World Racer
In September 2005, the Computer Department at Grimsby Secondary School decided to create an arcade machine to raise funds for the department. The Computer Engineering class was to design and construct the machine, while the Computer Science class was to design games for the machine. As member of the science class our addition to the arcade machine was a port of the old ExciteBike for NES. On release the game was originally called Continental Racer, but the title was changed to World Racer when “Continental Racer” was deemed an awkward title.
