SEGA RACING CLASSIC TM
Shit name. Amazing everything else. Amusement arcade operators might have a reason not to chuck it all in and give up next year.
Merely looking at it quickens the heart. Taken from here. A man called “Alex” emailed us about this last week, saying “My buddy told me that SEGA Racing Classic is actually a remake of the original Daytona USA. It’ll show up at the next AOU expo in early 2010”.
Also from Alex. Daytona USA on the telly in Australia.

“DAYTOOOOOOOONAAA, DAYTOOOOOOOONAAAA, LET’S GO AN RACE!”

Hey, guys, it’s me, Alex again.
It gets better. An alert reader at the Arcade Heroes forums found this over at the Raw Thrills site.

Are they working on a Daytona clone? We shall see, the AMOA show is in a couple of weeks.

Fantastic, just got back from a holiday in Devon and the only Daytona machine I could find was pretty knackered. A nice new HD version would be very welcome, although if they’re not paying for the Daytona name/licence they’re going to have to change the music on Dinosaur Canyon…

You can always use ElSemi’s emulator to play the original on your PC. System requirements aren’t that steep either.
I reckon this might be an XLBA/PSN release, considering Sega doesn’t have the Nascar license. A full-fledged sequel seems far-fetched.
And isn’t it: Daytoooonnaaaa let’s go away?

Sega doesn’t have the Nascar license and . . . can’t find the source code.
Can’t say I am bothered any more (wot wiv Daytona on Dreamcast and the perfect emulation on PC) . . . unless there is 8 plus online racing. Then it would be interesting. Not that I am ever going to buy another Live Gold membership. They can stick that bollocks up their arses. Might come out on PC. I’ll sit quietly and pray for that.

I don’t really get it either. Daytona’s already been made perfectly.
It’s like Leonardo da Vinci deciding to re-paint the Mona Lisa because no one likes his new pictures as much. You’ve already done it once, it’s good enough. Try something else now.

Honestly Zorg, have you not been to see the Mona Lisa? It’s ruddy tiny! It’s about time it was remade in HD.

I’ve seen the Mona Lisa. Gave it a quick glance from a distance as I ran past as the place was about to shut.
Bought a Wii in Virgin on the Champs-Élysées afterwards. Had sold it again before Christmas a month later.
True story. No sightings of Daytona that day, though Cork airport still has a working upright Daytona machine. Plan a holiday around it.
Apparently, you can play emulated Daytona online. Let’s form a UK:R online gaming clan!!! On second thoughts, I am already uncomfortable with UK:R’s level of social interaction.

To good to believe. Next you’ll tell me all episodes of Shining Force 3 are coming out in english on the DS.

I have no clue Pulstar. I’m too lazy to check and see, and this was coming from year’s back since I’ve played the game, and if those aren’t the exact words like any other song I like, I would just make the words up.

I wish they’d put Scud Race on Xbox Live Arcade since
they never released it on the dreamcast.

There was a leaked video of a level from a devkit yonks ago (in fact – http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2007/09/long-lost-dreamcast-version-of-scud.html ) and I think the first track was re-created in another racer (I forget which one now).
But yeah, if it came out on Xbla it’d be an immediate purchase and I’m not even a massive fan of racers.
I miss that waterfall from the second stage, that was spectacular.

I think it was in Outrun 2 in one of the missions.
October 1st, 2009 on 2:38 pm
Is that Outrun 2 or Coast to coast? Xbox version?
And what do you have to do to unlock it?
Yes, I know I could look on the internet myself but I can’t be arsed – Just imagine I’m some spotty little oik and you’re Patrick Moore, if that helps.
Just don’t involve Dexter Fletcher

Yeah, I’ve seen that demo before. I also remember it being mentioned in issue 31(May) of the official sega saturn magazine(the one where you got disc 1 of panzer Saga).
October 1st, 2009 on 5:04 pm
The scud race tracks are on Outrun 2 on the xbox. There on the last mission(rival race) of stage 4. I don’t know if they’re on Coast 2 Coast.
