In other countries, it was expensive and not profitable to buy all the fresh new games, so parlors just bought the popular games and kept using them until the machines fell apart... Still, they gave people good memories, while they lasted, which is good enough. H. M.

In the U.S., machines were generally bit outdated & you pretty much had to drive to get to one. I still had fun. :)minicarpics164https://www.blogger.com/profile/04567606249250112625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030630249959125568.post-5228012499102380372016-01-16T11:56:06.342-08:002016-01-16T11:56:06.342-08:00Well that's odd...

I see, thanks for clarifying. Not quite as good as Sega Rally, but still, it's a nice way of learning about the greatness that is the Castrol Celica... H. M.

Shame about that one, but the car itself is pretty good.<br /><br />An arcade game? Could it be Sega Rally? It has a Celica, and it was a very popular arcade game in the early 90s, so the shoe fits....H. M.

When shopping for my first CM's, that definitely came into play on picking out which cars to try out. Unfortunately, due to high market prices then, it wasn't until another year or two later I finally got the Celica I initially wanted. THEN, it came in damaged with broken rear wheel(superglued together now), so I ended up getting that one for free. :Dminicarpics164https://www.blogger.com/profile/04567606249250112625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030630249959125568.post-13881046645211268332016-01-12T09:28:30.488-08:002016-01-12T09:28:30.488-08:00My word, the nostalgic feelings I'm getting ri...My word, the nostalgic feelings I'm getting right now... That car just brings backs those fun days when I was a wee nipper, joyfully playing Colin Mcrae 2.0's demo in my trusty Playstation. And boy, where those the days. <br /><br />It also helps that CM's casting is nearly flawess, the Focus is a work of art. All it's missing are the writings on the rims, as well as proper resin taillights, the fault you mentioned...H. M. Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940024182028084909noreply@blogger.com
