Which to choose and which to avoid Choose: products with clear mineral labels (sodium and potassium listed), moderate carbohydrate (4–8% sugar for exercise), and added magnesium or calcium if you sweat heavily or have cramps.

  • Important!~: Playing on Dreamcast Emulator (Redream): To play on a Dreamcast emulator like Redream, ensure your system meets the minimum requirements: Windows 7 or newer, 1.8 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card with 256 MB VRAM, and 550 MB available space. Remember Redream is also in Android version, its really awesome to play on phone with gamepad - i do like that, and it easily beats some games like Wipeout or Rollcage. 


  • Important!~: I chose this game specially for You to remind you how awesome racing games were in older days, and that its still amazing to play them on for example phone. The feel of speed with correct settings on phone Redream emulator (240hz refresh screen) is just amazing. Stages are unique and to be honest its still one of my favourite racing games, also because of podracers! I highly advice to buy original cartridges to collect them for every Star Wars fan. I very like choosing 1st person camera with engines visible or 3rd person view for harder stages. Thanks to gamepad we can easily slide which is very important on harder stages with sharp curves. Also remember you can repair the engine during race with special droid repair button, as well as use turbo to fly over 1000 km/h even in some podracers! Remember also to tweak resolution and scaling, game really looks amazing even by today standards and runs very fluid. Speed feel and sounds of engines are just amazing. Have a good race!
