This game HAS to be preserved, that is a given. The game is just dull and pointless, the joys of riding around on a track with pretty graphics. Yes it is an opinion, backed with actual experience of playing it.
Many operators just had it around as furniture. It was either off or just not working. I can think of four arcades local to me (at the time) that had them.
Freedom Fighter is a game I have not played. Is it any good? (well hopefully better than escape from cyber city) Probably not, but it is a game that needs preserving too.
Why all the hum glum? The game is being simulated right?
