i feel your pain.

nice rides!

Quoted from pinball wizard

just a question like that ...how much a double  Daytona II worth??

It depends...  (...of course...)

As a guideline, I would think a working pair should go for $1300-1500 CDN.

If you get them for under $1000 you got a good deal.

I was lucky to get mine for less than $1000, but it had a few issues
(broken shifter, problem with the force feedback steering, and it would not link )

Still,  I know the only reason I got it,  was because few people had the means to transport them
and/or fit them in their house, so few people were able to buy it.

i just bought a pair of California Speed's this weekend, to go with my pair of Cruis'n USA's, so i know your pain,
i want a dual daytona next.

Eric

Now that I've been bitten, I'd like to test out and compare
the various driving games (from the mid-90's )

Between my Cruis'n and the Daytona, I much prefer the Daytona
because it's much more realistic to drive .

The graphics and dynamics of the Daytona are much better.
( Daytona had drift-steering 15 years before the movie "Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift" made it popular )

Cruis'n USA is fun (...especially when you hit a dear...)
but it feels alot more like an "arcade" game rather than a driving simulator.

That said, I'd love to try Cruis'n Exotica because the tracks are wild
(Dinosaures, Mars, Atlantis, etc.. ) and the graphics are much better.
(...anybody got an Exotica ?  I have a boardset, but I bought it non-working... )

I'd also like to try SF Rush to see how that feels.

Steph

I dont see a problem.  My problem is I can get my SF rush working.  .  

Don't forget California Speed (the ones i just bought) like Cruis'n Series, but some fun tracks (Driving through a mall / Driving on a Rollercoaster / Driving through a giant circuit board)

It's a lot of fun.

I like the older ones better because they are cartoonish, and fun, not so ultra-realistic, like some of the new ones that i can never see whats going on, nor can i control the car.

Dream gameroom would have

2 x Cruis'n USA
2 x California Speed
2 x Daytona
2 x San Fran Rush
2 x Daytona 2

That would be fun!

Eric

Luckily for me, i got addicted to pins before i got a chance to play too many linked drivers.... otherwise my game room would hav4e to annex the rest of the basement!!!

Looks good Steph!

At one point after spending some quality time on 2 person Crusin' USA, my son and I had our living room decked out with a PS2 and a couple of those radio shack force feedback steering wheel sets and were having a blast.  We were trying to re-create that arcade feeling.  Then there was a period of no use, so off to eBay they went.  Of course, ever since, my son says "I wish we'd kept the PS2 for the driving games".....

Hey Steph,  I have a couple of SF Rush The Rocks if you would like to try it and I might have two more coming in. In my opinion it is the most realistic driver from the 90's + all the hidden short cuts make it a pile of fun too.
