That was awesome!! I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children) I think Dreamcast ran at a much higher frame rate, it looked amazing. if any franchise needs a reboot is that podracer game. high speed gladiatorial races.

But they stuck with the kinda dumb Saturn layout, despite the Dual Shock being out for a couple years at that point. The keyboard and mouse support was an awesome addition, but a dual analog controller would have been awesome. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago It was mainly the fact that the games could easily be copied by anybody with a decent CD burner. Shortly after a game dropped, a guy would come around my work selling shady copies on cdr in jewel cases with bubble jet printed covers for $20. Can't sell a system if nobody is buying games.

You held one controller in each hand and used the joysticks as the left and right engine throttles. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I do!
