It is hard to believe the excitement the release this game caused, all because it could be bought with a revolutionary new steering wheel. As it turned out, this breakthrough in technology involved a little bit of plastic that clipped on to the keyboard and mechanically depressed the rubber keys. Sound bad? Well, the game itself was far worse!Other Images (click or select to view larger version)
