I've given up on my dream of ever seeing Death Race emulated on a PC. Moore's law hasn't really been helping the way I thought it would 20 years ago. Just for fun I tried doing Tank, I think it was, in VB6. I knew it wouldn't work, but just wanted to see what the structure of the code would look like. It just drew the playfield, but you could see the electron beam moving slowly across the screen. I thought with PC speeds doubling every year that it wouldn't be long.
I do still have a Death Race out in the garage where it has been sitting waiting for me to fix it all this time. Actually, I guess it's been like 4 different garages now. I really think this is the year though. When I fix it, I'm going to mod it for color. Maybe add a switch so you can select BW/Color.
