It would be cool, but just get 6 deep, play COD and keep drinkin till you pass out, repeat. Craving met.

might check out the nitto 1320 legends game too. Nothing to do with diesels, but pretty realistic in the fact that it takes the facts that are important and actually makes them important like how you launch and gear ratio.

LOL my cousin an I were just talking about this the other day. There is a strong enough following I think to where even a "Flash" game like the Nitto 1320 Legends game would be cool.

I honestly think that a pulling game would make it though. It wouldnt have to be purely diesel based either. It would be neat to have something in detail were you start out pulling work stock and work your way up pulling or something. However as i haven seen it yet its probably not gonna happen. Who do we have to kidnap to get this in the works?

i think that if you could get the pull assocations or companies that have a interest in pulling( i.e ATS,Valair,Southbend,Edge,etc) to back it then it would happen but until you find a hobby game creator to ruff it in or some one to put major bucks up to create it then i dont see it happening.
However i would love to see a diesel or pulling centered game.

If you could find some big name sponsors like that, who would throw money at a game, it would cost probably 10-100k to produce. I spoke with the guys who created, and maintain the Nitto Legends game, and they say it's an expensive program.

It could be easily done too... If and when you play nitto, you start out with a stock car, and a list of upgrades. As you move from city to city, more upgrades are available, creating more power. It would be something worth looking into further...if you could find enough companies to put some money together.

Probably wont happen. No demand or market for a diesel video game.
How many older people would have a xbox let alone buy a video game?

Remember those Big Rig games??? They never turned out to be anything special.

Oh..no...it would never make it to a platform system like Xbox or PS3. This would HAVE to be a flash game. I'm sure it can be done, like I said...it's finding someone to produce the game, and maintain it that will cost a pretty penny.
