retro racing games

I'm thinking of the great old skool arcade & console racing games? Pole Position and Bump N' Jump are pretty legendary.

Bump N' Jump was available on NES, it looked really good on that platform, maybe even better than the arcade.

Seriously old time.

Indy 500, based on the arcade games Gran Trak 10 and Crash N' Score.

I remember my Dad handing me a copy he got around 1986 or 1987.

Just hit the spacebar to accelerate faster in the 1/4 mile

Yeah, Indy 500 had the 360 degree paddle controllers. I loved Namco's Rally-X, I think it's one of the games featured on the Jaaks 10 games in one controller.

It was cool when you got two chasing cars to crash into each other.
