Well, I cant say that I have any real experience with Sims lately, so Im not sure. However, RD computations could have very well been high power. Remember, these games didnt run a bloated windown environment.. and were programmed in direct assembly, Afaik. There may have also been mathbox shortcuts (pre-calculated equations). RD also has a pretty sick board set. I think theres like 3 to 5 large pcbs in the cab. Its been a while since last I looked.

Just for fun, I had to cut down your verbose reply.
Race Driving would not out profit DooM. How much would it cost you to get a big ole sit down dedicated race driving cab set up? How much would it cost you to get a computer running DooM? Do you know what profit is? It's revenue over expenses. exactly.
Just stop with this comparison.
Onto your second "point" , none of the games listed run on a "bloated windows environment" not even DooM. As for all this Baller 1989 hardware you speak of, if you add all all the CPUs together including sound and GPU they clock in under 300 MHz ( http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=770 ) Its not even a bunch of custom ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- either, just standard 68010s, TMS3401Xs, and ADSP-210Xs. I mean yeah they got a lot of performance out of it but its still a pretty crappy game. When you're a kid it feels like you're driving a real car, because when you were a kid, you hadn't driven a real car.
I do hafta ask you though, why do you think 6 wheel rotations is more realistic then 900* of rotation? Do you know how many degrees of rotation a real car usually has?

Or just the scrolling of my eyeballs!
I also experience what Malenko speaks of. And laughing at how he speaks about it. Dude, you need to custom sig this:
"The more I read of Exouche the dumber I get."

And, in the middle of all this discussion, we're forgetting the most important thing: does Gray_Area like leaf switches yet?

HEY. Good catch there. I haven't had a chance to play original Wicos.

You aren't missing out on much, apparently the only thing they are useful for is a 30 year old crappier version of Smash T.V.

...and there goes any credibility you have as a gamer, out the window.

Has anyone tried Smash TV with 4 inch Wico leaf sticks?
