@@ughugh5829 Having the OG twin towers could be a nice homage to the era before what took em from the world. Depends on how it's interpreted. Directly after the towers fell, movie studios scrambled to edit out the twin towers from their films, which people hated and saw as disrespectful. Movies that kept them in got raucous cheers in the theaters. 🤷

This feels like a perfect PS1/Dreamcast era game.....but it only came out 4 days ago. What a lovely throwback gem. It would go perfectly with a Goldfinger soundtrack (Superman, 99 Red Balloons). You're like a perfect marketing piece for these under the radar racing games. I might buy this and try and beat your best time. I too really like my racing.

[@MariusUrucu]

For an arcade racer, it has a surprising amount of depth and potential for off the wall skips. Sadly, it doesn't have a lot of tracks, but they're so replayable and the game is cheap. And who knows, maybe more tracks will come down the line.

[@MariusUrucu]

Also, this run was more to finish in sync with the music, so there is room for improvement for beating this time. Good luck.

I'm more of electronic music (Eurobeat, DnB, Techno, Trance) guy when it comes to racing games. But soundtracks like Daytona USA where it has cheesy and upbeat feeling of a song... is also very enjoyable to my ears.

[@valutaatoaofunknownelement197]

Sometimes that's what we need. Something upbeat to uplift our mind.

[@donnycorn3086]

If put in the right context and build-up, even the cheesiest music makes for the best experience in gaming. Take Ace Combat and Flamenco, Shrek 2 and "Holding Out For A Hero", and the spiritual successor of that, Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker with "Love Deterrence".

[@ripoutyourprejudice]
