Racing before Gran Turismo

[8bit]

Racing games aren't as popular as they used to be. Which ones can you remember growing up? I spent a lot of quarters on Pole Position. When you were a kid this was the closest to driving a real car, lol.

Two of the best racing games ever made.I really wish they would do an update on both.

The original Mario Kart and F-Zero were pretty cool too.
