I've heard about it. I didn't know it was that cool though. Doesn't the seat look like the cockpit?

 

Like my new sig?

Even though I haven't played Racer in a long time.. it would be great for parties with a bunch of friends. ; )

I don't know, haven't played it. I have never seen it live either (no arcades around here have it). I have read though that it has a control bar (see picture).

 

I imagine it is supposed to be more like the "real thing" from the movie. But the gameplay is supposedly like the PC/console versions. But I can't say for certain as I haven't played it.

My brother has played it. He really had fun with it! I don't know if there are Camelot Parks where you guys live (it's a miniature golf place), but that's where he played it.

There is a Camelot right by a fries off the freeway, on, I think, Kraemer street.

Man, I wish I could try this one out. ; p

 

Arcades are disappearing left and right.. it's sad really. I love arcades!

 

I noticed Dreamcast games are getting marked down (due to changes in Sega's corporate strategy), and I see DC Racer is among them. Anybody played it?

Star Wars Trilogy, another great SW arcade game...

Both are (as usual) Quality Sega Games. biggrin.gif BTW, the Arcade Pod has 2 handles like in the movie, that's how you control it. smile.gif

BTW, DC Epi. I racer is basically the PC version with a newer graphics. Altough the Arcade version is a completely new game. (PLEASE SEGA, BRING THAT ONE TO THE DC!)

That would be cool. And since Sega is the company that did SWT, that would be an even more "natural" release.. ; )

I played it once and was really disappointed. I expected something like my PC version, but it travels at the pace of NasCar, and handles like a hovercraft. The controls are twin handles where full thrust is both handles forward, to turn you pull back on whichever stick that is in the direction you want to turn. I found them very awkward. Anyway, I lost in about one minute since I couldn't make the checkpoints, and stuck with Star Wars Trilogy Arcade instead. Now that game rocks.

 

Oh, if any of you are looking for a place that has Arcade Racer, I played it at Aladdin's Castle. So it might be there if you have one close by.

 

Happy Gaming.
