« on: August 05, 2010, 10:27:54 AM »

Take an old German Nürburgring cabinet, a remote controlled car, a camera etc… and you get Wipeout. Sort of…

Ahhh, he should have just MAMEd the Nurburgring  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just kidding, I think this is a BRILLIANT idea. Yes I saw the Nurburgring for sale a couple of time on German e-bay. The rack of cards that form the computer of the original game is SCARY !

By the way Nurburgring deserves the honor of being the first racing game with a moving seat set-up that follows the motion of the car !
