Default 355 Challenge Arcade Game

If you HAVEN'T played this . . . you must.

I'm wondering if there is anyone else here who does . . .

I'm running Monza in "Intermediate" (paddle shifters) turning individual lap times as low as:
1:50 and change

I've got the race (2 lap standing start) down to:
3:54 and change

I'm thinkin' its pretty good (got top scores and lots of people play) but I can CLEARLY see a second or more be found in both cases

Anyone?

Check out the internet rankings at...

The best time at monza is 1'37". I think it was done on a dreamcast, but the arcade and dreamcast versions are pretty much identical.

I kneel and worship the Dreamcast version of this game. I never had the pleasure of playing the "surround vision" arcade game, though. I wonder how much it would cost to own that.

Everytime when I goto Las Vegas I will jump on this game. It's Located in Luxor hotel Arcade. 2nd floor.....1 buck each play (ouch) There is another one in New York Hotel & Casino..... I love the game but I still cant master it because by the time I walk there....my alchol buzz hit me already....... So I just get on there and do watevers......

Dave and Busters have these games also. I've played both
here in San Jose and in Atlanta. It's great to fill up and guiness and play some 355.

355 Challenge kicks ASS! They have this at Gameworks, a Dave and Busters clone. The Monza course is my favorite, but I don't recall times...we fill up on Hacker Pschorr every time we go there...very cool. I'm with Sunchild, I would love to know how much this costs. I would build an addition onto my condo to house this bad boy...shoot, I'll just put it in the guestroom...I'll make guests sleep on the sofa!
