So you crashed back then too 😉🤣 Yeah, I remember too if you didn't change your gearbox mid rally too, it would pretty much always fail. I was too fast for the codriver so I usually crashed on every tight corner that followed a flat out section.  Still a fantastic game though. I really did keep eyes on the map because of the codriver. The tarmac stages in the wet were awesome too. It just needed decent physics. |

I also played the network Q rally games to death, they sure had tons of immersion, and having the real stages and all those cars of the british champ in that later one added a lot to the game, even if competition was fierce at that point, with the Colin Mcrae series, and the official WRC games.

Is forgot about Virtua racing, I had that on the Saturn.
I used to love playing this too.
I never had a Nintendo in my youth, in our house we only had Sega consoles until the PS1 came along. I then later got a N64.
Anyone else just loyal to one brand of the console war back then?

Talking about console, a friend/neighbour of mine had the Atari and we played "Combat" to death. I think we never ever failed to laugh when the other guy's tank got hit and was spinning around.

I keep having to remind myself that Megadrive is the same as Sega Genesis. I guess an NES was an NES on both sides of the pond?

Yes it was, not sure of why Sega felt the need to rename it for the States. Maybe a marketing team found that the name Genesis resonated with American evangelicals? LOL In addition to the Sega Genesis, we also had a Sega Game Gear, which I believe was the first portable color video game system in the USA. We played racing games, football and Sonic the Hedgehog on this  Williams Renault was sponsored by Sega at the time, and there were a lot of promo pics of Sonic with Prost and Hill.    |

This Sega game had really nice dynamics and incorporated banking periodically.

Never played that one. I always played Daytona USA and Sega Rally, was incredible when we got them on the Sega Saturn.
