    My son is a gamer. I see him playing some games where you can select some retro cars to drive. Do any of these games have copycat Mavericks in them?

    grand theft auto san andres had a car that kinda looked like a mix between a 70's maverick/nova/demon... nothing too specific tho

    me and my friend were playing that scar face game a while ago and there were alot of old cars riding around. no mavericks that i seen but it may be a good place to look too

    without Comet now just keeping in touch
    What I want to do see is vidoe game whether computer or console game that allows a separate file that allows you to to scan a pict of your car and have it upload to the game, even program it with handling characteristics etc, How cool would that be to scan in your own car say a front, side, side and rearview , and have it on your video game!

    If they really have the Maverick Stallion and Comet in the game, it wouldn't be a stretch for them to setup a Grabber, or GT. I wonder if there is some way to ask them to include it in the future?

    We need to make up a massive petition to send to video game companies DEMANDING some maverick appearances. I'm a major gamer and nothing could be sweeter than seeing a maverick in a grand turismo, grand theft auto or need for speed game. Yeah, the sabre in gta san andreas is sort of close, but it's more of a pastiche of several '70s rides than a real maverick.

    I know on Forza Motorsports 2 on xbox 360 you can get on xbox live and download new tracks and CARS to your hard drive, so it may be an option to have someone that does these new cars make a maverick for the game. :yup:

    This makes me think that the way games are evolving pretty soon we'll be able to put content into games that we ourselves make (The content I mean, not the game). Maybe that's our only hope for a maverick appearance in a game..... good point.

    Not that I know of, I play only on consoles too, except Civilization IV which is probably the best strategy game ever.

    I think the last game I played that could be considered strategy would be rampart for genesis.
