Racing Games

Tighten your seat belts, because this is the fastest episode of EP yet. Tommy Tallarico and Shiny Entertainment's Dave Perry cruise through a 20-year Racing Game Retrospective. From Enduro on the 2600 to Top Gear Rally, EP explores whether or not racing games make you a better driver in real life. Kelly Benson interviews CART driver, Greg Moore, and asks him how real today's CART simulations compare to the real thing. Our website's Executive Editor, John Shaw, visits H2O to find out how Tetrisphere creator, Chris Bailey, brought the game from the Atari Jaguar to the N64. Tommy breaks and then repairs some stuff at Namco's Arcade Division under the supervision of Gerry Mimota.
