Racing (Arcade-Style)

Arcade games are games with a gameplay style similar to those found in coin-operated video games. Styles include "unique" gameplay ideas such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, through racing and flight games that forgo real-world physics and settings for "over the top" action. This is a very diverse genre that spans most anything that has ever been found in a coin-op cabinet.

Quantum Rush Champions

Be prepared for high-speed races against challenging AI pilots on huge, futuristic race tracks. Destroy your opponents with mounted cannons and special pick-up weapons, upgrade and fly different racers in a vast and spectacular environment on earth and in space.

Rocket League

Rocket League is the sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, at it's heart it's a football game played with rocked powered cars. The rocket powered cars can boost, jump and for all intents and purposes shoot themselves across the pitch while trying to smash the ball into the opposing teams goal.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation

Return of the murderous racing game where responsible driving involves making detours to ram anything that moves. Violence, driving skills and creative use of power-ups can be used indifferently to add time to the countdown and earn credits for on-the-fly repairs. True to its roots, Reincarnation leaves guns to lesser games and supports gender equality among protagonists, opponents and pedestrian victims alike. Parents will also be glad to know that the game has three tints of blood to choose from and contains a healthy teaspoon of british potty humor. This is Carma...

Moto Racer 15th Anniversary

New entry in the classic series. The Windows version of this game is only available as part of the Moto Racer Collection.

Mashed Fully Loaded

Mashed is a top-down vehicular combat racing video game, similar in style to Micro Machines, Circuit Breakers and Super Sprint. Each race consists of four vehicles. The player has to navigate various obstacles and obtain weapon pickups to succeed. The game operates a left-behind principle: the camera tries to keep all players in one screen, and if one drops far enough behind in the race, they are eliminated, and the other players race on.

Need for Speed: Underground

Racing game about tuning cars.
All races take place in a generic city at night called Olympic City, though the city bears some resemblance to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Rather than exotic cars, Underground featured vehicles associated with the import scene.

Ride

This simcade racer pays homage to a hundred models of sport bikes produced between 1987 and 2015. Races take place over fifteen locales, including a selection of iconic GP tracks and fictional scenic roads. All bike models can be heavily customized with both cosmetic and mechanical upgrades... and there's a clothes shop for riders, too. In addition to an extensive World Tour and quick race mode, RIDE features two-player splitscreen and 12-player online events. The demo only showcases solo quick mode on one track (long and short variants) and three bikes.

Death Rally (2012)

The "revised remake" of the 1996 top-down racer was a huge hit on iOS. Although developed by Remedy, it shares so little DNA with its classic ancestor that it was met with a cold shoulder on our platform of choice.

BlazeRush

An isometric-ish racer-shooter whose subtle gameplay is served by a beautifully bare-bones control scheme. All vehicles are maintained within reasonable distance of each other along the race, so that using power-ups and evading trouble until the last second is more important than just having the fastest ride. Targem's in-house engine is also pleasantly undemanding whilst delivering colorful FX, detailed physics and particles galore. In career mode, earned points and cups unlock new cars and challenges respectively. Up to 4 local players can enter the fray.

Midtown Madness

Midtown Madness (also known as Midtown Madness: Chicago Edition) is a racing game developed for Windows by Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego) and published by Microsoft.
