Hello Thomas. I think that easy games are very cool, by easy I mean not having 4 sets of 3000 keystrokes. alt and f tell you this. ctrl+t tells you that. f tells your the direction you're facing. Fun games, I'll admit, are usually hard, at least for me, and a game that's easy just has no replay

Hi Che, Look at it this way. You have the RR source code so if you want to produce a Formula 1 racer you can always change the code to make a Formula 1 racing game. Perhaps it will sell, and perhaps it won't. It's hard to say given the poor reception Rail Racer has had so far. Though, I'd like
