Hi, Glad to here that. As I have said earlier I have been greatly influenced by games like Nascar Thunder, and what currently passes for accessible racing games don't satisfy me or measure up to what I've played in the mainstream market. In fact, when I got my hands on the Raceway source and read James North's notes on the project my first reaction was disappointment. Basicly, the original concept for Raceway was to be something like the old Poll Position games for Atari. You would have a red, blue, green, and yellow car with a number of different types of tracks. It came with a track editor I assume he was going to release to the public so you could create your own tracks which was nice, but the over all game play was pretty dull and boring in my opinion. You played one race against three other cars on the track without any money, points, season mode, etc. It was just a plane vinila racing game, and to be honest Topspeed 2 was better than the original Raceway design. I decided to go back and rewrite the entire game from scratch the way I invisioned a racing game should be using Nascar Thunder as a template. As a result not surprisingly my new version is more like a mainstream title rather than something like Mach 1, Topspeed, Mega Racer, whatever. It has the influence of professional games in mind here. In fact, Raceway is so much like Nascar Thunder I lifted the exact keyboard commands from the game since I am use to them. You You use the control key for the gas, spacebar for the breaks, up/down arrow to shift gears, and left and right stear the car. The h key blows your horn, and I've added several additional commands for output such as s for speed, r for rpms, f for fuel status, g for current flag condition, d for damage, etc. So hopefully I'll deliver something slightly a cut above the rest.
