Star Wars Episode I Racer Nintendo 64
Imagine Ben Hur in a galaxy far, far away. Replace the two-wheeled
carriage with a futuristic, hovering pod - now take away the horses and
strap two giant afterburner-powered engines to the vehicle. The boost of
the two fuselages pulls the carriage forward at speeds in excess of
600 mph and a stream of pure energy, called a mag beam or coupler, makes
sure that the engines don't fly off in opposite directions. Like its
"real," up to 40-foot-long counterparts in the movie Racer's pods use a
three-point dynamics system that will cause the carriage to
realistically drift in the air behind its two engines. Unlike the movie
which features 18 opposing racers Episode I Racer stars more than 21
characters complete with their rides, including three pods based on
original design concepts that weren't used in the final film.
