Growing up I was exposed to a number of the car racing game greats that came out of the arcade.
These great games were easy to slot a 20p into them and just get on with playing as you didn't really need to understand complex controls or an in game upgrade system.
They are just classic arcade games that made racing so much fun.
Some were pure racing others were a mix of racing and combat.
I've recently started listening to the cool Retrogaming Podcast called the Retro Asylum....
You may have heard of it as the dudes who present the podcast really know their stuff.
Whilst listening on my way home on Friday I was given a really awesome tip that i'd never heard before and i'm really surprised that I didn't already know this.
When I was a young inexperienced gamer in the mid 80's to early 90's graphics were one of the first things that I looked for in a game.
Maybe that's a superficial mindset but you have to remember that I was only 8 years old and having been brought up on Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Atari visuals that were hit n miss in terms of quality, any advancement in graphics were always met with an open mouthed disbelief as I witnessed either the latest hardware blowing my mind or maybe an example of someone being ultra clever and resourceful with the current hardware of the time.
