MK1 GTI ARCADE GAME...

Having seen the mk1 on Grand Turismo it reminds me of an arcade game which featured the mk1 long before playstation was invented, does anyone remember an arcade game called "GTI CLUB" it featured a silver mk1 with steel bumpers and a mini cooper and i think a fiat, you had to race through streets in turin i think and sea front cafe you even had a handbrake to do turns with....great game

wow thats sent me back, yeah i remember that cool game, as always i picked the golf every time.. looked like it was set in france from what i remember?

Yeah I remember it too! Loved it.  

You could take cheeky shortcuts through back streets and plough through cones, cafe tables/chairs.  It even had mud splatter, the first game I can remember which did.

Was it the first level with that stupid jump at the top?

A service station classic!  8)

They have it on Brighton Pier. The arcade right on the end.

Nostalgia corrupts memory I'm afraid.

It's rubbish!

I remember that one, I've been trying to find a ROM so I can play it on MAME, no joy so far. Was ok at the time. Will be nice if the mk1 gets into a modern 3d game though!

The handbrake was the best bit!

Cheers,

Drew.

From memory it was called GTI Club and could be found at a few of the service stations etc. I got a quote from arcade warehouse to buy the machine (sad I know) but they wanted ?1500 so I knocked it on the head
