RALLY RACING VIDEO GAMES EVOLUTION [1974 - 2023] 

Sega Rally series was so much ahead of it's time. No wonder it was so popular.

Colin McRae rally 2.0 was so much ahead of it's competition that it looked on the PS1 better than some games did on the PS2 🔥 I can't even remember how many hours I spent with that game back in the day 👌🏼

The quality of the Arcade games seemed way ahead of their time, how amazing!

The fact, that Richard Burns Rally from 2004 is played by thousands of people today, shows, that the game is still a masterpiece. It's one of the best games I know - when it comes to the physics. It's simply amazing.

Richard Burns Rally still rules !

PAC man rally was the absolute best game when it comes to sims. The physics and handling are so spot on and it is nothing short of a master piece and will always be remembered in gaming history as the best rally sim on the market right now. 10/10 bravo

Rally championship 1999. What an underrated game!

original Colin McRae and 2004 Richard Burn Rally gives me goosebumps. What a memory

2004 Richard Burn Rally the best

Sega Rally?!?! Colin McRae Rally?!?! You bring me beautiful memories!

I remember playing video games for the first time on my friend's odyssey. It was mind blowing. Then I played video games on Commodore 64 and I was like wow mind blowing. I grew up video games and home PC. It was recently I notice have not had WOW mind blowing moment. VR has the wow factor, but I am referring to consoles and computer. I was fortunate to be WOWED so many times I could not count. The 1980s had numerous wow factors. I am thankful to see the birthing of vide games and PC and the maturing process. Now my wow factor is my age and how fast it was. Time is like a train one does not know how fast it is going till it hits you. Lyle C Rollings III

And Richard burns rally is still one of my favourite Sims. Not found anything better.

1988 lobard RAC was the first real rally game, looks pretty good! Very authentic

As someone who loves rally games, I've learned that there are a lot of games I don't know. Great video congratulations.

That's a fantastic compilation thanks for putting it together. You brought back so many happy memories of so many wasted hours.

Sega Rally was awesome, that's the first one I remember

I played Lombard RAC Rally on my Atari ST when it came out. That makes me feel old! Also still got the ST and it works.

The wrc titles for the PS2 made by evolution were epic.

I spent tons of hours playing Top Gear Rally on N64. To this day that game still has one of the best paint booths I've ever used.

Rallisport 1 and 2 were absolutely beautiful for their time period.

Couple of errors here. Firstly, that wasn't the Amiga version of stunt car Racer. Looked like the spectrum version. Screamer 2 was a home computer game and as far as I'm aware was never in the Arcades. Great compilation thanks!

Anyone else just watched the child hood just pass by in 27 minutes. Good job

👍Я в реальности видел как работает ралли на аркадном автомате, это просто взрыв мозга! Так плавно и красочно, ни один компьютер и приставка не давали такую картинку...

Dirt Rally is still one of the best rallygames

Все таки самая любимая из этих игр Colin McRae rally 2.0 и Colin McRae rally 3. Сутками сидел за компьютером особенно во второй части. Управление, графика, повреждения для тех времен были просто космос!!! Ни у кого в те времена не было ничего подобного!!!! Надо бы попробовать в новые ралли сыграть на PS5!!!

I love the one with the crunch. Even you bite down the crime hardly stops for once.

I remember being absolutely blown away by Lombard RAC Rally.

Buggy Boy looked absolutely incredible for its time.

You forgot “Paris Dakar 90” in 1990 on MSDOS. I remember Lombard Rally to be the first rally game more than a racing game. And Colin McRae was the first game with advanced physics that were pretty impressive for its time.

Q Network RAC was super fun. Time changes in 1998. Colin McRae Rally was released and it was such a good sim.

Richard Burns Rally played over 1000 hours at the time, it was the best rally game at the time! !

Holy crap... I recognize graphics and gameplay of these early rally games by the fact that they inspired so many flash racing games I used to play back in 2011-2013...

Oh, dear God. I remember playing the first one. Damn, I'm old.

Sega Rally 2, people jumping outa the way group b rally style lol memories!!

It's amazing how fast games advanced from the start of the 80s to the end of the 90s. But from 2000 to now it has all slowed down, only graphics have changed.

