It’s so neat to see the game still receiving mods and independent patches after all these years. I wonder how many new players discover this series, who are probably born well after its release.

Multi-generational fanfare is common among other multimedia such as books and movies, but I wonder what the breakdown is for video games, or how that percentage may be changing as the game publishing industry continues devolving.

Yeah, I preferred when the franchise mostly centered around stock super and hyper cars, and performance tuning was done via the settings menu rather than mucking about with in game farming for aftermarket parts.

The voice over and picture show promos for vehicles in the selection menu was so hype for every model, even if you knew the car wasn’t even top tier in the game.

Horizontal split screen worked rather well for racing games, given the split field of view on the old 4:3 displays are quite similar to widescreen gaming today.

This but keyboard one player and another on dad's flight stick. My sister and I took turns. Keyboard isn't much of a disadvantage in my opinion, kinda like in Trackmania actually.
