Imho, we need more racing games. USA raceway is coming out (which I can't wait for), but well, I don't know. I think it would rock if we could have a game where, well, I guess USA raceway would do that- but hmmm Damien, danger city sounds sweet. Its like those streets of rage games- so, I'd be more than willing to pay for that, and anyone who isn't- well, I guess that's not there cup of tea, which would suck. But that does suck majorly about your finanncial situation- and if things don't work out, I'd say collidge and living expenses first, then games, if you have extra cash- but we can't forget your personal things- maybe you want a new stario or some such...
