Used to play this on the family's Packard Bell computer. I would make myself immune to damage and then just drive the wrong way destroying all the other cars and then turn back around and win the race. Watching the replays of crashes was so much fun.
I used to do the same exact thing all the time!!! That was the only reason I used to play this game! I must have spend 200 hours playing this just crashing around.
+Cristiano Orsatti it was and I do. Spent lots of time painting textures. Warning: shameful teenage level idea, I painted a dick on the front hood over a beautiful black + yellow / golden gradient shapes. More seriously, the physics were amazing, I spent hours on replays.
I used to play this, and a few cool features was being able to paint/design your own car, get realistic body damage when crashing, and the coolest thing about it was you could race against your friend on the internet which was sort of brand new. The funny thing is, rewatching this as an adult gives me the same little adrenaline rush it game me as a kid.
I remember playing this game. I started racing and all I wanted to do was go the wrong direction just to crash into all of the cars on the road and I remember laughing thinking I’m some sort of maniac wanting to injure them 😂
My dad had this setup with the steering wheel, shifter, and gas/brake combo all attached to the computer desk. I was 13/14 years old, so this is triggering some seriously bittersweet, nostalgic feelings. I miss being that age, no real responsibilities other than school. Life was so much more enjoyable then.
Lots of memories with this one playing it as a kid in 1995. Upgrading my PC just to get Super VGA mode working then spending hours on a design in paint kit to race around Talladega at 200mph (you could also edit the track file for this track to achieve 200+ by removing a restriction) Great game for its time.
@@DaylightRobberyCA hahahaha that's amazing. Still to this day I wonder about this game and why the audio didn't work. We uninstalled it multiple times trying to get it to work.
@@RetailRipper I still have it and have been tempted to try to install it again on a different machine. But, it may be too old and may need a virtual machine.
I remember the game allowing you to pass under yellow flag when the guy in front of you was spinning out. So all you had to do was give them a little push and the position was yours. Since that would prompt another yellow flag, you could keep doing this all the way to 1st place.
used to have this game wayy back.. i had the PLAYBOY car skin.. i hardly ever finished a race.. i always had fun wrecking ppl and going the opposite direction to see how well i could dodge.. fun old game
Oh man, this brings back fond memories! I loved this game and actually, I still have it! Original box, manual, disk, everything! I loved seeing those car parts fall off, reminds me one time I was racing and crashed so hard it knocked EVERY panel off and then kicked me back to DOS. Great times those were.
I still have my copy of this from when I was a kid. A few years ago I tried to download it to a laptop but evidently modern computers wont support the old DOS format
It's an incredible simulator for it's time (1994) and all just about under a couple of meg as well which is even more insane from Papyrus Design Group! E.A. may of refined the genre but Papyrus were the innovators of the time!!! This IS the grand daddy and the forefather of all Nascar gaming genres!!! An incredible and blistering experience that iI still love to play now and it barely takes up any meg either!! Absolute RIOT!!!!
This game was my favorite back then, I was blown away by the graphics... I'm so happy I got to live through and experience gaming starting with Atari all the way through to today. Kids will never know the feeling, it was awesome to watch games get more and more advanced. Nintendo 64 was the big leap for me, Mario took on a whole new meaning when it went to that open world. What a great time to be alive!
My dad had a computer repair business and set up a PC he had from extra parts for my brother and I when we were around 4 and 5 back in the mid 90’s. We had this game and some other random games like Oregon Trail. Playing this game and wrecking cars would keeps us occupied for hours. This was our iPad equivalent to what kids have nowadays. Definitely more simple times.
We got our first modern computer in 1995 and this came pre-loaded on it. I used to play it all the time, even though I hate real Nascar. Sometimes I'd have fun by turning my car around on the track and driving in the opposite direction, slamming into other cars and sending them flying backwards.
un verdadero clasico! lo jugaba en la primer pc que hubo en casa de mis padres, una IBM con windows 95. Los destrozos en los coches y las repeticiones, conducir en direccion contraria. Lo jubaba al tiempo que conocia DOOM, NBA Jam, Jazz Jack Rabbit, entre otros. Buenos recuerdos.
Played this on my mac g3 as a kid. Ended up being the only game that didn't play with sound and would crash every 5 minutes. Brings back good memories. Sierra made some fantastic games back then!
