Sport games are a huge market in today's world. You can find almost any sport in a game on almost any system. The graphics on these games are also so good these days, which every player sometimes looks as they do in real life. The game play for these games are also much like the sport and every year the makers try and make it more and more like the real sport. One of the biggest markets is racing games. Racing games have been playing on all different systems ever since consoles were invented. You can find racing games on the popular systems now including Pc, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii. Every system has their own way of providing racing games. These games usually come in first player mode and allow you to drive from outside and inside the car. You can find games of all different kinds from drag racing to NASCAR. In 1972, you had the start of the racing games. There was the Atari’s Space Race, it was a big hit and was controlled just by the red analog stick. That same year a company called Taito released Astro Race, which was had a 4 way directional pad on the machine. These were the first racing games on the planet and after this, every game since, has gotten better. Not all racing games were based on a track either; some were in space on different vehicles than just race cars. Racing games are still very big when it comes to arcade games also. You can find arcade games, where you sit in the seat like a car and drive while watching the screen.
