San Francisco Rush Extreme Racing - Nintendo 64

Atari Games has done just that, and Midway is bringing it home.

Based on the original physics model of the meticulously realistic 80s coin-op racer Hard Drivin', San Francisco Rush brings the game up to date, packing a lot more horsepower.

The original arcade game - with eight different cars and four distinct handling characteristics (from beginner to full simulation), lush 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics-based visuals, numerous hidden shortcuts (from subterranean sewer runs to over-the-rooftops building jumps), and three fairly hilly tracks - clearly made an impact, even though being a realistic racing simulation clearly took a backseat to arcade-style fun.
