I know this probably isn't specifically suited to this newsgroup but since everyone is talking about new sims such as a Rally sim, Touring cars and especially a 24 hour race, my idea was: How about a Tour De France game? Imagine some of the in game features: Magnificent SVGA scenery of France Setup your bike before each day depending on type of terrain and race Variable weather: From Hot weather to Snow! Crowd as obstacles If you crash into another rider you enter Fight Mode (As in NHL 96) Up to 200 player Network Play! A game that will literally last for weeks! As you can see i'm sure it would be a best seller. -- _________________________________________ / 'Senna spinning!

Yeah, and it should be able to interface with an old exercise bike for the full realistic experience... Mike T. -- Voice: +44 (0)113 297 9797 Fax: +44 (0)113 297 9798 Snail: BJSS, Capitol House, Bond Court Leeds, LS1 5SS, England

Hey it could be a game if there was a way to get an exerise bike hooked up to it.Then it really would be realistic and a good way to get in shape>

The "AI" wouldn't have to change, but you could adjust the tension or resistance on your excercise bike to keep up with the rest of the users.... Competitions could break out as users log into a multiplayer service and run races in *** locations against other humans. Will this make me exercise? Nah.... Mike

You could then connect "AC" Power to the Excercise Bike seat to s(t)imulate the bumps of the roads for a more "realistic feel"!!! Scott.
