This machine stands out. There's tons of racer games but this one grabs your attention over nearly everything else in an arcade

One thing people forget is Sega make these arcades from the ground up. The actual game, the cab, the music and gameplay is one big venture. The rolling start, the instant action, the music and short experience is all designed like an amusement park. 30 years ago these machine were “attractions” and not “video games”.  Going to the arcade was a day out, much like going to the fair. So when Sega made arcade games, they were designed to turn a profit. When you break down games like Daytona, its a bare bones game but it has enough pizazz to make you slide a dollar (or pound coin) and play. Sega brought you experiences, not gaming.

Brings back a lot of memories, thank you. Btw the secret in winning is drifting on corners and selecting manual transmission.

This is still my most favorite arcade racing game even after 23 years later

The theme music takes me back to my childhood. ❤️ Back when I'd sit on the seat with my hands on the wheel, but my dad was the one steering it.

You are one of the lucky few to have this original cabinet, Gallop steering wheel and 4-speed gearbox, seats, all original from 1994. This is priceless, keep it and preserve it safely. Congratulations🏆. I came 4th in the South American championship in 1997, I started playing the arcade port on the PS3 in 2011 and it's still the case today. Simply the most profitable arcade game in history!

this is my childhood right here xD

Gosh this music takes me straigh back to my childhood, at Butlins or by a beach in the UK somewhere.. Great times man.

Shift into 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, without lifting the gas or touching the brakes, when enter Sonic's turn!  You'll drift nicely thru the turn.
