@seriousbe played the hell out of this game and even played it on dial up modem against my cousin other side of my city. Spent a lot of time causing the biggest crashes possible and laughing at the carnage :)
For fans of racing and Nascar, here is the evolution of Nascar games since 1984. What is your favorite game? If you know of other Nascar games not on this list, please list them in comments.
Remember my brother and I had a blast on Nascar thunder 2003 back when we were super young, spent years playing that. Really what got us into Nascar and racing games as a whole
The Papyrus series is clearly ahead (imho of course) even today. But there are also kids who like to play arcade games and want fast action without wanting to know anything about driving physics, fuel consumption, etc. and prefer to see the whole car. I've never been interested in that. I need simulation feat. cockpit view 😉 So NR2003 is also the last really usable Nascar which I still play a lot today.
For some reason I cannot watch a nascar race for longer than 5 minutes without falling asleep but I love me some realistic nascar games and the tactics involved
It’s because you aren’t engaged like in the game in the game you have to constantly be on your toes “Ok I’m going to draft behind 25 slingshot into behind 29 take the inside turn go outside behind 37 cut back inside behind 94 take a 3 wide turn from the inside potential crash happens and pit with the caution” you try to execute the plan oh but you didn’t count on 49 clipping your bumper DNF better luck next race 🤷♂️
13 minutes of pure enjoyment. What I value most in a racing experience is the amount of cars in the race. As a kid I played the Papyrus NASCAR PCs games more than I can remember. I would create the drivers and paint every single car. NASCAR Rumble is a great idea and a lot of fun but the downside is only 6 cars max per race. Imagine that game with a 16+ car count per race with "mayhem" level power ups. Dirt to Daytona is great with 43 cars per race but as a short track racer I only race Bristol or Martinsville. There is '06 Team Control which has the two fantasy tracks UPS Speedway and Dodge Stadium but the game play feels stale and the computer cars have almost no character. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville and Saturday Night Speedway for the PS2 do it for me. 2 player action with 16 cars and the opponents have personality and make mistakes. My thoughts at the moment.... thanks the video was great. edit... there are also a few great Dirt Track PC games also. Dirt Track racing 1 and 2 and World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. I have probably spent weeks of my lifetime playing those as well as Saturday Night Speedway. I prefer asphalt racing over dirt however the dirt games are action packed in comparison and you never know what to expect each race. Sometimes the opponents are too aggressive or just loose control and wreck half of the field, cars are rolling and bouncing everywhere and you try your best to make it through the accident. I am yet to play a NASCAR racing game that gets everything right. Either there are not enough cars, the controls are too stiff, opponents are mindless NPCs, lack of short tracks. There is one for the PS2 called SHORT TRACK RACING: TRADING PAINT which is a mess but worth trying except even on the hardest difficulty is too easy. Destruction Derby 1 and 2 are great but VERY FRUSTRATING at times and also very rewarding, constantly tugging on your emotions at both ends. Enough typing, time to go play a racing game...🏁🏁🏁
Destruction Derby.. oh man, how i tried so hard to get that game to run on my ancient i386SX running @ 25000000hz (25 mhz or 0.025ghz) with the 'turbo' on. (which was a switch between 10, and 25 for "old games") 😂 NR1 suprisingly did run on it, on 10fps (which was still playable from what i remember) with a field of view to a minimum (which was the amount of cars rendered in front of you at a time, not the degree of visibilty around you what it is today (set it to low, and you will lose the sense for speed.. set it to high and every corner comes hurling at you insanely fast..) so.. well, 1..) and a resolution of 320x240... When we finally got a Pentium 133, the magic of 640x480 (SVGA) was a very big improvement.
Some of them graphics had no right to be that clean in the early days😮 Also, this devolved into "I keep fucking up in all the NASCAR games" towards the end😂
@@jbadger1458 probably not.. that NR2003 its core was picked up after its source code became open source, and is developed in what is now iRacing today, is just insane, but says alot about NR2003. just plain Awesomeness.
I think 2022 World of Outlaws deserved a spot, in place of Wreckfest. The latter is mostly destruction derby, while Outlaws features stock cars + late models, and is a series where a lot of Nascar drivers start out. Plus its one of the best, most realistic racing games in years. Very tough AI from iRacing.
Shame they went with exclusive licensing deals after the early 2000's, sports games in general went this route and the drop in quality with no competition is quite apparent.
I remember when I was Young I would watch Compilations of one of these Games. It was fun to watch at the time as a Fan of Cars (also Cars 2006) back when I was Young it made me want em. But I didn’t have an Xbox or the Console or anything they used so I never got my chance. But I feel now that I have the chance to find the Game and how I remember it looked and actually play it and such.
That's what i heard that Ignition is one of the worst n that's why i held off from buying it. Hopefully with all the technology they can perhaps hire someone that can make a great nascar game. If ppl can make gt7 or forza, NASCAR definitely can be a 100% better than what it is now.
Tell me how "nascar the game:inside line" from 2012 looks better than modern games lmao. I legit though it was a real video. The modern ones like nascar heat look kinda trash compared to it ngl lol.
Cuando era niño llegaba de la escuela y jugaba un NASCAR pero no sabía cuál era yo era malo para el inglés.. quisiera recordar cuál era para volverlo a jugar, lo jugaba en eso del 2011 en el juego habían muchas pistas algunas habían precipicios, bosques, curvas en zigzag, despavimentados y también habían poderes.. recuerdo que podías lanzar un tornado y lanzaba a todos a volar
Última vez que joguei Daytona USA foi num fliperama que tinha antes no Shopping Tijuca, Zona norte do Rio de Janeiro. Mas nunca esquecerei a vez que completei uma corrida nesse jogo, mesmo que seja no Beginner. Foi em Curitiba, no Shopping Palladium(viajei até Curitiba) e terminei, se não me engano, em 18º lugar. Aaaaah, as memórias…
The resolutions are a bit low. NASCAR Heat had a much better image than what appears in the video, I think so did some others. It doesn't do that image justice when compared to newer games. For users with poor PC, NASCAR Heat is a perfectly playable and enjoyable game today. Regards!!!
NASCAR 94 was my all time favorite. I believe it was the only NASCAR game on console where you can drive to yourself into pit stop and drive back out without auto drive.

