Research and Development

As part of our development process we test and trial new technology and for this we concentrate on the gaming community. This is because gaming systems are constantly pushing the boundaries of technology and development. They also give us a demanding environment to test our components.

Trackmania Nations

Trackmania nations is a free download game with a large following. Designed for the Electronics World Cup it is a fast paced, internet based, car racing game with thousands online at any given moment. The dedicated server has a software control interface but no officially published tools for management.

Shore Systems has developed a controller to fill that gap and improve on other controllers that are available in the gaming community.
