Re. first link: You'll need to check your local arcade for that one, unless you are thus flush with funds that you can actually buy the arcade cabinet.

Re. second link: It says that it is still in development, so just be paitient.

he said he was playing it today at his local arcade in dublin
grrr belfast doesnt have a good games arcade
train fair + credits for game = toooooo much money

[MIsc^|^decoy]

here joe get a large van and we'll nick it from the arcade say that we are going to repair it

[MIsc^|^decoy]

but there is a game out for the ps2 and it looks prety much the same as the arcade and the best way to play it is with a wheel and pedals

PS a good mag to look at to find out about co-op ports is EDGE, they might/will run a feature on this if it gets ported to a home format

[MIsc^|^decoy]

EDGE? ( some mag?)

Decoy, me and my cousin share a PS2 (close family) we chipped the thing once the warranty ran out, I got the ps2 game from japan,
www.citycyberanime.com , had some in stock, I got it after i watched the Anime, it is a great game and watch the anime to
Wheels' Avatar has a small shot of the mian charachter doing his signature move!

[BulletMagnet]

Is it 'The-Wheel-In-The-Raingutter' move?
Sounds like Wheels after a heavy night out....lol

Decoy, I suppose you could go nuts and go to a local welders and have a frame made in which you could fit an actual racing seat (Sparco Torino would be nice choice) and a sixpoint harness. Then add the PS2 and Wheel/Pedals and a nice 42 inch LCD TV. Sorted

Or buy one of these
Serious Racing Gadget (http://www.gadgetryblog.com/gadgetryblog/2004/10/the_ultimate_ga.html)
Scroll down for the pics

SWEET!!!!!!! im going nuts here......... but it seems to be, maby a litle small inside.and its prety much 6,000 euros, hmmm i guess icould have my bro and dad to put money into it(my older bro playing collin mcrae or granturismo 4 an so on, as for my dad , prolly find a game with a lexus or some ancient.

but what about this http://www.gadgetshop.com/eshop/product.asp?pf_id=18733
jsut place the 5.1 speakes aound me and the woofer right up my arse

[BulletMagnet]

Well Decoy, it's not that small inside, it just replicates real life scale racing cockpit.
If I had the money, I'd buy one (thinks of fans that simulate driving wind).

The gadget shop item looks a little flimsy. I think this mainly cos it's a fold-away kit. after lots of use the hinges might grow weak, and in a moment of adrenalin fueled racing action it might collapse on your arse, hurting you in the process.

But seriously, going the DIY way (with a little help from your local welding shop) it might be just the way to go.

PS2 : you already have
Logitech GT3 Force Feedback Steering Wheel And Pedals: £54.99
Sparco Torino Seat :£599.99
Subframes/Sliders for Seat: £50 - £150 ( although if you get your specs right for the custom frame, the sub frame could be part of the structure, then you wouldn't need subframes, just the seat sliders for £50
42 inch TV with surround sound: around £2500 (give or take a few hundred depending what you want)

So far that adds up to £3300 ( about 4800 euros)
So all you need now is the frame, if your lucky, you might have a friend that knows how to weld you one, or you might find a company that could make you one.








But then again you might aswell buy the Serious Racing Machine............
(No trail and Error, they already done all the R&D, and the finish looks really nice)

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

ffs he could buy the games machine that started this post for that :)

[BulletMagnet]

He sure could, but then there'd only be one game on it, with the other option he can play loads of games

[MIsc^|^decoy]

ive found something interesting

LAN??????

[BulletMagnet]

The twin machine is 16000 Dollars?!?!?!?!? are you insane, just play ONE game?
Even 9000 dollars for the single one is madness
I suppose you could let all your friends play it at £1 per credit to get your money back.
For arguments sakr lets say the machine is £10000, that means if you have 6 friends play once a day for 4 years (all 365 days) then you'd get your money back. Of course if they play twice a day that figure obviously halves, etc, etc...


Did I mention you can only play one game on it?

[MIsc^|^decoy]

i see your point.

im not saying that im in addiction to get it, its just something i found .

and yet ifi buy it and rent it to an arcade what about that
