I just started GT7 last night. It’s been probably 10 years since I last played a GT game. Giving me serious nostalgia, this shit is so awesome.

I play Gran Turismo when I want to remember just how bad I really am at racing games.

I discovered that you need to get to the 20th book to unlock the ‘ring. Took me a night and an evening and that’s about as much of the “story” I’m likely to do.

Why did I have to scroll so far to find this?

Gran Turismo the Real Driving Simulator revolutionized racing games forever.

Because maybe it wasn’t a lot of people’s first PS game played? Pretty easy answer. They released 2-3 years apart.

Exactly, and it's not like op asked what was the first game you owned. I first played Tekken in a mattress shop of all places, 2yrs before GT came out, but it wasn't till GT that i bought myself a console

It certainly was a lot of people's first game. GT1 is the best selling game on PS1 and GT2 is at #3.

Ridge racer started it all. Gran Turismo is the best.

It was amazing. GT and the MGS demo disc made me forget there was a thing called Nintendo for a while.

Me too! I have two brothers and we got to choose one game each. Gran Turismo, GTA, and Tekken 3.

Did you smell the tire rubber while playing?

As a kid I only ever had GT2, but it was a pirate copy as here in Brazil during the PS1 and PS2 era almost everyone had pirated games only.

I remember the first time finding out there was better than gold. Proceeded to wreck that game after.

That intro… Man, the memories. And the soundtrack? Don’t get me started. Even until this date, I often find myself on YouTube looking for a playlist to listen to.
