Racing classics

March 11th, 2005

Can’t believe I missed this the first time around but “Midway is releasing a 3rd edition”:http://www.nintendo.com/newsarticle?articleid=928f919f-2aa7-42c3-940c-e9192b8b17ec&page=currentNews in their Midway Arcade Treasures series. Why should I care? Well the first two included one of my all time favorite racing games in the form of “Super Sprint”:http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9952&letter=S and “Championship Sprint”:http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7312&letter=C.

Midway Arcade Treasures 3 is going to include yet another excellent racing classic, “Super Off Road”:http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=I&game_id=12843! And not only that, they’ll be including the bonus track pack for more racing fun. Problem is the game won’t be available until Fall ‘05

As a young lad these two games where my vice. Anytime I’d be near one of these machines be it at a mini-golf course or the local pizza parlor I was more interested in bumming coinage than putting and eating. I haven’t played much Super Sprint lately as both my wife and Autumn seem to have control issues It is a lot different playing with a Gamecube controller than the arcade steering wheel but no freaking way I’m buying them wheels just so their cars don’t explode into the walls. It’s all just part of the game, right?
