What racing games, arcade & console, would you say were the great games prior to Gran Turismo? :dunno Pole Position and Bump N' Jump are pretty legendary. :cool:

Yeah, it paved the way for Mario cart IMO. :cool:

Namco were the masters of the top down maze game! Loved getting the two chasing cars to crash into each other. :thumb
