2. Test Drive (1987)
The original test drive game was released in 1987, it came out with 5 cars in the entire game. Although it wasn't a highly remarked game it started off one of the most successful racing franchises. The first in the franchise was a well rated game getting a 4.5 star out of 5 from dragon. The level design in the game was only designed for tracks on open roads. Though the game was limited by the technology of the era it still performed well for consumers, races only lasted a short amount of time due to this fact. It was also the first racing game to introduce in vehicle view though this was the only view due to the fact that they didn't want to design the exterior of the car.
The fourth in the test drive series, released in 1997 was the first of the series to incorporate multi-player, it was also the first to come to the next generation of consoles. Test drive 4 had 14 car and 6 tracks, it was the first of the series to have an external view of the car, for the technology had improved enough to have an external view, though it did not have an interior view, which is what set the series apart from other franchises it still sold very well.
