Didn't Racemate have a version that worked with the original Nintendo
console?
I think Racer Mate still allows for interactive over the web racing.

Actually just get a Tacx trainer with the iMagic unit and plug into your PC
for simulated rides through the U.S. or Europe or virtual races on the road,
MTB, and velodrome with the Fortius software.

Yup, then we could have online races from the comfort of our living room.
Might actually make trainers interesting.
And no worries about getting numbers correctly pinned!

I'm not sure about the US version, but in the Japanese Wii
Fit version, there are also a lot of really good core-muscle and balance
exercises.
Yes, my 12 year son definitely enjoys Wii Fit.
