Games like Virtua Racing showcased polygonal graphics in a way that showed a polygonal game could play as smoothly as a sprite-based one and was a direct descendant to one of Sega’s most-enduring games: Daytona USA. The ’90s were a time of change and in the early ’90s no major company gave the impression of living in the moment quite like Sega. Beyond delivering great experiences, they also strove to drive technology forward in ways that even to this day showed off the benefits of a dedicated machine versus a home console experience. With a legacy that began with Yu Suzuki’s classic Outrun and continued with other super scaler games like Hang-On, the company stakes its flag in arcade racing to an unmatched degree. Sega’s arcade racers were the stuff of legend in their time - and that legend has only grown as decades pass and many games pay homage to them. You’ll see both good and bad souls unearthed every month as we search through the more… forgotten…parts of history. Inside, we’ll be digging up games that have long been without a pulse. Then your life will be complete.Watch your step, for you’ve just entered the Graveyard. And once you get hooked, ask more people to play with you. Yes, up to 7 persons can play with you at the same time!

It's best feature is the eight-linked player game.

The best part of Daytona USA isn't how it looks or sounds. Race through three beautiful circuits and race to get first! It's not an easy way to the top!

Get behind the wheel of a Daytona car - the Hornet if you play alone or any of the special cars if you're lucky enough to get people to play with you. Groundbreaking when it first came out, it's popularity and reputation grew incredibly and it still is one of SEGA's most beloved titles today. One of the best arcade games to ever exist and without a doubt the most fun in the racing genre, only rivaled by it's successor, OutRun and Hydro Thunder Hurricane. If you grew up in the nineties, you can't NOT have played this game. "DU DU DU DU DU DU DURUUUU!! DAYTOOOOOOOOONNNNAAAAAAA! LET'S GO AWAY!"
