The bright graphics held many subtleties that frequent players came to appreciate but most of all they conveyed a true sense of speed. The physics model combined with the powerful and detail-oriented force feedback system made it feel like the player was truly in the race. That game was the now legendary Daytona USA.ĭaytona USA was not the first 3D racing game to ever be made but very few games matched the earnings potential that it brought to the 1990s arcade scene. Designed to generate 3D texture mapped graphics in real-time and at high speeds, Model 2 was the perfect platform to feature a cutting edge racing game with. One of those efforts came to fruition in the form of their “Model 2” hardware. This game is not to be missed neither by racing car fans, nor anybody else.Back in 1994, Sega was pushing the envelope of what could be done with 3D graphics. The soundtrack for the game is composed by a very talanted Japanese composer Takenobu Mitsuyoshi and he did a fantastic jobs. It provides excitement, fun, and a very high replay value, and you will play for hours on end, just wanting to get better time. You can play alone or in a multiplayer match, and you can link two ore more cabinets to increase the player number to eight. You have to outrun the competing cars, and complete the race before time runs out. There are eight tracks to choose from and a variety of cars. You play the game in a stock car with either a manual or automatic transmission, which is your choice. It features fantastic texture mapping and it was then considered the most visually detailed 3D arcade racing game up to date. I've never seen such a realistic and graphically detailed game from the mid nineties. Made in 1996, it is way ahead of it's time when design, visual appearance and textures are concerned. Daytona USA Deluxe may easily be the best racing game of the nineties ( Need for speed being another one).