25 years ago I was playing this game at vga resolution on my 486dx33, pretending I was playing Daytona USA. Today, my current pc can finally run Daytona USA 2 Power Edition at Full Hd @60fps 😁👍
good memories, good times ...I played a lot it when I was young. Together this game I played a lot these games: - Duke Nukem 3D - Quake - Indy Car Racing 2 - Indy 500 - Super Karts - Prince of Persia - Grim Fandango - Sim City 3000 - Championship Manager And a lot of others that I do not remember now that I had on my Pentium 100 MHZ with 16MB of ram KKKK
Funny how this was the catalyst that would eventually give us both NR2003 and iRacing. You can still see some of the same basic structure in all three.
@Chris L when I played this game I had a normal pc my new setup is *VIBOX Hyperion HyperFreeze Package 30 - Ultimate Gaming PC, Windows 10 Desktop Computer with ASUS 28" 4K UHD HDMI Monitor, Razer Chroma Bundle: BlackWidow Keyboard, DeathAdder Mouse + Mat, Kraken 7.1 Headset (Intel i7 Extreme 5960X @ 4.5GHz 8-Core Processor, Custom Dual Watercooling Loop, 2 x 12GB Nvidia Geforce GTX Titan X (SLI) Graphics Cards, X99S SLI Plus, 500GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD Solid State Drive, 3TB Hard Drive, 64GB Patriot Viper Xtreme 2800MHz DDR4 RAM, RM1000 PSU, Phanteks Primo Case)* and it runs this old game I'm happy
Nascar racing from Papyrus was great and if anyone knew a game flaw it was this, if you hit a stationary race car at practice mode , if you hit it a certain way, you would send the car flying at probably 5000 mph around the track, it was really funny on talledega where you could send the car the whole way around the track, LoL 😆
This game was so awesome at the time. It’s still better than the new nascar ignition game they put out this year lol. This and test drive were my two go to games. I used a joystick lol
I remember playing this back in the day, seemed like the computer cars would keep getting faster the more you played, so you could not keep up with them.
Took me forever to figure out how to do a pit stop. You had to stopand pump the brakes. generic carset on the start of this game. easy to import new paint
Many months ago I've tested the famous "2003 Season", wonderfoul okay, but if you want to paint your car, you must download mods and "similar things". No, I prefer the 1994 version... :- P
I used to play this over dial-up with my buddy down the street. He knew some kind of cheat to make his car faster, and I could never beat him no matter what :(
I got this game from my neighbor when i was a kid in 1996 an played it with steering wheel on a 3/86 PC on lowes graphics ....hahahaha But i loved the destruction graphics and the options to design your own car .cool game at this time .. Ah....i got it on 4 vor five diskets
Squakenet unfortunately everything lands in garbage when i leave my Parents house...so sad. But i bet Theres a dos Version to find in the net.. Loved back then when my neighbor told me the game has Real V8 sound :-D
How did you get the "better graphics" version WITH the trackpack tracks? I've looked everywhere to try and find a version that contains all of the tracks, but all I've found is the original with Rick Mast, Rusty Wallace, Marlin, Labonte, Bodine etc and it would load with the version you have there.
I always turned around at the start and tried to see if I could take out every car with 1 crash . Could never get pit stops to work (now I know after reading comments ) And I always blew my engine just from hitting the wall.
I still have this game put up from when I was a kid. I found it yesterday and I tried to download it onto my laptop but it wouldnt run it. Is it because it ran on DOS?
+Squakenet I've found and bought the original 1994 Nascar Racing CD-Rom ver., with "his 180 pages manual"! Paid the incredible price of 2,50 €. Now I need the Track Pack...
Probably will, you may have to use a program like DOSbox to run it though. Actually, I was just looking and yeah, DOSbox but, but, also, there's a site where it runs in your browser! And it works pretty dang good!
Sound was difficult to get working even with the original in DOS. The setsound command Squakenet mentioned was the way to do it in the DOSBOX system. I suggest NASCAR 2 though, better graphics and better physics.

I think 90% of people used to do the same then!! :D
Isn't that how you're meant to play the game?
We are kindred spirits
I used to do the same exact thing all the time!!! That was the only reason I used to play this game! I must have spend 200 hours playing this just crashing around.
lmao this was literally me, including the Packard Bell family PC.
the graphic back then was so impressive to me :) loved it!
