A little bit ironic (arcade racer w/ damn good physics)

I was at the local arcade with my two boys this weekend and we all jumped into a racing game head to head called "Rush the Rock - Alcatraz Edition". What a blast! This thing was as close to GPL as anything I've seen with regards to physics and force feedback. IMO it felt more realistic than Nascar3 or Rally Championship... How can this be? I thought arcade games weren't supposed to be so good! Rush the Rock is produced by Midway Games if anyone is interested. There's a pic at [link lost in import: /;I] guess they're actually hooking cities together for on-line tournaments with a project called WaveNet. If you get out to the arcade you owe yourself a race with this one. You won't regret it. It's a lot of fun :) David Cook

Hehe...a friend of mine and me were at the local MiniGold/Sunsplash last summer... When we got sick of all the slides and played a round of minigolf... I swear we spent $20 each at that machine!! It's really good fun (and the only one I've seen with a CLUTCH!!!! Lots of fun stuff there, i.e. spin saves, cheap shots...) -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA"

Didn't "hard driving" have a clutch? as well as an ignition key! 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

..not to mention one of the first games with Force Feedback... :) I don't remember if you could start the Ferrari with the clutch up or not... I found one at the Computer Museum here in Boston about a year ago, quarter-disabled but a little worse for wear --the shift knob was gone and the screen looked kinda harsh.... :)
