It had an opening crawl
For generations, the GALACTIC PODRACING
CIRCUIT has thrilled citizens of the Outer
Rim Territories with its fast and dangerous
contests of repulsor and turbine-driven
land vehicles.

Amid the ruffian and racing elite, one
champion stands above the rest. His name
is Sebulba, a cunning and ruthless pilot
who wins by any means necessary.

To challenge him, all the best Podrace
pilots gather on the desert planet Tatooine
for the legendary BOONTA CLASSIC
determined to claim the title of fastest
podracer in the Galaxy...

Not quite though - Anakin only just finished his own podracer during Ep1, he piloted another vehicle owned by Watto before that, so presumably the game takes place after the Jedi leave Tatooine without him and he just keeps being a racer. Things actually go a lot smoother for Palpatine all through the Clone Wars, but the Galactic Civil War goes multi-sided, he gets killed by Ahsoka before he can rein in all in, and by Disney time it's mainly sectarian Jedi wars.

It was one of the N64's biggest hits.

Episode 1 Racer was even a packed-in game for the system for a time!

Considering that, when a video of a fanmade Unreal 4 version hit the net, everybody started clamouring an actual remake of it... Yes, not only was is played, but it's also considered one of the best SW lincense games we ever got. I know I was pretty happy, when GOG version of the original was released.