This was a fantastic game... does anyone remember the Paintkit?
+Cristiano Orsatti yes!! I had a lot of fun tuning my cars!!
+Squakenet Me too! ;- )
+Cristiano Orsatti it was and I do. Spent lots of time painting textures. Warning: shameful teenage level idea, I painted a dick on the front hood over a beautiful black + yellow / golden gradient shapes. More seriously, the physics were amazing, I spent hours on replays.
I used to crash frontally and have a little fun with replays too!!
Squakenet I still have them, freshly restored from a (400MB wooo) backup tape. I may attempt a dosbox revival.
This is probably the most depth that has ever gone into a nascar game
takes me back! I remember Watkins Glen was a real pain in the ass
waroonafreerider lololol I was blowing so many engines. My 6 year old self didn’t know what I was doing lmao

The funny thing is, rewatching this as an adult gives me the same little adrenaline rush it game me as a kid.
I can only describe this game in one word: *Classic.* This was *THE* original NASCAR game.
Yeah, still one of the best out there!
I remember playing this game. I started racing and all I wanted to do was go the wrong direction just to crash into all of the cars on the road and I remember laughing thinking I’m some sort of maniac wanting to injure them 😂
Try Dosbox. It should run on there.

Stop stealing my memories!
Nice to see this game played and finally being able to hear the audio. Had this as a kid and after the intro, there was no audio lol.
My sister and I spent hours playing this game with no audio…. Never was able to get it to work… too young to figure out why…
@@DaylightRobberyCA hahahaha that's amazing. Still to this day I wonder about this game and why the audio didn't work. We uninstalled it multiple times trying to get it to work.
@@RetailRipper I still have it and have been tempted to try to install it again on a different machine. But, it may be too old and may need a virtual machine.
Man brings back memories. My first ever PC game.
Same bro I started on this game with a windows xp
Windows 95 for me
the replay was an adrenalin hit at that time
One of the most important games of my entire life!
2 Peoples with negative votes Were born in the generation of the PS3 , They know nothing
It's my favorite game
must be FB, IG or SNAPCHAT generation...
I can’t put in to words how many hours I spent playing this game!!! Especially when I found the folder that allowed me to customize the look of my car
Yeah, the car designer was so good. I used the flames drawing all over the car and then watched during replays from various cameras...
I remember the game allowing you to pass under yellow flag when the guy in front of you was spinning out. So all you had to do was give them a little push and the position was yours. Since that would prompt another yellow flag, you could keep doing this all the way to 1st place.
I loved how the cars would explode when you crashed.
Kids…you have no IDEA how mind blowing these graphics were in 1994. Amazing game and feel.
Yeah, not to talk about the physics engine (of this and Indycar Racing too)
Absolutely! I remember when it came out. My dad spent a good chunk of money to get that top of the line steering wheel/pedal combo setup.
used to have this game wayy back.. i had the PLAYBOY car skin.. i hardly ever finished a race.. i always had fun wrecking ppl and going the opposite direction to see how well i could dodge.. fun old game
Back in the DOS days, good times
Oh man, this brings back fond memories! I loved this game and actually, I still have it! Original box, manual, disk, everything! I loved seeing those car parts fall off, reminds me one time I was racing and crashed so hard it knocked EVERY panel off and then kicked me back to DOS. Great times those were.
Such memories... thanks for uploading this video
I still have my copy of this from when I was a kid. A few years ago I tried to download it to a laptop but evidently modern computers wont support the old DOS format
Use dos box hell it dosent run for me on my windows xp laptop so idk if it'll work
You need dosbox to run dos games on any computer from windows 7 onward.
I only had the ps1 port in '97 but was still blown away by the gameplay.
I must've spent hours driving the wrong way around Martinsville. Good times.
Did the same thing but on Talledagea.
