![]() The hit game was first released in arcades in 1993, and was re-launched last year under the name Sega Racing Classic. The pit crewnot so much, but the clarity of the text on the cars and roadsides is impressive. It isn’t the best-looking racer available for download, but considering its roots are an 18-year old arcade game, I was surprised to see how nicely the car models had aged. No other information is discernible for the game's listing, although we're going to make an assumption that the game will hit Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Visually, Daytona USA still looks pretty solid. Gamespot reports that the Classification Board of Australia has a listing for Daytona USA for multiple platforms. Original Story: Once again, the Australian ratings board may have offered a glimpse of the future. The offer ends October 10, so get a move on. over a year ago by srluxury S4,800 40 Likes Well used In Others Preowned orginal sega machine Good working condition Price for 1 set of 2 cars Only 1 set. If you send an e-mail to with the name of the "mystery" game in the body, you could win a free copy of the game on the PlayStation 3. To make things a bit more interesting, Sega's hosting a little contest, too. The clip? It's Daytona's infamous " Rolling start!" soundbite. Sega of America has posted a YouTube clip inviting viewers to guess their next game announcement with help from a sound clip. If all else, just look up the soundtrack on YouTube, you won’t regret it.Update: Sega has all but confirmed that Daytona USA is indeed getting a retread. None still come close to the experience of the arcade, but it’s still an enjoyable racing game for the time. They did later release a Championship Circuit Edition which fixed the bugs of the original launch version. If you own a Sega Saturn then you need to pick this up for your collection if you haven’t already. If you can get a hold of it on Xbox Live or Playstation Network it’s worth picking up for amusement. When I found out that it was going to be released on Xbox 360, I instantly bought it and it’s still one of the only games that I’ve ever got all the achievements for. Overall, this game is very nostalgic for me since it was a game that I grew up on. ![]() This along with using 2 CPUs made the system extremely difficult to develop on and nobody knew at launch just how to use both CPUs to their capabilities. Because of this, developers were caught off guard and only 6 games were even remotely close to being released, and all of them just happened to be owned by Sega, Daytona USA being one of them. You see, the Saturn was originally released 6 months ahead of schedule due to Sega of Japan trying to beat the Playstation to market. While I do seem to notice it, I do believe that this was almost unavoidable given the circumstances. One thing that everyone seems to complain about is the graphics being a little choppy, especially considering that the Saturn version was a port of the Arcade. It also had a statue that it seems like everyone remembered. For one it was only 2 laps and features lots of water since you drove along a coast over bridges. It’s not as memorable as the Beginner track, but it does have things that made it stand out. The Advanced track isn’t totally that memorable, but the Advance track was always special. The beginner track is the most famous as it’s the same track used for the Daytona 500. Automatic will have a red car, while manual will have the blue car. The game only features 2 cars and the only way to choose what vehicle is be either choosing automatic or manual. It of course does have its fair share of limits. The game also features a very memorable Game Over song that has a group of people selling out Game Over and then saying it over and over again.Īs for the game itself, it’s not really that bad. Something about starting up the game and hearing somebody in an upbeat person goin “do do do do” like in the tv show Doug (only with some mid 90s arcade music) and yelling DAYTONA!!! It might just classify as the video game soundtrack equivalent to the movie The Room, in the sense that it is so bad it’s amazing. The one thing that everyone seems to enjoy about the game the most is the soundtrack. Of course, I can tell you that the game itself isn’t really stupid…just the music. This game has become quite popular in later years due to the internet’s fascination with all things stupid. One game in particular that I owned was a racing game called Daytona USA. ![]() While I owned my share of sports titles and Sonic games, I did have some other games for it as well. I’m pretty sure by now everyone knows that i was one of the very few people who owned a Sega Saturn in the United States. ![]()
