Nice Video!!! The best on this subject there is on youtube ! I would love to see part 2. I hope you'll find time to finish it someday.
Wow, I actually played some of them when I was a kid. You made me feel old. :D
Looking forward to the 90's part. Great stuff.
Awesome video. Thanks for the awesome visuals too!!
Wow dude, just wow! You kicked some big "gaming history" channels ass quite nicely here! The amount of research and footage is truly amazing, subbed without a doubt and waiting for more great content, specially the rise of the modern racing sims! I can still remember my mind blown as a child the first time i played Hang On, my body weight almost wasnt enough to bank the bike to the sides, lol but that impression never left my mind and is a big reason why im a racing simmer today, my first Tommy Racing and when my dad bought Super Monaco GP which we spent days in front of the TV contributed too. Cheers dude, cheers!
+Caio Branco Thanks dude! Funnily enough after I finished this video I decided to play through Super Monaco GP! I think I spent HUNDREDS of hours playing it as a kid!
@@LetsTestDrive What about the Racing 112?
Great work dude. Really enjoyed it. I love outrun, chase hq (I just replayed yesterday) and daytona usa for the classics. I think this games still be enjoyable even in the next 20 years!
Another AMAZING video! Keep up the awesome work!
+Theo Philpot Thanks man!
Great job Rob!! Brings back memories. I'm old enough to remember some of the 70's arcade racers tho' I wasn't old enough to play them. Revs on the BBC Model B was my first racing sim back in the mid-80's and I loved anything by Geoff Crammond. I was a big F1 fan in the 80's/90's and played Microprose Grand Prix on the Amiga to death (with a joystick!!) in the early 90's at Uni.. Looking forward to Part 2. Suggestion for a future vid: Geoff Crammond Special :-)
+RTR - Banger Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it! I really need to play REVS and some of these other classics. Think it's time to try some emulators!
Great video, where's part 2?
Good job! Hope to see more amazing content in the future!!
+Chase Brewer Thanks mate!
I would like to point out a couple of games from the 70s that I think were overlooked like Le Mans, or F1, superbug and fire truck other then that great video!
Great recap - a lot of games I didn't even know existed.
OMG why don't you have more views? awesome video dude
+Thiago Gouvea Thanks dude!
Great vid bought back some great memories 😎
Great video. all of these games on this list were before my time, the earliest racing game I played was SEGA Daytona, which would probably make an appearance in part 2
Great vid
I remember playing Hard Drivin' at my cousins house has a kid. That game was seriously hard!
You forgot to mention the most important earliest 3D arcade car racing games, that is to say "Nürburgring" of 1975 by Rainer Foerst, and the first true 3D modelled vector game "Speed Freak" of 1979 by Vectorbeam (which used this technique even before Atari made "Battle Zone").
I remember Out Run being in so called "lunaparks" here in Belgium when I was a kid. Hell yes those graphics at the time rocked! I think it was also the first time I saw elevation difference i such games. It was so addictive. :)
Awesome video man!
+Sun Levi Thanks dude!
Thank-you that was very interesting
The sit-down arcade cabinet of "Turbo" was my favorite in the early 80s.
Alright I'm here dude I am a new subscriber keep it up.....
I played game's only for the 80's starting out then next thing you know moving up in the world
Speed Race (around 1977) was quite something. There was a digital score board for the best five on the left hand side of the machine. I always find it hard not to crash while driving on gravel (momentarily and real slippery)
WE NEED PART 2!!!!
His phone broke.
omg you uploaded a video!!!
+Rubens exotics Trying to decide what to make videos on is the hardest part :P
OutRun and Hang-On were what I grew up playing in Arcades and on my SEGA Master System. You forgot to mention "Enduro Racer".
Some of the games on this list are ones that I never got to experience in my childhood.
Where can I access the part two?
Also where has your iRacing review gone?
Great stuff man!
I still am looking for one particular game... must be early 90ies or late 80ies and had spectecular fil like graphics... butbthe most iconic thing was: you actually had to fight against armed bikers and one of the bikers would attack you with an axe and the axe would remain stuck in your cars engine hood! Epic and totally mad max...
The Coleco Telstar Arcade (1978?) had a race game with a shift knob and steering wheel.
3:05 - Considering the serious step backwards in graphics from The Fonz to Night Driver: How did the Fonz *_work??_* They must have been using analogue tricks for the smooth curving road. Also, the enemy sprites curve _with the road,_ so there is clearly some dirty improvisation going on here. Also, no MAME emulation for this one yet. Please go into more detail on this.
Played the shit out of hard drivin on the SNES. Is part 2 coming soon?
I did start planning part 2, but this video doesn't seem to be getting many views as people probably aren't searching for "history of racing video games" and it's not being recommended by youtube so I will put it on hold for now. This video took a huge amount of time to create, and as fun as it was to make it may not be worth my time making part 2 if not many people get to watch it :(
The first racing arcade game I remember (and not mentioned in this video) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-1_(arcade_game)
There's a video on YT showing the gameplay and also how the mechanical bits worked behind the screen.
