RE: Favorite racing games of all time
All of the ones you listed were favorites of mine. I played RC Pro-Am on the NES though. Super Sprint is another arcade game that was sort of a predecessor to Off-Road.
I also really liked and got very good at Pole Position on the Commodore 64. Other racing games on the C64 I had fun with include Test Drive, Grand Prix Circuit, Outrun, and Kikstart.
Excitebike was a blast on the NES too if that counts. There are probably tons I am forgetting.
Racing Destruction Set (again on the C64) was a lot of fun and while I haven't played them, RPM Racing and Rock 'n Roll Racing (on the SNES and other platforms) are supposed to be good and are descendants of Racing Destruction Set.
How did I end up forgetting that? This was the first game I can recall having a "track builder" that was intuitive and actually worked. We had loads of fun creating more and more impossible tracks and then having our friends play it. Not sure if you ever played the Game Boy excitebike but when you linked up multiple Game Boys that was really wild since everyone had their own screen and again, custom tracks were also possible and this time, saveable!