It's an incredible simulator for it's time (1994) and all just about under a couple of meg as well which is even more insane from Papyrus Design Group! E.A. may of refined the genre but Papyrus were the innovators of the time!!! This IS the grand daddy and the forefather of all Nascar gaming genres!!! An incredible and blistering experience that iI still love to play now and it barely takes up any meg either!! Absolute RIOT!!!!
advanced car setup and an actual damage model for the cars was very impressive for such an old game
I remember this game. Would always target the light blue and brown car and make sure we took them out. then go finish the race
This game was my favorite back then, I was blown away by the graphics... I'm so happy I got to live through and experience gaming starting with Atari all the way through to today. Kids will never know the feeling, it was awesome to watch games get more and more advanced. Nintendo 64 was the big leap for me, Mario took on a whole new meaning when it went to that open world. What a great time to be alive!

Definitely more simple times.
I still have my 2001 Pentium IV 1,7 (Willamette) working good to play all old games like this in my original Windows XP Home
just wanted a top end 486 badly at this point.
I had a Pentium 60mhz and it still wasn't powerful enough without removing the road and grass textures
Nostalgia... good memories. Time flies omg :(
omg
I remember playing this on a Tandy computer, I was fascinated with it
one of my favorites games from the childhood, i love the crashes in this game, it was so funny :D
We got our first modern computer in 1995 and this came pre-loaded on it. I used to play it all the time, even though I hate real Nascar. Sometimes I'd have fun by turning my car around on the track and driving in the opposite direction, slamming into other cars and sending them flying backwards.

I feel Nascar was way superior to Daytona USA.
Remember when we went in and removed the restrictor plates...
I remember playing just to go backwards on the track and cause some fun head on collisions
Crash + Replay-----> FANTASTIC!
good memories, good times ...I played a lot it when I was young.
Together this game I played a lot these games:
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Quake
- Indy Car Racing 2
- Indy 500
- Super Karts
- Prince of Persia
- Grim Fandango
- Sim City 3000
- Championship Manager
And a lot of others that I do not remember now that I had on my Pentium 100 MHZ with 16MB of ram KKKK
Sim City 3000 or 2000!?
Funny how this was the catalyst that would eventually give us both NR2003 and iRacing. You can still see some of the same basic structure in all three.
I remember when I used to drive backwards fascinated destroying the other cars hahaha
i dont remember games looking this good in 1994
You may have played in VGA like I had to do back in time. My 486 was not good to run it in SVGA!
Here comes Johm Smith around the corner going the opposite direction on the track. Head on collision. Boom. Car goes flying back.
Papys were always ahead of their time...maybe its time for Iracing2 or whatever
*2019 and I still love playing this game*

Back in the day... when we didnt have beamng.

Or taking off to the moon...
This game was so awesome at the time. It’s still better than the new nascar ignition game they put out this year lol. This and test drive were my two go to games. I used a joystick lol
I plan to play with a racing wheel sometimes (if I manage to get it working!)
I remember playing this back in the day, seemed like the computer cars would keep getting faster the more you played, so you could not keep up with them.
Amazing physics engine
The field opens up and the track gets more grip by tire rubber on the road and temperature of the road.
Loved this game!
What's up, guys. I'm Proud Of You! sound trite !!
I think this game came with our first computer, could be something else. It was around '96 and I remember the game cover being a bit more orange
I remember playing this on a Pentium 90
Took me forever to figure out how to do a pit stop. You had to stopand pump the brakes. generic carset on the start of this game. easy to import new paint
it's a shame this STUDIO doesn't exist anymore. they made the best sim racing games ever, like Nascar racing season 2003.
They exist as iRacing now. It’s still Dave Kaemmer and the crew that was Papyrus.
In 95 I would of been 18 playing this on the family HP
6:35 in the mirror.... *EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES*
I once painted a Mountain Dew car for this game that looked just as good as all the other official cars
I loved repainting my car too!
The last game that was good was NASCAR 06. But NASCAR Heat 5 took it and it became the best new game
I remember my PC was good enough to play this game in 640 x 480. That was like HD back then...lol.
This was my first computer game
My dad would get so mad when we would drive backwards 🤣
It was the funniest thing of this game!
Got this for Xmas in 95, dam good game.
Good times... =D
Good gosh the memories
Many months ago I've tested the famous "2003 Season", wonderfoul okay, but if you want to paint your car, you must download mods and "similar things".
No, I prefer the 1994 version... :- P
the legend before DAYTONA arcade was born :D
Quite different from the Daytona game though, as this is a simulation (and Indy is even better iMO)
Holy cow I remember this.
I think this is the game where i always wanted to drive the white car.