Oh, and a note for Hard Drivin' - it's the first sim I can remember that attempted to simulate a real manual gearbox including a pedal for clutch disengagement and mis-shifts.
Damn..... That's My Super Monaco Deluxe @12:50 lol Nice.... (Approved)
haha thanks! Your showcase video was great, and it was the best I could find on the super monaco cabinet!
damn, .20 cents for video game, never seen that before
Pace Car Pro, the predecessor to iPacing. Who knew!?
Also, RoadBlasters ftw.
OMG i had one of them Tomy turbo dashboards lol!!!!I think it was white though, i didnt play it much as it sucked batteries for fun!!!!!
pro trick: you can watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Steven Samuel yup, I've been using flixzone for years myself :)
Do you have part 2?
Great vid, love the thourough examination of the genre... But oh my god that horribly repetative royalty free crap in the background will haunt my gaming nightmares!
Taito Grand Prix?, a hidden game that included a complex "Carrer mode"
What About New Rally X & Buggy Boy/Buggy Boy Jr ?
¿Y el Super Speedy Race de Taito? Ese sí es un clásico

Pretty cool Video, but slow it down. The infos are very intresting but you going way too fast.
Finally someone with sense! I think he did it thru his phone. Phone only people tend to do things on speed and to them it's 'normal'.
Wait, where's Namco's F1 Race(1976)? Which had a honoured cameo in George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead.
Where is part two, Chuck?
Where's part 2?
No Street Rod?????
Where is Taito´s Super Speed Race series?
not mentioning f1 spirit and a1 spirit on msx?
I have a wind up Tommy space ship jumping game
where is part 2?
Very interesting little doc! I would edit it to mention a few important ones:
* the various mechanical racing games from the late 50s through the late 60s
* Sprint 8 by Atari!!! Very early color game (1976!), for 8(!) players. You can’t leave this out!
* Pitstop II from Epyx, which came out in 1984 was the first(?) split screen competitive racing game
* I didn’t see Spy Hunter mentioned - while not racing per se, it was a HUGE driving game hit
Also, the docu is confused about what the first 3-D or first person racing game was. At one point it says Night Driver, then Turbo, but I think Fonz should get the honor - unless you count the mechanical Grand Prix by Sega from 1969, check it out!

My Dad Had A Record Of A Old Car game In 10 Years.
You forgot part 2. Oops!
No mention of Daytona USA? :(
Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooling Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart! :) There happy? Where's part 2 did you ever find it?
No Spy Hunter?
It wasn't truly a racing game but I thought it deserved a nod of recognition. It was pretty innovative and definitely compelling!
@@PCBSLC No San Francisco Rush? California Speed?
aww too bad Stunts is from 1990 haha. that's the oldest game I enjoyed playing as a '93 kid
where's part two
Forgot daytona usa
It's funny how some of these racing games like "hang on" and "pole position" have road signs with Marlboro ads. 8:56 This would never happen by today's standards.
kickstart was not a road racing bike game, it was a side scrolling motocross game based on a tv series, and spawned a sequel kickstart II, ua-cam.com/video/AP4yJDGHZBc/v-deo.html i should know i played them both.....some classics here for me were gran trak 10, , revs, and indianapolis 500.., kickstart even had the same theme music...ua-cam.com/video/zObFwxq8LB4/v-deo.html
"Kickstart" was a third person motorbike racing game released by Taito in 1984. You're referring to a series released after 1985 titled "Kikstart", which is a completely different game.
the model at Fonz was a hot chick!
Good video but music does not evolve.
no enduro racer
Its not see-gah, its say-gah. Have you ever played Sonic 2? It says the proper title when you turn it on.
Where's initial d
california cruising
i wanted to watch this but the un-needed music was too much to overcome...
Are you Japanese?
I'm looking for the similar arcade game of atari enduro.
would you help me ?
***** Thank you for your attention to this case. I "ve been waiting for !
Do you have any more information? What color was the road and sky?
LetsTestDrive I Play this game in a pack MAME 1000 games for PC.
The sky and road change the colors in few moments: normal, clear, ice, black sky. It seems the Enduro Atari 2600 so much.
But with other name.
What year did you play the MAME 1000 games pack? I'll also pin this post just incase anyone can help.
Is it by any chance "Driving Force"? It has day, night, ice and looks similar to Enduro and was released the following year in Arcades. ua-cam.com/video/4jHB32dR7JU/v-deo.html
Seg-ga not See-ga. Toe-mee, not Tommy. Also, it's OK to take a breath once in a while. It sounds like your entire video is one long sentence.
Say-ga
Seega.
Nintendon't.
This is great material. I had to stop watching because i'm autistic. The repetitive music that is in the background for you is in the foreground for me. In the future, it would be great for autistics if you could have music leading into the talking part, but no music at all while you talk. All good wishes.
Same here. I down vote videos like this. It's a phone thing people like to do. They think stitching things together on their phone somehow makes them a creative genius. They are taught in Liberal collages and Universities they are special 'snowflakes' so they think they are.
