hi all,

since someone appears to have spotted it,
should mention that I was lead designer of
"Tank Racer" (PC and Playstation, only out
in Europe at the moment via Grolier Interactive,
hopefully licensed to the US and Japan soon),
and there are indeed Rephlex logos all over
the game - there's a Rephlex background to
the GUI and you can run over Rephlex signs
in your tank in-game. :)

This is due to the fact that our lead artist,
3891919/w, is a big fan of the label (as am I), and
so he insisted on some free advertising in there -
we got written permission from xxx@xxxxxxx,
incidentally.

Actually, we were talking about asking Cylob
to do the sound effects for the game at one
point, hah. Would have been nice to have an
all-Rephlex soundtrack but we didn't have that
kinda budget, and it would have been a _bit_
leftfield for a fun racing game - Mono211 artists
(http://www.mono211.com) ended up doing
the soundtrack in a sorta breakbeat/d+b style
which worked really well, i think..

regards,
