This is a hard one, since PS1 and N64 access isn't super doable for all of us. Maybe we could just do that one minigame from Chrono Trigger.

u just fkin w/ me or did u intentionally change my suggestion from "driving games" to "racing games" after i made the big todo about how they're different? obv either category is viable here but i was hoping to play a driving game with car-type physics, try to take a deeper look into how that is distinguished both in mechanics and level design from a platformer. e.g. Rush, F-Zero, Rock N Roll Racing (though personally i would not vote for that one), Beetles Big Adventure, Outrun. What is a real game that plays like ? The only NES racer I know is RC Pro Am, which is the shitty isometric perspective.

Oop. Post edited!

As for the tank control driving games, the one I always think of is . And I think is a thing. Might have to spend some time looking over this list: http://www.allgame.com/style.php?id=154 ... =title_ASC

Additionally, games like Outrun and F-Zero handle differently enough that I think it might also be worth considering other vehicles used in racing games.

did u even look at the clip of Rally King i posted? the point was that RC Pro Am is the *wrong* type of racing game, i wasn't looking for more like that, i was looking for the historical basis (outside of shooters like Spy Hunter) for vertical scrolling driving games.
