I'm just hoping that from now on people simply choose games that are playable.  Thus far we've had two games with the yellow warning screens and a game with a steering wheel we can't possibly replicate on a home setup. 

When they have a warning screen it's a crap shot.  The first one was ok, but the second... well I think that's why some of us were getting really bad flickering.

So a simple rule like "games must be marked as working and games must use a standard analog steering wheel" should suffice.

I vote dictatorship.  :)

Things you may of not known about hard drivin'

1)  Hard Drivins Force Feedback at Max level, can be used to winch an 18 wheeler out of the ditch.

3)  HDs  wheel is made of solid gold.

4) HDs wheel is huge.  They are using one for a ferris wheel in london now.

5) HDs Pedals are again, a revolution in the industry. Before this no arcade game had pedals. Neither did actual

cars.

  5a) The Brake, has a rubber.

 5b) The entire pedal assy was forged from the same fires of Moloch wince the wheel came.

 6)  The Sitdown Shifter, uses a massive hand fitted diamond balltop. It took hundreds of ethoiopians decades to

create this master piece.

 Additionally the shifter assembly was made by combining 4 "golden gate bridge" class I-beams together. People in

the future have carbon dated these back millions of years.

 7) It was the only game I know of, that used an electro magnet that would normally be in a junk yard for the

seat lock. Also the seat featured an ejection seat like one you would see in a fighter jet. I know of many ops

that had to replace their roofs daily.

 8) HD also features a full enclosure, Atari actually contracted with GM to make real cars for them, then they

ripped out most of the guts and replaced them with HD's superior mechanicals.

 9) HD is the first racer to use a brake. All arcade games before it just had a pedal there for looks, they

didn't actually do anything, and since no one ever used it, no one was the wiser.

 10) HD's physics were created by NASA. This was the whole reason behind the moon landing hoax. The whole apollo

program was a front to funnel funds into the Hard Drivin' program. Atari then disabled all this because it's a

coin game after all. That's why your car can, in addition to flying backwards at 60mph after hitting the barn at

5, randomly fall through the road and explode, can do backflips over other cars like the Blue's Mobile, and last

but not least, the reason that a dump truck is going around the f***ing stunt loop.

I also think daytona USA was an awesome simulator.

 11) HD was also one of the only arcade games that required a trip to the DMV to get your license and

registration before playing.

 12) HD was also one of the only arcade games you could (had?) to get car insurance for. I think the other one

was wacky wheels.

 13) The game has ability to have (I believe), a hook up to every screen on the planet simultaneously through a

proprietary wireless network (thanks to NASA again).

14) All of this wasn't cheap, many ops had to refinance their businesses and thus the roots of the housing market

crash can be traced all the way back to HD.

My memory is a little fuzzy.



Now that was fun, who's up for HD Airborne?

Malenko:
I misread his #14 as an extra car, which was street driving, Im glad he admitted he was wrong about their being another track in the game that is currently being played int his competition though. his quote-fu kinda sucks.

TC: that's pretty funny!

TacticalChaos:
I don't know if the championship lap would qualify, since there are no other cars on the track (even your opponent isn't really there). But I've included it anyway.
The bottom pic is captured before I made a complete second lap...anticipating I would and that the "last" time would be wiped out if I did, good thing to keep in mind.

Malenko:
Thats better than my best time on legit hardware :/   

hey badmouth, maybe its not a bad idea to kill this one early =)
