G-Switch

A strange little side quest

Grombi trivia break for G-Switch: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game, decades before modern 3D racers. That is only half the story. A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. That long chain of experiments is part of why racing still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
