Sometimes you want to drive fast in an '80s car and for most of us, keeping a car that old running is an expense too far. Thankfully game developers have also experienced this urge and come up with a way for us to fulfil it, that doesn't involve expensive engine replacements and regular terrifying dashboard lights. The 80s racing game is still alive and well today, but not all games are created equal. If you're after the creme de la creme of retro car racers, then look no further. We've compiled all of them here for you.
80's Overdrive
If you love paired-back visuals, then the 80s was a golden age for video games. Technology at the time meant that the glossy graphics and smooth interface that we're used to now just couldn't exist back then. Some people love being able to see every hair on the head of the character they're playing as, some like taking a moment to work out which part of their character IS a head. Suffice it to say that if you fall into the latter camp, you're going to love 80's OVERDRIVE. This game is available on Steam and it is worth every penny. The game is obviously 2D in design and allows you to get behind the wheel of some amazing American muscle cars. The colors are, as you would expect, bright. Each car has its own amazing paint job, which you'll have to try hard not to concentrate on as you scream through the Las Vegas desert. As well as having great gameplay, no expense has been spared when it comes to the soundtrack. With no less than 18 different synth and retrowave tracks, it'll be a miracle if you don't get one of these stuck in your head.
