MrSmartGuy 12/31/20 1:15:27 AM #31:	Honorable Mention - Gran Turismo 3 A-spec (PS2, 2001) My only foray into racing games pre-PS2 era were either really wacky (kart racers) or crazy fast (F-Zero), and the idea of a realistic racing sim didn't seem all that fun for me. But man was GT3 waaaay ahead of its time. That game looks great for 2001, and plays like a dream. Also, that soundtrack is ridiculous. Lenny Kravitz, Motley Crue, Jimi Hendrix, Goldfinger, The Cult. God that's all so good. It also had some crazy races. I recall one of them being a 24 hour marathon of Nurburgring, but the game also had a feature where you could set an AI to drive for you if you gave it commands for how risky to drive, and how often to pitstop. I played one night for like 7 hours, built up a 3 1/2 lap lead (each lap was like over 2 seconds), and then set my AI to be fairly safe and pitstop often, hoping it could at least hold on to that until I woke up and finished the race 7 hours later. Lo and behold, I turn on my TV and my AI is behind last place by 10 laps. I gave up. Ah, good times. Honorable Mention - Tecmo Super Bowl (NES, 1991) I'll be honest, this game is not on here because I have crazy nostalgia for it or anything. I didn't actually play this much as a kid, because I didn't understand or even care about the rules of football until I was in my teens. It's actually because there's a super dedicated community for it that manipulates the game's files to update the league for every year's rosters. Keep in mind that they also had to change the number of teams and divisions from what there was in 1991. Because of this, I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of Tecmo Super Bowl 2016. And Tecmo Super Bowl 2017. And Tecmo Super Bowl 2018 and 2019. Unfortunately, the fansite's owner decided to shut it all down this year, but it wasn't before I got literal years of enjoyment out of this nearly 30 year old game. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:948941281] in The Board ...