The Kurt Busch radioactive caught me off guard 💀
For me it was days of thunder🤣🤣
still to this day I can’t believe that outburst from Kurt that night 😂 and jimmy Spencer’s reaction to it 😂
bro the radioactive caught me off guard aswell lol
That would have made it infinitely better if that was actually in the game.
NASCAR racing 1994 and its crash physics ahead of time....so many memories!

20 years has gone since nascar racing 2003 was launched, and today is still the best nascar experience.
It’s like Richard Burns rally of nascar and it’s better than most of sim racing games today

NASCAR 2003 for the PC was and is still the best NASCAR experience. I used to race in a league and it was a blast. Good times!!
In welcher? Vr nascar?
0:14 what in the world is going on there LMAO
Hilarious 😆😆
‘94 was my first nascar game. Amazing how far they have come!!!
NASCAR Thunder 2002 was my first NASCAR game. The ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ intro. The tribute to #3. Still gives me goose bumps.

Imagine being a parent who bought their kid Days of Thunder only to hear it shout "Fuck!" All the time 😆
Thats not actually in the game, thats audio from kyle busch in the 21st century
1991 Bill Elliotts challenge sounds like a phone is ringing
Nascar Thunder was awesome. Was my first meet to nascar here in Mexico
Crazy that we’ve come full circle and we’re back to the 1984 games
LMAO
NASCAR 99 on original PlayStation was the first video game that was gifted to me as a 5-6 year old. It blew my mind.
I'd love a Nascar Rumble remaster with multiplayer support. I played that game so much when I was a kid.
I wish NASCAR would come back to Gran Turismo

2005: Chase for the cup. Unrivaled. still the best NASCAR game Ive played.
NASCAR 2000 and NASCAR Heat for the PlayStation are childhood classics. I still have my original copies of both games.
NASCAR Thunder 2004 is the best in my book. Absolute work of art.
NASCAR 94 is a certified hood classic
uh no, nothing hood about it.
NASCAR Cup Series is the top-level series of professional stock car racing! 🏎️ 🏁
Everyone always misses nascar road racing. A very obscure niche game that I loved as a kid.
For some reason I cannot watch a nascar race for longer than 5 minutes without falling asleep but I love me some realistic nascar games and the tactics involved

4:53 - NASCAR Thunder 2002; My favorite “NEW MILLENNIUM” nascar game
But the original “NASCAR RACING” in 1994 is still my favorite “ALL TIME FAVORITE”

Gran Turismo needs to bring that back!

Nascar Racing 2 is IMO the best Nascar game ever made. The tire wear physics were really cool.
Have you ever played Nascar Racing 2003 on PC?
@@jbadger1458 probably not.. that NR2003 its core was picked up after its source code became open source, and is developed in what is now iRacing today, is just insane, but says alot about NR2003. just plain Awesomeness.
should try iRacing
Wow, the 94 MS-DOS was a true game changer

Nascar Racing 99 is Released for the N64 App in 1998 and for The SegaSaturn.
Damn! I forgot how rough 90’s gaming was!
I played the crap out of 1994 Papyrus NASCAR racing, NASCAR Thunder 2004 and NR2K3
EA Sports NASCAR series is the best selling racing games of all time!

