Daytona USA

News | December 2, 2011 9:17 pm

I remember back in the day plopping a dollars worth of quarters to play Daytona USA in the arcades. At the time it was one of the most realistic looking and fun racing games to play. The deluxe version of this game had 4 large sit-in Daytona car style cabinets with giant screens and you could race head to head with 1 to 2 other players. Oh how I wanted a home version of this game. My prayers were answered (somewhat) when the game was released on Sega Saturn. Game play was spot on but suffered horribly when it came to graphics. Then years later Daytona appeared on Sega's Dreamcast system. Graphics were improved drastically but the game play was much different then that of the arcade. It felt like an entirely different racing game with Daytona graphics. Now in 2011, Xbox 360 through Xbox Live Arcade has an exact port of this game and it's exactly as I remembered. Graphics, game play, the added online mulitplayer and the famous soundtrack are all intact.

Anyone that played and loved this game back in the glory days when arcades were king, pick this up. At 800 MP it can't be beat.

Boy playing the trial sure brought back a lot of memories. I remember going nuts over this when our Celebration Station first got it and Soul Edge (the original arcade version of Soul Calibur).

Friends and I would take turns playing while the others would stand behind and push the car seat thing around when the player wrecked. We didn't get a multi-player/car version until much later.
