School's occupying a lot of my time so don't expect a whole lotta posts in the future but here's a quick one since I got the time.
Thanks to anonymous poster "-1" for finding this video. Now create a Google account and subscribe already. But the video's fun AND educational! It's about Virtua Racing. Though it's mostly blabbering up until 2:00 minutes:
It rehashes on a couple of things I didn't know before (or forgot), such as the fact the game was a prototype and not meant to be released and the giant Joypolis 32-cabinet setups. It was the first 3D racing game (Hard Drivin' doesn't count since it's a "simulator"), first 16:9 arcade game, and first racing game to feature four camera views.
This game doesn't get enough credit because of OutRun & Daytona but come on man, give Virtua Racing props. It even has funky music:
Who's the guy who goes "kkhhaann??" Oh, it's Captain Kirk.