Those isometric games are usually a PITA to control, but 1993’s World Rally Championship looks like an exception, especially since they nailed the drift mechanic. It’s usually a genre I avoid but I’d love to try that one. Neo-Geo devs were brilliant!

The jump from other games of the time to Sega Rally in 1995 would be like going from today's games to just living in the Matrix and not knowing you're in a simulation.

for me, WRC RALLY EVOLVED is the best game Rally Ever under 2010... because, if we look at the graphics and gameplay, this game is as real as the original... and for the year, this game is the best and I'm lucky to have played it and it even became my first game about rally games

Test Drive for Commodore 64, Pole Position for arcade, RC Pro-Am, Rad racer for NES to name a few of my old school faves

I just so happened was trying to remember a rally game I used to love back in the early 2000's and I remembered this video so I went through it and sure enough, you listed the two games. Xpand Rally/Xtreme omg I used to love those games. Installing now and hopefully they run on modern hardware/systems!

my favorites are screamer 4x4, cmr 03 & 04 (04 japan and uk rain scenes were so amazing), i'm stuck with dirt rally 2 now, thank you

I started gaming in 1996, I feel like that was the perfect time and I'm happy I got to experience the evolution of gaming to what it is today.

2024... twenty years later... Richard Burns Rally still king

Rally Championship 2000 was far ahead of it's time, just like Drive Club was years later

Off Road velociraptor expedition is a hidden gem :D

Dirt Rally 2.0 in VR is amazing. Colin McRae's Dirt 2 was my favorite for years.

The Network Q RAC Rally Championship was for me the first rally game on PC. At certain spots of the game I was getting only 15 frames/s, but it was great back then. Also "Screamer" PC version was great fun. Colin McRae Rally on PS1 was fun to play. Thanks nice compilation.

Came here hoping a game I only had a very blurry memory of would be on the list. I remember playing a free demo of it on my dad's PC as a kid, remembered it being called X-treme Rally or something like that... Turns out it was Xpand Rally! Apparently it did well enough to get a sequel. Might as well revisit it now that I know the name.

5:55 mi primer juego de Rally. ¡Nostalgia pura! 😢😊

Lombard Rac Rally (1988) looks genuinely impressive for its time. It is the first game on the list that resembles real rallying.

It shows how much progress has slowed when the games from the early 200x still look decent. Edit: so if you compare 1990 with 2000 it’s a masive jump up, but 2000 to 2010 is nothing like big, and 2010 to 2020 is smaller still.

Yeah there's no way the game in the thumbnail is from 1974

Dirt Rally 2015 - Best Ever!!! Nothing compared! 🏁🏁🏁

Being a life-long "gamer," I appreciate this 'PINOCCHIO' video. I am currently perusing it/viewing it -- not so much for 'nostalgic' reasons as much as information regarding good rally games (from say about 2000-present date) that I can either buy or download for my Windows laptop... Racing games are one of my favorite genres of PC games -- have been since the 80s when I first got into gaming... "Rally racing" is a genre of real life and also PC racing that is quite distinct from most other types of racing and in some ways is the most challenging and difficult of any type of racing sim that exists...in some ways it is simultaneously the 'funnest'... I have tried some of these racing games' "demos" -featured in this video- in the past as well as full-version games. In my opinion, and perhaps the opinions of many others as well -- no "Rally Racing game" I have yet so far ever downloaded or owned comes remotely close to the realism, fun, and difficulty level of "Richard Burns Rally." When it came out in 2004, it was by far the best, hardest, and most realistic Rally game ever...as far as I can tell it still probably is 18 years later. The blokes at "Warthog games" are geniuses for coming out with such an amazing simulation... I have recently downloaded several handfuls, no less, of other full version Rally Racing PC games from sites like Abandonware (i.e., Colin McRae Rally, V-Rally, Xpand Rally, and many others) and none of them remotely compare to the realism, graphics, driving physics, etc. of Richard Burns Rally. Richard Burns Rally is also a 'bitch': It's BY FAR the most complicated PC Rally racing game ever made that I know of to learn to set up all correct and many configurations in the main menus -- and also to get the game 'drivable' at least with the keyboard...

