Oh weird, looks like this got necrobumped? Anyways, scanning through the thread, I didn't see any mention of Little Racers Street. It's pretty neat, good selection of tracks and cars, and it's cheap!

The arcade version with the wheels was so cool

The only other arcade games I played more than this were Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and the Turtles arcade games.

Man I loved Super Off Road. Had it on SNES too...so good.

OP, grab Reckless Racing 3 for mobile (iOS or android)

It's seriously one of the best mobile games out there and it's like 3 bucks.

I loved the first two, will have to check it out.

Isometric racers are better than most regular racers imo. Something about it I enjoy (though I do love remote control stuff, so isometric racers probably feel as natural in a weird way.

Mini Motors is a good one I enjoyed.

If you like actual RC racing VRC Pro is a full on RC simulator thats well worth getting into but youre best to use an actual RC radio rather than a controller for that one.

I didn't like Overtop. The controls felt very stiff. Thrash Rally/Rally Chase (which I guess doesn't fit this thread because it's top-down) by the same devs is much better.

I've only played Thrash Rally, Overtop and particularly Neo Drift Out look inspired by The Gaelco World Rally arcade game, anyone know how they compare?

I really miss them. I still bust out the occasional Rock'n'Roll racing session or Super Off Road.

Skidmarks 2 gets a lot of playtime too

 

[cyber_ninja]

I'd kill for a new Rock and Roll Racing game.

Can't remember if World Rally had this but Mille Miglia switches to motion-blurred tilesets once you get to a certain speed, it's nuts.

Not technically isometric but the RC Car level from Toy Story (Genesis) was the most frustrating thing ever for my 9 year old self.

Loved Racing Destruction Set on the commodore 64.

Lots of other games get the gameplay but track creation and being able to tweak most everything about a particular level was great.

You could race moon rovers. Try to race a formula 1 car on jupiter. Huge variety of vehicles with very special attributes, multiple terrain types.

I still haven't seen a single isometric racing game do everything that racing destruction set did. Sure the basic gameplay is there but the huge variety of configurable options to create a one off isometric racing/battle game hasn't been matched.

I used to love Power Drive on the Megadrive, that was a great iso rally game.

There was actually an excellent sequel to Power Drive, called Power Drive Rally on the Atari Jaguar. For a 1994 game, the detail in the graphics were amazing. There was snow, fog and rain. Skid marks were left on the tracks. Day and night time driving. The creeks and rivers had motion and the water reflected the sky. Real life licensed rally cars that you could buy and upgrade. Various racing locals from around the world. The control was also uber-tight and spot on. Power Drive Rally is a totally cool game and a hidden gem.

9 on gamespot !

Mickey's racing adventure on the gameboy color.

the game is as deep as playing golf was in mario golf on the gbc

Made by Rare, the game has huge sprites, 3 mini games , you can use a car or boat and tune your rides and level them.

This game is the best racer on the gameboy color.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

loved RC Pro Am

[Grindlefly]

Not isometric but I always had a lot of love for the supercars games back on the ST
