Namco Winning Run (Only Footage of audio on Youtube)

The first Namco game to utilize the system 21 or "Polygonizer" hardware "Winning Run" was released in 1988 and this video is a tribute to this not well heard of game (It's audio only as there is no footage of or very little footage of this game on the entire world wide web). It was way ahead of it's time, even before SEGA's Virtua Racing on their arcade hardware the model 1. I remember playing this game in the arcade many years ago and being completely blown away by the (then) state of the art graphics. It was never ported to a home console (Most of the consoles of the time struggled with even the basic sprites because 8-Bit was only available) But personally i think namco should make a disc with all the old arcade games (Especially system 21) for the Xbox 360 or the PS3. The music was composed by Hiroyuki Kawada and this particular sound is a track on the Winning Run G.S.M. Namco2 from scriton/pony canyon released in 1989 on tape and CD (Extremely rare example) Anyway Enjoy this small sound clip and pictures of namco awesomeness (More tracks form Winning Run to come soon so keep watching).
