Go on then. Hit me with.

I plump for Project Gotham. For the cones, kudos, and visuals.

A toss up between MSR (for making a serious racer fun, although too difficult for my liking. Yes I'm crap.) and Burnout 2 (for being lots of fun, but marks knocked off for having to unlock really interesting things. Like the Chase HQ mode).

Oh and Mario Kart and the F-Zeros, but you knew that already.

Fence sitting, there.

Mario Kart 64 for the multiplayer funnies, F-Zero X for the single player seriousness.

Mario Karts (not MK 64), DKR and Burnout 2 are in my top three in some order.

Mario Kart 64 is one of my favourite games ever, actually. It's a pity I don't have an N64. Sniff.

Ridge Racer. Nobody tells Digiworld what not to pick as their favourite racing game.

You're just playing with me, fella.

Or, on closer inspection (via your website), perhaps you're not. Don't hurt me.

Super Mario Kart for fun, MSR for racing, Wipeout 2097 for action.

Super Mario Kart (SNES).

Although I am seriously enjoying F-Zero GX at the moment, but I doubt I will put as much effort into time trialling as I did with SMK!

I didnt get on that well with the N64 incarnation of Super Mario Kart - the time trialling was ruined by the shortcuts and the single player racing was infuriatingly reliant on luck.

For all around funness I'd say Mario Kart with F Zero just behind. I've played the GT games and they're just.....boring.

Never been a big fan of racing games, but I'm looking forward to playing Project Gotham 2, as there's a bit set in Edinburgh.

I have fond memories of playing Wipeout for the first time. Slightly drunk, I thought that leaning would somehow help steer. Oh, and Championship Jet Ski Simulator was great for the speech at the beginning.

Well I would have to agree with Mario Kart, but I also love Waverace64.

Of the ones I've played...

Chocobo Racing.

I haven't played many racers :o

I guess that it's a suprise that no-one has mentioned Gran Turismo yet.

This is more difficult then I thought it would be...

It would probably be MSR, followed by F Zero on the SNES.

However it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge the hours of fun I have had playing Le Mans 24 with three other people, or Ferrari F355 against someone who knows what there doing, same goes for Daytona (Arcade).

Doh, of course Mario Kart gets a mention... but this is all a cheap way out. If I had to choose one single racer it would be...

Demolition Derby... ahh so much fun.

OK decision, MSR. Why? Because you got to drive around real cities, it was challenging but never stupidly hard, the graphics were stunning, there was so much to unlock, the radio stations were great, its good fun multiplay...

The only - well documented problem - with it is the whole kudos system. I has every level unlocked by the hald way point so no desire to continue which was a hell of a shame.

So therefore, what do you (and other people) think of Project Gotham?

I thought the initial novelty factor that I felt with Metropolis Street Racer was of course lost, but the actual game was better.

I think I will never succomb to the siren call of Bill's black box.. hurrah!

Ahh. One of those, eh?

Screamer 2.

Haven't yet found another game with the same speed, handling and sheer fun.

Although I though RRIV had the same kind of approach. Just without the fun. Or sense of speed. Or handling. Hmmm . . .

Neither game has a reverse gear. I thought you should know this.

Credit us with some soul, man.

Future Racer. Seriously. Best £7.99 I ever spent.

That game, on a demo pod, in Toys R Us. Me, just come from Burger King, standing.. gazing. I had dreams about that game.

There's it's soul, maaaaaan.

Course, when my older brother actually bought it..

Well yeah, but... it's just cars innit? Anybody can do cars. It's making it fun, that's the hard bit.

- Makes a face like someone has just tapped him on the shoulder, and when he's turned around, there's no-one there -

I remembered a racer I like: Rollcage.

That'd be Sega Rally, sirs. Preferably the arcade version, although the Saturn version is this: Excellent.

That'd be closely followed by No Second Prize on the Amiga... Mouse controlled motorbike loveliness. Got to mention MSR and Ridge Racer Type 4, too. Along with Mario Kart and F-Zero, of course. Then a little bit of Micro Machines. Oh man, there are way too many good racers.

Ahh, Micro Machines. Yeah. Back when Codemasters were fun.

Ah! Beetle Adventure Racing on the N64. I make no apologies for loving this fun, unpretentious, underrated little racer.

Diddy Dong, er, Kong Racing was pretty fun, really. Then there's Mario Kart, o' course. And that new F-Zero plays lovingly.

I've beaten DKR three times, including the mirror mode, and I have the sudden urge to play it all over again.

Love that game.


giant_frying_pan

hmm

f-zero x or daytona arcade i'm thinking. i dunno.

What about Stunt Car Racer? I remember getting my dad to drive me and my computer round to my mates to play this multiplayer.

It was fantastic.

However, we only did it once because we couldn't be arsed lugging the 'puter, telly, power brick, joysticks, etc. etc. to each other houses - and neither of us owned a modem as they cost eleventy billion pounds at the time.

You make me feel young. I love you.

Truly excellent.

Oh and in terms of time spent on it it would have to be original GT. (I Suspect I am (possibly) unbeatable on GT) <=============== LIE

For fun I like a bit of Excitebike on the nes, am I wierd?

You make me feel old. *presses button marked, 'assassins'*
