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.

Jet Set Radio HD
Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game. Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about. Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.
