hey, i've been wanting to show you something
in F-Zero GX, that scifi racing game i keep yapping about and constantly say how peak it is, there is a vehicle — the Rainbow Phoenix —
that's basically an F-14
it even has working variable geometry wings, and is one of two machines that have animated parts in-game, though it works opposite to how it should: in normal driving it stays swept back, when boosting it moves to the forward position
not only that, it's decently competitive and
really nice to drive, it has insanely good "grip" when racing and sounds
more like a jet compared to the other machines in the game
