Racing Cubes with a PlayStation 2

All I need now is 15,000 credits…

Today we got our PlayStation 2 down from the loft to see if it still works. We’ve not had much luck with the PlayStation 1 - that had succumbed to a malaise that seems to have broken the CD player - but the PS2 works fine. We popped in a copy of Gran Turismo 3 and discovered that not only does the game work fine (and is still great fun to play) but you can also buy a Nissan Cube to “race”. As Cube driver (although not the model above unfortunately) this was all rather exciting. We were using a really fancy device that takes low resolution video signals and turns them into clean looking HDMI video. We are getting our retro games consoles together for the Hull CS50 celebrations and we should now have Gran Turismo 3 - with force feedback steering wheel…
