I don't know, but a reason could be that it was published exclusively
on PSX, i.e. that Sony holds exclusive rights on it. AFAIK that's the
case with some top-selling titles on PSX.

I have it on the Playstation and the graphics are shite compared to the PC.
This is so frustrating as the gameplay and sound is really excellent. I have
to put up with the shite playstation controllers instead of a desent
joystick and you can't see the corners properly on such a low resolution, so
you end up smashing into the wall all the time.

P.S. Hundreds of games??? I don't think so. The playstation has a 1000s of
games nearly all of which are really ***games. The exceptions being Gran
Turismo and Point Blank. They don't even come close to most PC games.

You would also get better resolution if you had a TV which had an S-Video
input.  The difference between using the composite and the S-Video on GT is
like night and day.  Well on my TV anyway.

I already have a wheel and GT wont let me use it.

I also have the Dual shock controllers and these are shite too.

I'm using the $35 Ultraracer controller.  ~2" dia wheel, analog trigger
throttle, analog button brake.  I like it.  But I have heard one report of it
being less than long-term durable.  Time may tell.
