The design possibilities of a video game are intimately tied to the hardware through which the player interacts with it. The pixellated graphics of “Bush Bash” evoke classic arcade racing games such as “Outrun” (1987), which were played in specially-designed cabinets designed to resemble cars. “Bush Bash” takes this idea a step further by putting the game’s controls into the sawn-off front half of a real car. A screen mounted in front of the car shows the action. One player is the driver, and uses the steering wheel to control the game. The other is armed with a light-gun, another piece of 1980s gaming technology, and must shoot the screen clear of enemies.The design possibilities of a video game are intimately tied to the hardware through which the player interacts with it.
