1010th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Playstation 1/PC Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Reflections Interactive Publisher: GT Interactive Software Sometimes I picked these final games based on them being a well known series or being important in another right.

947th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: PC Year of Release: 1998 Developer: Papyrus Design Group Publisher: Sierra Sports The focus on Grand Prix Legends feels different just reading the description.

886th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Playstation 1 Year of Release: 1998 Developer: Namco Publisher: Namco The Ridge Racer series naming convention really gets confusing – aside from there being a second Ridge Racer with the same name on the list, this seems like the fourth one – although I keep forgetting it’s part […]

833rd played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1996 Developer: Konami Publisher:Konami In my last write up about Fuel, I wrote about games that would have been good when the book was published, but wasn’t as notable now.

799th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1993 Developer: Namco Publisher: Namco Racing and driving games are interesting entries on the list.

Out Run is the canonical […]

710th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Game Boy Advance Year of Release: 2001 Developer: Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo The Mario Kart series is one that we have to cover a lot of entries for – and we covered them throughout, with Mario Kart 64 being an early game and Mario Kart DS making for […]
