(Galloping Ghost June '23 Trip)
I understand the hype behind this one - while it's a bit more challenging than Outrun 2 or R4, it is super satisfying to overtake dozens of cars within the limited time given. I never won in the arcade version - maybe someday I won't be filtered.

Daytona USA is probably one of the most important games of all time, it was a pioneer of 60fps gameplay in the 3D space, it was also one of the first games to use texture filtering. While all of the tech behind is neat the important thing is the game is still quite fun in of itself. While the content within the game itself is quite limited it is still fun to learn the car and truly master the courses within the game.
2 STARS: I LIKED A COUPLE THINGS
Not a generous score for such a legendary game, but I'm not good at it, and didn't have fun in any of my attempts. I'm glad I got it before Xbox removed the 360 version from the store.

Your first powerslide in Daytona USA is something to remember because no other racing game has handling this good for arcade style racers.
dayTOOOONAAAAAA
Racing canβt get cooler than this game.
DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LET'S GO AWAY
LET'S GO AWAY
This game gives me so much positive vibes in how it utilizes its aesthetic and cool soundtrack that it motivates me to keep playing and getting better at it. Sega Arcade experience at its finest.
DAY-TOE-NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If only this had waited for the 3DFX or MMX chips, we could've had a near arcade perfect port, what we get instead is a copy and paste Saturn port.
Also, did they have to remake the music? It sounds so flat in comparison to the arcade.

Some of the most fun I've ever had in a car.
Played the stand up cabinet at Galloping Ghost arcade in Chicago. Generally speaking I don't care for stand up cabinets for racing games. It just feels weird and my foot loses the pedals so I end up just never braking which isn't great for this one. Its still fun though. Probably the biggest complaint was they had the sound turned down too low so I couldn't hear the amazing DAYTONAAAA enticing me to play more. But if you want one of the best 3D racing games of the era this will fit the bill just try to seek out the sit down version.
the later tracks are borderline unplayable on a controller but the first one is godlike and the music slaps
amazing audiovisually and the driving is fun but as of right now i am simply not good at this and pretty clueless about what to do. in the event that i end up getting good i can see the score rising, though. looks like the type of game that would feel absolutely amazing if you're good at it
Sega inventou o automobilismo
The king of drift in the arcades.
WOHMMMMMMMMMMM ZRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
An absolute fucking icon.
I stare at that am2 logo and see a better life.

Daytona USA might lack the best handling, content or track design, but it more than makes up for it in classic Sega charm. From the attract screen to the game over jingle, every ounce of the game's presentation and mood is memorable. Befitting its accessible and friendly 'hanging out with the bros at the bowling alley arcade' nature, it's pure 90s motorsport pop art in video game form - there is quite few like it.

Welcome if you had the true experience of the 4 player cabinets, true fun on the 90's
incredible soundtrack, and a great representation of the quintessential 90s SEGA color palette
