10 Incredible Video Games You Can't Play Today

7. F-Zero GX

If you want a realistic racer, Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport should be up your alley. Anyone who prefers a bit more carnage in their driving titles should check out Mario Kart or Burnout.

But when it comes to chaotic speed, nothing matches F-Zero GX, considering the futuristic racer has 30 pilots zipping through each track at a thousand miles per hour. 

Although previous instalments were solid, Sega outdid themselves with GX, with its luscious visuals, rollercoaster-like tracks, smooth controls, innovative story mode, and catchy score. Due to its humungous single-player mode, various challenges, endless secrets, and brutal difficulty, GX will keep anyone occupied for years.

Despite selling a serviceable 1.5 million units, it never received a sequel on a mainstream system. But since GX is a magnificent racer, there's nothing stopping this entry from being re-released, right?

Unfortunately, the developers have since been absorbed into Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Since that company have been more focused on cranking out Yakuza and Super Monkey Ball games for the last decade, their last priority is re-releasing a 20-year-old racer that was only mildly successful.

F-Zero 99 for the Switch may have scratched that nostalgic itch, but die-hard fans would trade it for F-Zero GX in a heartbeat.
