Ależ w to się nagrałem:) setki godzin ,każdym samochodem. W tamtych czasach grafika wyrywała z kapci,te detale aut, różnorodność tras.Do dziś do niej wracam.Niby wszystko poszło do przodu ale pierwszy Colin wciąga nadal jak mało która gra Byłoby fajnie zagrać na dzisiejszym sprzęcie w ten klasyk
I remember the European version where I would choose "Novice" difficulty and choosing the Renault Mégane Maxi blue and yellow rally car, and playing a lot when I had my first rig inherited from my cousin. This game, to me, was the precursor to like motorsports in general, and which set my path to be an IT professional nowadays. Remember that had an nVidia TNT2 GPU and a Pentium 3 CPU, as I saw that such rig's hardware was compatible with Windows XP after I upgraded the operating system. Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz Sr. good friendship and legacy will never be forgotten!
Colin McRae Rally is an essential game in the history of racing games and a landmark in rally games. Both PS1 and PC version were very popular(at least in places where WRC is popular) and it's easy to see why. Fantastic presentation, excellent representation of driving in different tracks and weather conditions, gameplay that was instantly gripping but took a long time to get good at. By the time you were driving at night(a real challenge in this game) in the icy roads of Sweden you felt like a real pro. Sega Rally was fun, but this had so much more meat in it. Still an amazing game to play today and it should be on GOG.

F-Zero
F-ZeroF-Zero is set in the year 2560, when humanity's multiple encounters with alien life forms had resulted in the expansion of Earth's social framework. This led to commercial, technological and cultural interchanges between planets. The multi-billionaires who earned their wealth through intergalactic trade were mainly satisfied with their lifestyles, although most coveted more entertainment in their lives. This resulted in a new entertainment based on the Formula One races to be founded with vehicles that could hover one foot above the track. These Grand Prix races were soon named "F-Zero" after a rise in popularity of the races. The game introduced the first set of F-Zero racers: Captain Falcon, Dr. Stewart, Pico, and Samurai Goroh.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
