The history of racing games
The first racing games appeared in the second half of the 1970s. The progenitor of the genre is considered to be Space Race, a 1976 title for Atari, which included a 2 player multiplayer mode. Like most of the titles from the 1970s and 80s, Space Race featured rudimentary black and white graphics.
The revolution for racing games came in the 1990s with the release of the first Need for Speed game. This classic racing series gave the players a chance to drive realistic vehicles in 3D environments. 1994's Need for Speed set the new standards for racing games, ones that are being honored to this day.
Types of racing games
Racing games can be divided into three sub-genres: arcade, simulators, and kart. Arcade racing titles emphasize the fun experience of driving vehicles without much emphasis being put on realism. Members of the genre include the earlier iterations of the Need for Speed series, Ridge Racer, Midnight Club, and Burnout.
Simulators focus on the realistic representation of driving, providing the player with more challenging gameplay mechanics. Many of those games can be played using the steering wheel controller for an even more realistic experience. The representatives of racing simulators are such series as Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo, and Project Cars.
Kart racing games are similar to their arcade counterparts, with the emphasis put on the fun racing experience. Most kart racing games do away with realism completely, introducing mechanics such as deployable weapons and consumable powerups. Probably the most famous representative of this genre is the Mario Kart series, although there are others that offer similar gameplay features.
