if i was to add a pair of linked sit down drivers to my game room (and move out the foosball table) what is your opinion of the best ones for home use?
 
Buy a pair of Rush the Rocks, just got one, very fun game and prices are reasonable..you wont be dissapointed..
 
You can't go wrong with Hydro Thunder either. There is a lot to do in that game, and racing against friends is always a fun time.
 
I've got a Rush 2049 and its a blast. I did the SE upgrade after having it a while just to change it up a bit and its still one of the most played games in my arcade. I just traded a Cruis'n Exotica because it never got any love at my place. I've heard Hydro Thunder is a blast, I might keep my eye out for a couple of those after I get another 2049 to link to the one I have.
 
rush the rock version?

i see many versions of rush...rush 2049...rush sanfrancisco....rush alcatraz etc
are they upgradeable? which ones the best? your opinions will help..thanks
 
The first is San Francisco Rush, you could upgrade it to "Rush the Rock".

Then came Rush 2049, you can upgrade it to the SE version

All 4 of them are good games. San Francisco Rush though has a strange driver board for the wheel that's very expensive to fix, and also the tubes in a lot of those cabinets are going bad.

Rush 2049 is newer, cheaper to work on, and has more stuff going on. Personally I like it better than the originals. It's a bit more expensive, though.
 
IMHO it really depends on what kind of arcade racer you are into.

The japanese/sega style or the US Cruise EuJarvis type of driver.

I think a Daytona Twin or Initial D linked twin are the best racers

I'm with you. My goal is to have 2 Sit down Rush 2049 machines linked with the SE chips for a few more tracks and cars, but it depends on your budget. I've seen rush / rush acatraz pairs go for under $1k and 2049 for more than $1k each (typical on the east coast)

Even though:

2049 SE > 2049 > Rush the Rock > Original Rush

ANY Rush > Most Other racing games out there.

Totally agree with you. In my book, Alcatraz took the top spot thanks in part to its fun, physics, and cost balance.

I wasnt counting 2049

But yeah

2049 > Hydro Thunder/Arctic Thunder > Rush > Cruisin Series

For young kids (3-6) Cal Speed is the best one.
 
My personal vote is Rush, but if you're looking to link a pair I can tell you that California Speed gets more love from guests.

+1. I had 3 California speeds linked. Was always the biggest draw. Plus you can launch fruit at people behind you... Always fun to taunt opponents by chucking a watermelon at their windshield...
 
i like the crusin series..you can run USA/WORLD/Exotica AND offroad challenge , just swap PCB's and steering boards around and your good to go..

i went from a offroad to exotica in like 3 minutes...easy swap...


i have EVERY board /marquee combo setting here at home, minus a world :(
