    Fantastic news! GTI Club: Rally Cote D'Azur was a great arcade game (it was never available on the PC but I presume that it is playable on MAME) which saw you charging around the south of France in a selection of hatchbacks like the Golf GTi, Mini Cooper and Renault 5. It was notable for having lots of shortcuts and also handbrake for navigating tight hairpins corners. What's going to be potentially very exciting is the online multiplayer mode, as the arcade also had a 2 player "bom tag" mode where you drive around with a bomb that counts down that you have to tag to your oponent.

    Here's hoping Konami brings Winding Heat to the PS3 as well.

    Reminds me of Choro Q but without the super deformed cars and add on gadgets.
