It always seemed like a kiddie game that’s not meant to be taken seriously, but apparently a bunch of people in their 20s and 30s take it very seriously.

Why? Isn’t it pretty much random and unfair by design?

Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

    When the Nintendo kids were playing that, i was hitting Sega Rally, Geoff Crammond’s Formula One Grand Prix, and Destruction Derby.

    Let’s just say Mario Cart was not for me.

        No, I only enjoyed the sims at the time.

        I’m older, and life has gotten busy.

        My friend’s son is into it in a big way. I’ve used his full sit down simulator. It’s impressive.

        Stunt Car Racer. Now that was impressive back in the day, also.
