    Looks interesting. One big question about the offset screen. WHY?

    I wonder if they used eye tracking equipment to determine the optimal location for the LCD.

    I figure it'll be pretty fun, just based on what they did with Oktoberfest and Houdini. That display, though, oh man. Not just offset, but a little higher, further away from where the player is looking. I haven't played it yet but I'm curious to see how well the software and shots on the playfield give the player enough time to take in what's on the screen when there is something up there the player should see. That's pretty important in terms of fun. Also, as a home user, often a solo player, I don't like the whole "the screen is also for the benefit of onlookers" rationale.

    Indy 500 had a similar revolving car (under a clear plastic cover, for safety I guess). Indy 500 was an excellent game in my opinion. It helped that it had a lot of other toys besides the revolving car (the turbo booster that shot fast balls down the ramp, the Indy Car lock, the unique 4-LED targets). Maybe the best thing about the revolving car was that you could feel it, sorta like having a shaker motor.
