MB Video Game Classics: Gran Turismo [PS1]
 

I remember the Gran Turismo games being a **** ton of fun.

One of my favorite racing games. Its the only racing games Ive played but I sunk soo many hours into it. Dark green twin turbo was my favorite car.

Can't go back and play it now, but I was pretty into it for a while back then. I found some easy race later in the game where you would win a valuable car every time you got 1st place. No more money trouble :laughing:

(Although that might have been in GT2. I played both a lot back then.)

Fun game. GT1 did a lot for its time. I played much more of GT2 and loved that one as the upgrades were super fun. However, by the time GT4 rolled around, open-world games had made this format feel long in the tooth, linear, and stiff by comparison.

Open world car games or like rpg/gta typegames?

Yeah, mostly thinking of the GTA series. I can use any type of vehicle that I want: cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, you name it. I can upgrade them, race them, drive them up mountains and have no rules at all. I sometimes turn it on just to race around the open world for fun. I bought GT5 for the PS3 because I wanted an extension of that racing experience, and it felt much more linear than I had anticipated or remembered GT1 or GT2 being.
