.

You think that'll be it then? Cabs like you to spend time on them, lots of time....soon you'll be wondering about upgrading the controls, servicing the chassis, replacing the power supply with a modern one, replacing the speaker, fixing this, fixing that....and then the big one, hmm, what other games could I run on this thing....

Before you know it you're old, broke, and you've got three cabs smiling at you while you're wondering where to fit the fourth one (because obviously an odd number is just wrong...)

99 euro… owes me nothing. Maybe a small tidy just to make it not stand out in the room and listen to fewer complaints

… you know me… restraint, fiscal responsibility, impulse control, none of these are things that I am well known for.

Slippery slope. Maybe I tidy up the edging on it and follow O1s1n's advice.

It seems only right that you test the player 2 controls. 😁

A Neo Geo 1 slot board would work great in that cabinet, could then start hoarding collecting MVS carts.

The J-Carts were an amazing idea. You could even get up to 8 player games going in Micro Machines with two people sharing each control pad.

Only down size to them was the ability to freeze the game if someone got a bit too boisterous with a controller hooked up to the cartridge 😁
