Race Drivin' = must buy for me
What a thing to stumble across in an arcade next to the Golden Axe machine... full size wheel with *powerful* force feedback motors, H-shifter, clutch, simulation physics, etc. Too much fun. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?...R&game_id=9226 |

Though, HT and SFR 2049 were damn near perfect on the DC, I'd still like to see them on the Xbox....STUN Runner was a no-brainer as it got cancelled for the last compilation...what really gets me about this compilation is the arcade perfect(hopefully) SF Rush! Very cool that they are putting in "The Rock" edition(like the N64 version had hidden in it). Race Drivin' would be nice, but if they **** up the control on it like they did with Hard Drivin' on the last compilation, it'll be a best... Man, I was keeping the N64 around *just* for SF Rush and a few other games...but damn, time to sell that piece of **** now....SF Xbox all the way baby!

I can't get too excited. While Midway made some kickass driving games, I
never played them in the arcades. I own the first 2 Midway Classics, though. Jonah Falcon |

I wonder if they'll aim for the $20 price tag again for something lower as there are only 8 games on there this time around...
