$$$ EXCLUSIVE GAME CLUB $$$

Ever get into a Penske Chevrolet, throttle up to 10000 RPM, and shoot down
the tracks of the Indy Speedway at over 200 mph?  Hear the racing engine
roar, hear the tires squeak as you zoom thru a 90 degree turn at top speed,
discriminate your opponent engine noise from yours as he slowly catches up 
with you.

I have been doing that for the past three months, and yes, (you guessed
it), it's on my PC.  NO, NO, NO!  The sound did not come from the feeblish 
PC speaker, neither was I holding a puny $10 joystick (sorry if I sound
obnoxious).  The sound, loud as a real racing car, comes from 80 watts
of hi-fi speakers, hooked to an amplifier and a Creative Sound Blaster card.
The "joystick" is actually a Maxx full-size airplane yoke, giving the 
simulation a real "feel" and sound environment.  The program, Indy 500, 
provides superb 3-D VGA graphics to compliment the sound, giving better 
than video arcade simulation atmosphere (get to sit in your very own lazy 
chair, dip down low like in a race car cockpit).

The "EXCLUSIVE" in the title refers to the ownership of better-than-average
accessaries for your PC gaming setup, like the full-size steering wheel (ok,
its a yoke), rudder padel, voice-recognization hardware (found any games 
that use it yet?), sound card, etc.  Of course minimum 286 12Mhz and color
VGA is compulsory.

Next time, LHX, the next-generation US Army attack helicopter!
