        Currently - all on 360 (don't have a PS3):

        1) Burnout Paradise
        2) DiRT [yet to play DiRT 2]
        3) PGR 4
        4) Test Drive Unlimited
        5) GRID [found this incredibly hard though, had to play through on easiest difficutly]

        As you can probably tell, i don't care for sim (but i keen to try out NFS Shift).

        Ever

        1) Rallisport Challenge 2 - Xbox [unfortunately its NOT backwards compatible ]
        2) F1 World Grand Prix - N64
        3) F-Zero X - N64 [available on Wii VC]
        4) Beetle Adventure Racing - N64
        5) Burnout 3: Takedown - Xbox [is backwards compatible, i think, and is on Xbox Originals]

        Also enjoyed the F1 series on PS2 (well specifically 2001 and 2006), and had a thing for Ridge Racer V on PS2 too, because i got it at the console's launch with only one other game, so i was kinda forced to get into it.

                    You're probably one of the few I know that had a 3D0. My brother got one and we played the crap out of NFS and Road Rash.

                      Gran Turismo 1 and 2(PS1), 3 and 4(PS2) - loved them all. can't wait to play GT 5.

                      Forza Motorsports 1(Xbox) and 2(360) - 3 will likely be great as well. only "sim" type console racing game that I like better than GT.

                      Rallisport Challenge 2(Xbox) - probably the best rally racing game I've ever played, too bad it's not backward compatible.

                      Test Drive: Eve of Destruction(Xbox) - don't know why, but I had a ton of fun with this game. probably the best destruction derby-type game on a console, and closer to "sim" than most destruction derby-type games try to be. it is backwards compatible.

                      Moto GP(Xbox) - one of the first games I played a lot online on xbox live(I was a Beta tester for Xbox Live). it was a time before online racing games were flooded with ****ers that like to wreck people, there weren't many annoying kids(funny cause I was still in High School then) at the start of Xbox Live. it was a fun game to play online. at one point I was ranked in the top 10 in a legit leaderboard. but then all the lame kids came around with their cutting the course, finding glitches and what not. it was then that I gave up on leaderboards forever.

                      Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit(PS1) - a very fun game to play. had a ton of fun playing this game with friends.

                        Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" when you started up Road Rash used to get me fired up.

                        Loved when you got pulled over in Need for Speed. The first track or so was a loooong straigh away. We used to use the Lambo to see how fast we could get it. Man I loved that system.

                            The visuals going from the Genesis to the 3D0 was freaking huge. It was impressive. It sucks that it died... just like the Saturn died.

                            Did you have Madden on your 3D0? I still liked that version better than quite a few of the first Maddens on the PS1.

                            What other games did you have?

                            I just pulled up the 3D0 list of games on Wikipedia. I hope my brother knows where his 3D0 is and that it still works. It would be great to see some of those games again.

                              I thought it was a heck of a good game too. It did some things visually that no other Xbox game had done. It's amazing what great games they could have gotten onto the BC list, but never did.
