Ah yes, Mario Kart...the joys of *** around everyone else using
Luigi...if you know anyone with an N64, see if you can take Mario Kart 64
for a spin...it's even better!

Oh....and everybody can race Supercarts at 240KMH? A Supercart sim would be
the ultimate driving game. The sense of speed would be fantastic if done
correctly. The force feedback would be brilliant as you point and shoot
around the corners. The corners speeds themselves far exceed just about
everything but F1. I can;t hink of a more pure form of 4 wheeled motorsport.
It is no coincidence that most of the F1 world champs and a lot of the South
American Cart drivers are ex Supercart champions.

Okay, so the consensus is that Virtual Kart's okay? I just
got it in trade for my kids (they LOVE arcade racers!!) but I was
surprised it was still sealed. I didn't want to open it if it sucked.
I remember playing the demo and thinking it was cool, but not worth
what they wanted in the stores for it.
I have a wheel for 'em and they have a Cyrix 200+ w/40MB RAM
and Matrox Mystique 4MB, Win95 and a 15" monitor.

Maybe if I could get GPL and a HyperSimulator for my kids, I would
consider the trade. I think you settled for too little.

Yeah, I know, no one likes a smart-ass. Couldn't resist :)

It should work fine. I have an MMX P200 w/ 32MB RAM and an 8MB Herc
Thriller. Framerates are good here.
