I think it could have all the name brands, I bet the marine industry would love the exposure. Last years the video game industry earned 13.5 billion dollars, that's allot of people playing video games, and if I were manufacturers I would want a piece of that. If it was done right, realistic like the Forza series I think it would be huge. Also remember what's the average age people buy boats?? In there 30's, the new average age of video gamers is also in there 30's........:drink:

Forza and Gran Turismo 4 (my personal favorite) would be great games to base it on.Both are very realisitc and popular

i am a video game junkie and i would want nothing more than a boat game man it would never leave my console

I think there was a loooooong thread about this like 3 or 4 years ago. A guy on here was going to make an offshore racing game and was getting opinions from everyone on what to have in it. I think then he realized it wouldn't be a high selling game and bailed on the idea. It was one of the first threads I ever read on here.

No.

But a pinball version....

(sorry, old guy)

Here's something I found on the web, test your self. My highest top speed on the Trim game was 112mph.

took me about 20 min but i finally got 112

112 mph my highest

I was the one who pondered the idea a few years ago when I was single and extra time on my hands. :) Unfortunately nowadays I have very little spare time with family and work that I could never free up enough time to get started. :( I think it is a great idea and I also think it would sell very well if marketed appropriately. I really wish I could get out of the fast lane of life and devote some time to this.

I remember the old thread and i still think it would be an awesome game. Just not enough of an audience to make it worthwhile to the developers.

I would be cool to make it two player, with one guy working the throttles and trim and the other one driving.
