Initial D simulation game...

If you get the chance to visit Tokyo, this ride is pretty fun. Unfortunately, you cannot select the car you want to drive, and I thought I was going to get the FD, but was redirected to the AE86. Anyway, it was fun. FD was sporting a lot of Amemiya goodies, to include the Dolphin tail exhaust.






This is a video. I hope it works when you click it.

Cool concept but sadly Initial D4 is a crappy game just like the previous ones. It was fun 8 years ago when I was 17.

My apologies for the repost. I don't spend too much time in the lounge.

You are correct in that it is in Odaiba and @joypolis. I think technically the photos and video was illegal, but they were occupied and didn't really pay me too much attention (except as I was video taping).

It was an ok experience. I am glad to have done it, but it wasn't all that. It was pretty cool in that you were sitting in a real car and watching a huge screen. It did cost 500 yen to get in the complex and then 600 yen to drive. So, not cheap.

It's a scary place. I thought it had been posted earlier then that though. Still cool though.

Definitely not scared of the lounge. Just not interested in being BAW... Plus, nothing too useful in the lounge, but I guess the same could be said about the West forum. The West forum, where "search" is useless.

Yes, it is expensive and the ride does move a lot. The bottom pic I posted is actually a video, so you can see the cars move.

I like games but...that's ****** stupid, might as well go out and drive for real at that point. I can only see little kids really loving that game because they don't have a real car that they can climb into and drive like that.
