Cascadia Games
The TGB Kart Kit provides a foundation for the rapid creation of retro 3D racing games in Torque Game Builder or Torque 2D for iPhone. It has been designed to run on PC, Mac, and iPhone.
The TGB Kart Kit lays the technical foundation for a "mode 7" style racing game such as F-Zero or Super Mario Kart.
