NASCAR 99 on the N64 is one of those racing games that nails the chaotic, bumper-to-bumper feel of stock car racing. You pick from real drivers (Jeff Gordon fans, unite) and tracks, then dive straight into races where the AI doesn’t just roll over—they’ll shove you into the wall if you let them. The weather actually changes mid-race, too, so one minute you’re cruising under clear skies, the next you’re white-knuckling it through rain. It’s not the prettiest racer by today’s standards, but the handling’s weighty in a way that makes drafting and blocking feel satisfying. Just don’t expect a clean race—this is NASCAR, after all.