Grandissimo gioco per l'epoca, per la grafica emozioni di guida e longevità
I used to play this over dial-up with my buddy down the street. He knew some kind of cheat to make his car faster, and I could never beat him no matter what :(
I got this game from my neighbor when i was a kid in 1996 an played it with steering wheel on a 3/86 PC on lowes graphics ....hahahaha
But i loved the destruction graphics and the options to design your own car .cool game at this time ..
Ah....i got it on 4 vor five diskets
Did you return it back or do you still have!?
Squakenet unfortunately everything lands in garbage when i leave my Parents house...so sad. But i bet Theres a dos Version to find in the net..
Loved back then when my neighbor told me the game has Real V8 sound :-D
*taps wall* *blown engine*
Played it on a Packard Bell with a Pentium 1.66 and 16 megabytes of ram. Used a Thrustmaster T2 wheel and pedals.
In 16:9 aspect ratio with no black bars the game looks gorgeous !!!
But my DOSbox ECE prevents me to do that.
The fact is that the game was in VGA/SVGA both in 4:3
@@Squakenet I figured it out ! I set the game in 1440x1080p but in Nvidia settings I set a fullscreen aspect overide so the game gets stretched.
I remember that when I tried this in SVGA I got 1 frame per second.
Haha, yes, here the same on my old 4 RAM MB 486!!
Squakenet precisely. My Pentium 100 also had 4mb ram.
My childhood game
My childhood!!!!
I ALWAYS made my car indestructible, turned around and then crashed into the other cars 😀
How did you get the "better graphics" version WITH the trackpack tracks? I've looked everywhere to try and find a version that contains all of the tracks, but all I've found is the original with Rick Mast, Rusty Wallace, Marlin, Labonte, Bodine etc and it would load with the version you have there.
I always turned around at the start and tried to see if I could take out every car with 1 crash .
Could never get pit stops to work (now I know after reading comments )
And I always blew my engine just from hitting the wall.
はじめてのdospc買ったときこれやったなあ、海外のゲームってすごいんだと思ったよ
hell yeah
but the good thing is this game 3D
Yeah, 3D and an excellent physics engine
I still have this game put up from when I was a kid. I found it yesterday and I tried to download it onto my laptop but it wouldnt run it. Is it because it ran on DOS?
its only on dos
Missing the track textures... Only worked with 8+ megs of RAM.
Yeah... I had to remove a lot of features in my old 486 with 4 MB
Pretty sad this game from 1996 has a better damage model than Heat 5 😂
It was really outstanding
You need driving practice but I like the video
Are you playing it with DosBOX?
I'm using this one, but the graphic sucks...
+Cristiano Orsatti you have to run with "-h" option to have SVGA. Default mode is VGA otherwise.
+Cristiano Orsatti Also if I'm not wrong the F1, F2, ... keys are used to control graphic details during game execution
+Squakenet Problem solved! ; -)
Thanks
I want to save this old game and the ultrarare 2003 version.
+Squakenet I've found and bought the original 1994 Nascar Racing CD-Rom ver., with "his 180 pages manual"!
Paid the incredible price of 2,50 €.
Now I need the Track Pack...
+Cristiano Orsatti I've found and installed the T.P.!
Works perfectly! ;- D
whenever I played and tried to pit nothing would happen. I'd just sit there getting lapped. I feel I'm missing something important.
You have to hit the brakes for the pit stop to start, you also have to be in the right position.
The Hawaii days
Good old kayboard racing😅
Will this game run on windows 7 or better pc or laptop
Probably will, you may have to use a program like DOSbox to run it though. Actually, I was just looking and yeah, DOSbox but, but, also, there's a site where it runs in your browser! And it works pretty dang good!
Better damage engine than most of the current games.
licensing issues.
F1 is even that strict that they forbid codemasters to make the cars be able to flip over. Its so stupid
I installed NASCAR racing , but sounds not works , anyone know how to put sound with windows XP?
+Leonardo Capucio you should play through dosbox, and run setup or setsound to set sound correctly.
Sound was difficult to get working even with the original in DOS. The setsound command Squakenet mentioned was the way to do it in the DOSBOX system. I suggest NASCAR 2 though, better graphics and better physics.
あ、俺がいた
dont drink and drive
Great advice!
