    I definitely would like to see a modern rendition of Road Rash. I think this game would lend itself well to modern capabilities. It's very unique, in my opinion, and the older versions are terribly outdated, which I think makes it even more sensible to have a reboot now. What do you guys think? Which old titles would be your pick?

    Hmm, I dunno... Road Fighter maybe?

    Wait, if you're too young to not know this game, here it is:


    Yeah, I'm that old to have played this game on the NES. Anyways, it would be great to see what this game would be like now if it were released for the current gen consoles. :D

    I'd love to see the ORIGINAL style of Need for Speed come back. With the cheesyness and difficulty and having to actually unlock things. It's watered down these days it feels like a slog!

    Some old SEGA game and probably Wacky Racers. Nostalgia will be the end of me...

    Moto Racer is where the nostalgia hits me. It had pretty neat settings and music. I think it would be a nice change of pace although I don't see it being successful

    Maybe if they ran a kickstarter it could be profitable for the devs.

    I'd love to see a new F-Zero or Rock 'N Roll Racers. I'd love it if they combined the F-Zero characters into Mario Kart, I think that would be amazing. I don't even remember the last F-Zero game, I don't think they made one for the Wii.

    Maybe, but I don't think it was ever popular enough for that to really work. I haven't met that many people who have even played the game.

    I would give the original Midnight club a revamp on the graphics and play that!

    I don't even know if that would work. The only reason I played the game in the first place was because it came bundled with my Windows 98. I don't think it really stands out that much on its own.

    Ooohh... True, Crash Bandicoot racing games were pretty amazing. When Naughty Dog left the helm though, the series spiraled downward. If naughty dog could come back then I think Crash Team Racing would definitely make it big.

    There's always the small chance of a nostalgic dev picking it up and rebooting the thing. The odds of that happening are pretty slim...

    I agree, with the Crash Bandicoot, however I never really considered Crash Bandicoot a racing game, it was more of a action and adventure game to me. I also agree with the Burnout and the Midnight Clubs as well.

    I'd actually love to see that rebooted. I think it would be very fun to see something so simple brought to life with modern technology, and who knows, it might even gain a following.

    You got me thinking about road rash there I was a big fan of that game. I am even thinking of going to torrent sites to see if anyone is still seeding the game.

    Yes! I loved underground with the street cars. truthfully driving a bugatti is not as much fun as the golf gti fully pumped with all the performance parts and all body customization
