The definitive isometric racer. Slamming the pedals, thrashing the steering wheel, upgrading cars, silly music, it's the shit. It still holds up on some home ports, and its formula has been copied countless times, but it's not a true isometric racing experience without intensely throttling around a greasy wheel.

Great visuals and animations, but these top down RC car style racers just don't do it for me.

Chaos

Oh this is just so fun multiplayer with the cars going all over the place, and spending your in-game money between tracks to update your car or get boosts back. The graphics are really a delight as is the game a delight to play. Probably the best of these isometric racers out there!

A fairly okay racing game that is a fairly neat, if limited, arcade racer.

When played with a wheel on the arcade cabinet, this game handles so well. I had such a blast racing, making serious dough, and investing into supplies for more races. Never before or since playing this game have I felt more like I was living the life of a real professional racer freak.

me and my bestie played this for like 2 hours straight last time i went to the arcade and we laughed the entire time. killing each other for money. ivan stewart’s a fuckin cheater

There's nothing quite like whipping the steering wheel in this arcade game. The NES port was a lot of fun too.

This is an all-time arcade favorite of mine. I remember playing this near the entrance to an old Wal-Mart as a kid. Still fun today especially with others. You inevitably spin the wheel too far and spend the race trying to get your car back on the track but that's part of the fun and then spending all your cash between racing trying to out-strategize your friends. This is almost a guaranteed good time.
