      OMFG THAT LOOKS FUCKING NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously the footage that's shown starting at around 6:30 has me creaming my pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God daaaaayum it looks hot!!!!

      Plus Tyrone confirming wheel support is HUGE!!! Thank you Tyrone!!! I hope that means great FFB support! Please please please Tyrone study the way the force feedback feels in Daytona USA, Daytona 2 and Scud Race, and try to mimic those great effects for 90's Racer. Also please allow those of us with separate USB driving control devices use them and map them to whatever analog and digital function we want.

      That plus multiplayer and I will be HEAVEN!!!!!! :D

      A fantastic question Aaron and one that I hope will be clarified soon.

      I hope Pelikan makes the FFB at least as good as Sega's in their Daytona 1 and 2 machines.

      700 backers..... Nice job, I only found out about this from cvg, glad I did and can be apart of it. I know we could all reel off our favourite games but I'd defo back a Ridge Racer project if they got the original to look this good

      Congratilation for going over the 15k bar! And thanks a lot for the Linux support. This OS deserves more great games like this. For the physical copy + digital download, it is possible to have the copy for one OS and the digital download for another ?

      I'm curious, the £60 reward mentions a disc of the art assets "to use however you see fit." Does that include use in other game development projects? Potentially commercial releases?

      I don't have any plans to use it that way (in fact, I'm going for a different pledge), but I'm curious if that was intended or not.

    30. Profilepic.small

      Creator Shaun Paul Johnston on February 17

      Added on an extra £5 to my original £10 pledge, I want that soundtrack muhahahahaha!

      Can't believe that the campaign is coming to an end after following it for the last few weeks and seeing things develop.

      I'm hoping with everything happening year, new consoles, E3, Nintendo finally getting some much needed momentum behind the Wii U, that the time flies by and before I know it, I'll be downloading 'The 90's Arcade Racer' on the eShop :)

      Let the good times Rrrroooollling STAAAAaaaaaaaart!

    31. Missing_small

      Creator Thomas Swift on February 17

      I'll buy this on the Wii U when it appears so no game download from me, but I hope 1$ helps a little :)
      Really looking forward to it; good luck.

      Creator Pelikan13 on February 16

      @Alexander R, unfortunately right now the rewards are only for PC/Mac and Linux versions of the game. @ Sebastian Alexander, the game will be out on android so there is a very good chance of an OUYA version although again, I can't commit to it right now.

      Creator Sebastian Alexander (deleted) on February 15

      Maybe AI cars can do both. Drifting could come later with a patch!?

      What about the OUYA port? Is it possible to get that version in this KS campaign? Otherwise, I'm happy also with the Linux version:)

    38. Missing_small

      Creator Dustin Johnson on February 15

      I just have one question: Will the AI cars drift around corners where the player has to? They usually don't in games like this and it's always bugged me.

    39. Profilepic.small

      Creator Shaun Paul Johnston on February 15

      I was looking forward to the final product anyway and with the latest update it's even better, so I'm pretty chuffed.

      An interesting little thing here, I was watching a speech by Jesse Schell at Dice 2013 and he's talking about how everyone is looking searching for some kind of utopia, whether it's in video games, the choices they make or whatever.

      Anyhoo, the underlying point was that a lot of companies these days use bullshit marketing to try convince you that they can give you that utopia only to let you down when you get the final product, when you realise it's nothing like the utopia they promised or you hoped for.
      Now in relation to The 90's Arcade Racer, I saw the project when it first started and it instantly sold me with it's visuals, taking me back to the good old days at the arcades playing games like Virtua Racing and Daytona USA. What's interesting though is these games are like fantasy worlds full of colour and making you feel like a badass race car driver. It's completely over the top, exactly what I want from a racer, in fact it's my utopia for a driving game.

      I find too many modern games, including racers, go for the realistic feel and as much as that can be fun, well it's just another version of reality in a lot of ways, the only difference is I get to control the cars. I play games to escape the mundane realities of real life so when games go for that hyper-realistic look, it's kind of defeating the point in my opinion.

      Watch the speech http://www.youtube.com/watch…, Jesse explains it way better than I ever could but my overall point is that this games ticks the boxes on so many levels and I'm so happy Pelikan13 & Nicolis are making it and that it's been funded successfully. Would be great to see the £20k and I'd urge everyone to spread the word, but either way it's gonna be awesome.

      "if it gets a Steam release people who have pledged will get a Steam key :) "

      That's great to hear. Steam greenlight is the correct place to start.

      is there any way for us to obtain a wii u copy of the game with our backing money or some kind of discount depending on how much we've pledged? i'm pretty excited to see this coming to wii u... but i'll definitely want it on pc as well

      Creator Fabien Di Pardo on February 13

      Hi Pelikan,
      I don't know if it's possible, or maybe too late, but maybe you should send a demo "build" (one car, one track) to the media.
      This week you got a news on 2 videogame website here in France... But maybe you would have a better impact if you had sent something "playable".
      I know it worked a lot for us on our crowd-funding on Ulule...
      Good luck for the final effort, i'm really looking forward to see you break the 15.000 !

    48. Profilepic.small

      Creator Shaun Paul Johnston on February 13

      Actually I just noticed the £60 pledge comes with 2 posters and the CD of art assets, sorry my bad ;)

    49. Profilepic.small

      Creator Shaun Paul Johnston on February 13

      Ahahah loving the £70 pledge, where you get to be a spectator around the track, brilliant!

      Pelikan13, would there be any way to possibly have posters or postcards made up of some of the screenshots, they're beautiful and I think a lot of backers would like to get a hold of them. Maybe an official poster with the logo on it and signed by yourself and the rest of the team, maybe just you and Nicalis even?

      I'd be happy to bump my pledge up to £15 if you added in something like that. I'd have to hear the rest of the soundtrack but maybe even £20 pledge would get you the soundtrack, signed artwork (poster/postcards), digital copy of the game and name in credits for backing the project. Now that would be pretty sweet ;)

      Thanks for this arcade racing game! And thanks for Linux support. There are a few racing games under Linux. I have some questions:

      1. Is it DRM-Free?

      2. Do you have future plans for this game?

      3. Do you plan to add Steam/Desura support?

      4. Can we have some updates before ending?