ESPN Speedworld on SNES was my favorite. Also enjoyed Mario Andretti racing on Sega Genesis too

Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge was goddamn impossible
(disclaimer: I was like 5 the last time I played it)
The hardest part of NASCAR Racing 2 was figuring out how to get the game running with MS-Dos
As was Nascar Racing 1.. making those 640kb free was a bitch to do..
WOW! The effort put into the making of this video was impressive. GOOD JOB. Thank you for the timeline and fun viewing experience.
Holy.......how archaic. You all must still watch nascar....koodos
Days of Thunder was the only game to this day that I believe you could do the pit stops manually
Days of thunder really went blue on the sountrack.
Its crazy how far video games came from
Nascar Racing 2003 is still the best particularly with the mods available now.
Inside line is still the most replayable. Has the best Era of drivers and only real flaw is an outdated load in screen.
I love the audio you used for Days of Thunder! XD :P :D :) ^_^
Tell me how "nascar the game:inside line" from 2012 looks better than modern games lmao. I legit though it was a real video. The modern ones like nascar heat look kinda trash compared to it ngl lol.
5:41 men i love NR2003, it's a great sim racing,Great job Papyrus and Sierra
Nascar 98, memories playing with my dad
NASCAR rumble was the goat
Man the nascar racing series games looked great.
Dirt to Daytona, Thunder 2003, and NASCAR 06/07 were the best
N2K3 still holds up after all these years.
NASCAR 98 and 99 were so fun!
Wreckfest wasn't actually a NASCAR game, but damn was it fun!!
wreckfest is still a thing tho..
Nah, but the nascar legends mod rocks.
Vanilla Wreckfest is so boring. Mods make the game an actual Wreckfest.
Que incrível coleção cronológica! Tenho o NASCAR RACING 1 da PAPYRUS pra PC com embalagem e tudo aqui até hoje!
Caramba
nascar 1994, rac network q british rally and a sid meier civ gane on pc was my childhood from 1994 -1997. memories came flooding back
0:20 bro calm down
The Nascar Thunder series I thought was the best
Loved those old Papyrus NASCAR games. Wish they would take over the series again in whatever form they are now

I remember when Daytona USA came out at the arcade that was a fucking amazing game I hate to think how much time and money I spent playing that game

The soundclip for Days of Thunder lol
Haven’t seen that movie
@@bighand1530 if you like Top Gun, you'll love Days of Thunder ... it's basically the same movie but with cars and awesome music
@@Haywood-Jablomie I didn’t find Top Gun boring. But could have done without the profanity and that one scene with Maverick and Charlie.
Bill Elliot’s NASCAR Fast Tracks is better than ‘21:Ignition
Around less than 2 years ago, i got NR2003, never regretted it
Excellent video ! 🎮😊🏁
Yeah
Wow. That leap from 1991 MS-DOS to 1994.
Nascar rumble...best arcade i ever played..never become another rumble of that series..
MS-DOS looks incredible for the time!
What happen in 1995? 1994 looked great and then 1996 before it looked like they got back on track
NASCAR dirt to Daytona is one of my favorite racing games
Kurt and Cole have things in common XD
EA sports nascar racing was my first and I found that fun. The problem I had with it most was fighting the wheel.
Games by Papyrus were ahead of its time.
Since Nascar Thunder 2002 🥲♥️
Woah no one even mentioned Nascar Arcade before you and that is pretty cool
NASCAR 94 was my all time favorite. I believe it was the only NASCAR game on console where you can drive to yourself into pit stop and drive back out without auto drive.
Daytona USA...legend🙏🏻
Mine is NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup, that is my favorite NASCAR video game.
NASCAR was started in 1948!

Happy NASCAR Day 🚗🏎️🏁 from VGE🎮🕹️!
Nascar Rumble is awesome. So much fun
I wouldn’t really call wreckfest a nascar game unless you race on the oval circuits.
Its funny how nascar 2009 lookes better than 20, 21, 22.. look at that feeling...
NASCAR stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing
🚗🏎️🏁
No kidding 1999 was Nascar's peak for Nascar games
NASCAR games evolved up to NR2003. After NR, they slowly began devolving lmao.
NASCAR 06: Total Team Control was the best!
Damn. Days of thunder was lit 😂
Who else would go in the opposite direction in heat evolution and go flying
Most of these look really fun!
Wait, Nintendo allowed "Days of Thunder" on NES, with all the f-bombs?
That was edited in, but hilarious 😂😂😆😂
