I can hear this image.

What an epic sound. Unrivaled by anything before or since.

    So it wasn’t just me then? That car killed everything.

    As a kid, the AWD made it so much more forgiving. And once you did all of the weight reductions and upgrades, it could decimate just about anything.

    It led to my buying a beat up old '94 black 3000 GT a few years back for $900(!!!) to fulfill the childhood fantasy. Not a VR4 sadly and it only survived a few months, but what a glorious few months they were.

    And a stock viper for making money in the normal car race!

    I loved my green GTO in that game.

    The Toyota 3000GT is also really effective. My friend and I used to play this religiously back when it was new. I used the GTO, him the 3000GT. We'd spend hours doing custom tuning and testing before saving our cars to memory cards and hanging out to race.

    Friendly reminder! If you're offended by the fact that PlayStation 1 is in a retro gramming group... You should really get a colonoscopy.

    I promise you no one is offended but we still want colonoscopies

    GT1 OST was great but I'd argue that GT2 had a better soundtrack

    US, I guess? I'm from Brazil so all we had was the bootlegged stuff, AFAIK Sony never officially released the PS2 around here

    but ya know, music is a personal thing

    yes, of course, and I wasn't trying to tell you otherwise :)

    I wish they would remake this game with new graphics. These old ones were so much better. I don’t want DLC or live services, I just want a driving RPG where I start with stock hatchbacks and gradually progress up the ranks and save up money to get better cars and win harder races.

    I haven't played a GT in a very long time. That's not what they are anymore? I have up on the genre when each car part had like 20 options and I had no clue what was good for a given track

    I remember being amazed at how “realistic” the cars looked, nowadays it looks pretty dated.

    That game got me into Garbage (the band) though. One of their songs was on the game soundtrack.

    First time my brother mentioned it he thought the live play was a commercial / live racing at first. It sounds silly now but at the time the graphics were much better than anything we were used to in racing games. Also back then it wasn't unknown to have proper live filming for video game commercials. We were both adults at the time too, unsure if that's worse or better heh.

    Now I check out Forza Horizon and am like, yeah that's digital, nice and shiny but definitely digital.

    Does the NA version have the Chemical Brothers remix of Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers intro?

    I thought that intro was amazing.

    GT is why I have Garbage's As Heaven Is Wide on my driving playlist.

    I wonder what it would take to get the new stuff running on the ol' girl.

    LOL just a modchip. I had no idea the tools were so advanced.

    To be 13 again.

    I still remember playing.

    Not sure about the rest of the world, but the UK version came with a thick manual that didn't just cover the basics like controls and gameplay features, but an in-depth essay on driving techniques and vehicle dynamics.

    It was actually really informative from a real world perspective.

    This reminds me that I still need to try out the Gran Turismo 2 Plus patch.

    the interactive sampler disc with this game was perfection 👌

    Wow is that an original psx? I remember GT. One of the few multi disc racing/sim games. Some of the best graphics the original PlayStation had to offer. 👍

    Did GT1 come on two discs? I know GT2 does (because I just checked my copy), but I can't find my GT1 box. I probably let my dad have it since he kept the PS1. I don't recall it being two discs though.

    Looking around online it seems to be one disc. There are people who swear it came on two. Another Berenstein Bears moment, or did early versions come on two discs?
