What a vibe

I heard the announcer voice as soon as I saw the image. Waverace!

Have you seen the sarcastic announcer from the GameCube game? It's pretty funny

Going from the bleeps and bloops of the 8-bit gaming era to VR is quite a leap. VR was the realm of scifi, and now it exists as a reality. Is it perfect? No, and the steep psychological learning curve can be off-putting to some, but it's really good even as it is now.

This is three dimensional and the water reflects what is above?? The future is now!

I don't think it reflects, it's just slightly transparent and the object extends under the surface.

In those days, when you entered a room in a game that had very shiny tiles that reflected the room, it was simply a copy of the room, upside down and flipped, and the floors were transparent. It created the illusion of reflection.

the ~~PlayStation~~ Nintendo 64 can produce mind-boggling effects.

I really love the atmosphere and ambiance of Wave Race 64

Wave Race!

I remember I somehow owned a Gameshark at one point and figured out how to add in Turbo and Big Head mode. I also dimly remember the title music for the game, which was awesome.

Splashdown was the gen z equivalent. Loved those racing games.

Splashdown had like a sea monster that would throw you back if you went outside the map. Was fun
