I agree that Outrun would be my ultimate racer, but I'd have the same problem with my two previous race cabs: I don't think playing racing games while standing give the real experience. Especially with the Power Drift I had that feeling because I used to play the full motion sit-down version, which made it a brilliant game. The upright didn't give half the feeling of it for me. Outrun would be exactly the same. Maybe we were spoiled here in Holland but all those games always seemed to be the full size motion versions. In fact, I never even -knew- there were upright versions of Outrun and Power Drift untill I started collecting....
Crazy Taxi is also an upright but it has (or can have) a seat attached to it which is just enough to give you more of a sit down game feel. I've played it like that in an arcade on Lanzarote and that worked for me.
The other benefit of CT is that you can play various racing games on the same hardware, which is of course very cool. Also, I want a machine that is working right away. Need and want to spend time on finishing my Ms.Pac, MB/DK and LL (coin door), fix some vector monitors and of course there is a Q*bert begging for restoration....
I am indeed happy that its going to Polderarcade, that way it won't be too far out for me
and I hope he can make one great HD out of both machines. It's also kinda funny the machine is returning to where it had been stored for a while already.....
