"Slip Stream 93"...the racing simulation in PC-98

Sorry for my retrospective "geeky" articles with my passions and


"auld lang syne"....for the fruition of PC-98 series as the first


and possibly only "the PC with Japanese original programming system"..




That's the "Slip Stream 93"...the series of the racing games as


semi-simulation which featured some designs of actual models


like Nissan Skyline GT-R, Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach,


Honda(Acura) NSX, Mazda RX-7 etc....with the incognitos for


them possibly because of some obstacle of copyrights which


costs them so expensive...just my guesstimate for that...


This game was...one of the archetypes of the Gran Turismo...


as driving simulator and Ridge Racer as drifting games...


despite the severe controls or responses of the cars in that


games....hahaha.


Moreover, it was so rare and avant-garde to see those kind


of polygonal graphics in 90's....like Virtua  Racing by Sega...


Due to that "advancing" and "amazing" views...


it was flabbergasting and exciting for me to "drive the cars in the


polygonal racing moments..."



After the release of "93", the deluxe version of the former one


as Slip Stream "Rev Limit" was released...that's my first and


only one for series...which also featured some Formula 1 cars


as McLaren Honda, Williams Renault, Ferrari, and Benetton Renault...


with the incognitos for them due to the "copyrights owned by FIA..."


Weirdly, you also could drift in the course by...those F1 cars....hahaha.



Anyway, enjoy "the opening movie" of Slip Stream as retrospective


and still...exciting one for fans...!!
