The interesting thing I've found with Rail Racer is that if I don't play it for weeks at a time, the next time I fire it up I have a truely horrible few runs while I get the knack back. It's got nothing to do with remembering controls or tracks, it's more like tuning back into the balance so you can do turns and jumps accurately without overthinking. That in itself adds replay value for me, because there's always a few awkward races when I first pick the game back up before I can crank up the music and really enjoy it.
It's bizzarre, makes me feel like that gaming session was actually slightly productive. It might just be specific to me, since even at my best I'm not as good as I'd like to be, but it's something I've never seen from any other accessible title.
