We have this game in bellevue washington at the arcade here, hmmm current
running total is too much money to tell online...  But I am starting to get
stock in sega :) The game is called Sega F355 challenge. IT ROCKS, the first
time I over shot a turn and hit the wall I was panicked and had the this is
too real feeling.....
My favorite track is the Short course in Japan, I cant remember what it is
called.....
The game is great because you can turn off such things as Tractions control,
ABS, and stability control... The f355 must really be a handful with
everything turned off....
Later
