A funny side-note..
My friends have the LeMans 24Hour for the Dreamcast. You can play it
realtime, so the race takes 24 hours...
Two of my friends actually did the 24 hour race, switching every 6 hours or
something without ever pausing the game. They started the race at the proper
time (4PM I think?) so it got dark in the game the same time it got dark
outside and everything! They set up a camcorder too, and they turned it on
for a few minutes every hour to give an update on how the race is going.
It's a hilarious video to watch.. you can see piles of coke cans stacking up
every hour, and pizza boxes. Towards the last few hours, neither of them are
making any sense and they're just mumbling and complaining about their eyes!
It's awesome..
They came in 1st too.. made the last pass at the 21 hour mark I think.
