Racing game fans, I'm about to break your heart a little. What you're about to see are not, in fact, advertisements for HD remasters of classic racing games - they're Forza Horizon 3 screens, with some light photo manipulation and other games' logos slapped onto them, courtesy of Reddit user Eric Yui.
Yui has created more than two dozen homages to the racing games of yesteryear, and that's just part 1 - he says he plans to upload even more thanks to the attention his post has gained. We've picked out 10 of our favorites below, but you can check out the full Imgur album to find your favorites if you're feeling so inclined.
