Jet Moto (1996)
Genres:Sport, Arcade, Racing
Themes:Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Gameplay in the Jet Moto series differs from traditional racing games, as players instead control hoverbikes which hover close above the ground and can be driven over both land and water. Most of the courses in the games are designed to take advantage of this ability. The game has a variant of the traditional road course but also introduces a new course type, known as a suicide course. Instead of being a continuous loop, these tracks have checkpoints at either end of the course, and the starting grid in the centre. Characters race to one end, then turn around to head for the other checkpoint, repeating the process until all laps are complete. This provides a new gameplay dynamic as often the player must navigate oncoming traffic. Characters are split into teams, and bikes are adorned with logos of products such as Mountain Dew and Butterfinger, similar to real-life sponsored racing.Show more

The games were my first intro to future racing besides the wipeout series. With modding, excited for the possibilities! Hoping the trilogy gets released and the second one gets the GOTY extra maps! Funny story about that one...
Future racers deserve to be archived on here, and I concur with ChrisCommander about how awesome the mod scene for this game would be. The trilogy would be nice, but if we could just get the first game, so be it. Imaginative racing games like these are a lost art.
Need for Speed: Most WantedThe player arrives in Rockport City, driving a racing version of the BMW M3 GTR (E46). Following Mia Townsend (played by Josie Maran), the player proves his driving prowess as he is pursued by a veteran police officer named Sergeant Cross (played by Dean McKenzie), who vows to take down the player and end street racing in Rockport.
Races seem to be in the player's favor until a particular group of racers, led by the game's antagonist, Clarence "Razor" Callahan (played by Derek Hamilton), sabotages and win the player's car in a race.Trending Open world
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.Trending Action
Asterix (Arcade)Asterix is a horizontal-scrolling beat'em up arcade game released in 1992 by Konami. It is based on the French comic series Asterix and Obelix. The player fights as either Asterix the Gaul or his best friend, Obelix, as they take on the 'might' of the oppressive Roman Empire. Asterix includes a variety of humorous fighting moves, which are demonstrated in the game's attract mode. The artwork and feel of Asterix remains true to its French source material, and the game's many humorous touches (such as the way defeated Legionnaires crawl away) will be instantly familiar to fans of the comic-book and cartoon series. Bonus levels - such as the chariot race that awaits at the end of the first level - introduce different gameplay elements to provide a break from the fighting.Action Historical Comedy

Micro Machines 1 and 2: Twin TurboThis game gives new meaning to the phrase "Take two, they're small." Micro Machines 1 & 2: Twin Turbo literally gives you two games on one cartridge. This is an unconventional arcade-style racer where the tiny vehicles are seen from a top-down perspective. There are no pit stops to plan for, nor is there oil pressure for you to worry about--just motorized mayhem on a miniature scale. Identical in gameplay, each game in Micro Machines 1 & 2: Twin Turbo offers 24 unique tracks that, from your microperspective, seem enormous! You'll race around gigantic breakfast tables, bathtubs, desks, and gardens. With simple gameplay and quirky, colorful graphics, this game should appeal to gamers of all ages.
