Racing car games were given their own space in the Racing Zone – nicely placed in an area between the main room and the trader/gaming/food concourse, so there’s a lot of footfall – with a Ridge Racer sit-down cabinet, a stand-up Crazy Taxi machine complete with pedals, Gran Turismo 4 head-to-head on the PS2, and one other which the less-than-wonderful camera on my JXD 7800B handheld console has masked out the title of…. (I would’ve used my phone, but towards the end of the day, it was running out of battery)
Turnarcades were also present with their custom-built machines, some very compact and bijou while – as per the third picture – they had a unit which could project onto a massive screen, and below that is its control unit, that picture taken at the end of the day. I have an arcade machine from Turnarcades of my own which, if you’re on Facebook, you can see here.
