Flying Police Car Simulator

A strange little side quest

Even a quick game like Flying Police Car Simulator sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. A top Formula 1 tyre stop can happen in under two seconds; McLaren set a 1.80-second pit-stop record. A second detail makes the picture even better: In 1958, Tennis for Two used an analog computer and an oscilloscope to turn simple physics into a playable tennis-like demonstration. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
