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

The infamous 1976 arcade game Death Race, based on the 1975 Roger Corman directed 1975 movie Death Race 2000 starring David Carradine & Sylvester Stallone. You race around, knock over/kill pedestrians and pick up points. Parents had the game banned! But we can enjoy it now. 1976, the future has arrived! BTW there's a good modified C3 Corvette in this film.

Pole Position I remember. That was good.

I also remember another racing game for the C64, it was racing through traffic that was going both ways with a cliff on one side and a rock face on the other. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
