Rollercoaster Rush

A strange little side quest

The next time Rollercoaster Rush asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. 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: Pong was field-tested in California bars in 1972 and helped launch the modern arcade-game era. Not bad for a few facts hiding behind a Play button.
