TXR2 especially is a wonderful game — absolutely gorgeous car models and customization, brilliant music, the perfect Shutokou-cruising vibes. I miss that series dearly. Read more

Sega GT was awful! The sequel on Xbox was so much better Read more

Amazing story and thank you for sharing it! I love that sort of attitude around making games back then. Current technology couldn’t realize a 1:1 representation of Road America anyway, so why not just exaggerate a bit? Not like most players would have been able to tell the difference anyway.
