The first real sim, whithout it there would be no IRacing,Assetto Corsa,AMS etc. Thanks to the dedicated mod community it still holds on very well. I hope we'll see a remaster/remake someday.

Basically one of the greatest racing sims ever made, still absolutely immersive and playable with the right mods. Somehow holds up with better singleplayer AI and career than most modern-day sims. If GOG could get a new and definitive release out, it would be doing a genuine service to the sim racing community at large.

Bought it when it came out and played the hell out of it. Incredibly unforgiving but also satisfying physics, great damage model, wonderfully retro graphics, and very unique setting and cars. A must have ... except that you can't anymore .
Wow, what a sim. No really, even a pre-teen me who was awful at this loved this game so much. I still have my copy, even. It just doesn't get better than hearing the scream of your Scuderia Ferraria as it accelerates.

I first remember seeing this game on the store shelf in what was then Babbage's back in 1998. I always wanted it, but I didn't have an up to date PC to run the game at the time. A few years later I bid for a full unopened box copy on eBay and won the bid. I even later found a jewel case copy as well. This title really needs the special attention that ONLY GOG can give it.
Those games also need your vote!

Twisted Metal
Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.
