you forgot :
- Wangan Dead Heat

- Zero4 Champ DooZy Type-R
- Deka Yonku -Tough The Truck
- Highway 2000
vbt:
Highway 2000 is the US release of Wangan Dead Heat, racing only, the girls/videos were completely removed.
Nissan Overdrivin' GT-R is the Japanese version of Need For Speed featuring an extra car (which one is obvious).
Deka Tough The Truck is the Japanese version of TNN Motorsports 4x4 Hardcore.
As for Virtual Boat Race 2... well... it's a boat racer. The control has little to do with cars, it's probably best comparable to Cyber Speedway if anything (in terms of control). It IS, however, also much more complex and has a tiresome amount of menus and statistics screens. Not an arcade racer in any sense...
Finally a question: what, if anything, do you know about Zero 4 Champ Doozy Type R? I've previously tried without success to find info on this game. Seen a cover shot but that's it.
-- EDIT: --
You guys (Daniel and vbt) have done such an impressive job at compiling a very nearly complete racing game list that I feel compelled to also mention that Wangan Dead Heat comes in two versions:
- a single disc released in 1995, featuring 10 girls
- a 2-disc set released in 1996, featuring five more girls (no duplicates from the first version) and a video-only disc with clips that play on Saturns with and without an MPEG card. Features the five girls up-close as well as some behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the game (or rather, its video).
Other than that, the actual racing games are 100% the same.