Estos vídeos me dan tantas nostalgia me recuerdan mi niñez ,,,gracias por traernos tan buenísimo video

1994 saga takes it to new level

My favourite of all time is Sega Rally absolutely delightful game

Merecedor do LIKE. Esse deu trabalho ein; parabéns. Excelente

Half a century now. I'm terrified : I played those games..when they were released 😂

Sega Rally из 1994(!) первое что-то внятное, во что можно поиграть даже сейчас.

I lost months of my life to Network Q RAC Rally on Pc. Still love the style of it today

I really loved to play RALLY and RALLY X and also BUMP N JUMP when I was 8 and 9 years old. I am Japanese.

Richard burns rally looks amazing for 2004. Good artists must have made that!

Used to play that super off road loads on nes/snes at my friend's had no idea what it was called until this jogged my memory

Stunt Car Racer at the 2:55 mark is not the Amiga version, that is the Spectrum

Network Q RAC rally from 1996 often gets overlooked, it’s good!

Lombard RAC Rally was phenomenal, loved it and finished it in the day ❤ Slight error with Stunt Car Racer with Amiga in the corner but with ZX Spectrum looking graphics ;)

Everyone who complains today that the games are not enough simulation or don't look realistic should watch this. I lived through this times and played many of these games. And at the time we were stoked to have them.

dirt rally 2.0 is my favorite..!

1994 is when things started really changing. So many memories here

You forgot Network Q RAC Rally from 1993!

Everyone has their favorite, but when i played Sega Rally Championship with responding steeringwheel my soul was sold. I know a place where it still exists and time to time i have to go there and play few rounds.

Top video. Thank you 👍👍

when it comes to simulators, Richard Burns remains untouchable

25:48 wow graphics went back on time almost two decades

Rally Championship 2000 👍 So many hours...

Colin McRae 2.0 still holds up as the best, although I spent a lot of time on RalliSport Challenge, equally as good

Bump 'N' Jump: Okay now things are getting better Rally: Okay maybe not

You've got a like for including Insane, one of the best off-road racing game!

Colin 2, WRC 4, Colin 2005, Toca, Forza 3 Best memories for me😊 Actually playing Dirt 2.0 F1 2022 and Asseto Corsa.

This channel is much better than Game Evolutions, since it (mostly) shows every game in their correct aspect ratio and native resolutions. Game Evolutions stretches everything out to 16:9 and shows older consoles games in 4k, which is deceptive.

Wreckfest; the only game I’ve played where I can come last and still had a cracking time laughing my head off. Gotta play it with a wheel for the best experience

Well done. Lots of great memories :)

INSANE 2000 - Best!!!!

How come there's no games from 2030 and beyond? Someone must have some idea what cars we'll be driving by then.

I remember playing WRC 2004 and Dirt showdown, dirt showdown was more like demolition derby than rally racing i clearly remember playing it with my brothers and man it was fun

I wish some day they make an easy plug and play emulator for ms-dos or arcade, so many great racing games that weren't released in home consoles that we are missing out

Sega Rally Championship is incredible for 1994.

The version of Stunt Car Racer you showed wasn't the Amiga port. It was the ZX Spectrum port.

1:25 Wow nice graphics for 83!

*[GAME OVER YEAH!]* Aside from Super Off-Road The Baja, Gear Club Unlimited, Smuggler's Run, and Rally King (in Retro Game Challenge,) you didn't miss a lot in this rally/off-roading list. Wonder what the next racing vid is going to be, maybe something with motorcycles?

Sega Rally was way ahead of its time!

That 70s game looked like a food experience. I made legos into race track like that.

Wow, Buggy Boy (1987) looks awesome

I remember those isometric view racing games..yeap I m old. But believe me they are extremely fun :) still very beautiful for my POV

18 Years and still RBR is top rally sim

Интересно было увидеть весь прогресс в данном жанре, от основания и до наших времён. Forza рулит! Но она всё-таки более аркада, чем ралли. А из того, что играл, серия Dirt нравиться. Автор видео молодец!

How far we've come. I'm glad I got to experience most of the stuff from the early 90s onwards and be able to remember games from that era.

Colin mc Rae the first, sega rally 1 and 2, Rally trophy, and the best being Rally championship 2000

! The GrandFather of all Rally games , this is amazing Rally game "Sega Rally Championship" 1994 !
