    Best Video Game Ever

    At the time of its release, having the multiplayer option, great sound, even in some places cameras that showed players, the fun was endless on this machine at the arcades.

    Personally I mastered this game, at the point of nobody beating me, I even gave them a whole lap head start and catch up with them (thanks for the computer assisted speed boost when you are falling behind).

    Not even at the hardest setting the Computer will scratch me (on single player of course) Also of course I had the best times ever on the circuits, since the high scores didn't erase, my initials were always on top.

    This game was excellent to play with friends and foes, usually on 4 or more player version, the winner stays and loser pays, since there was a line to play it, only the winner stood, one of the next challengers will have to pay up the winner, usually me, so I got lots of free games that way.

    Also it was excellent to set tournaments, which I won them all, tournaments were round robin, the last round was set to endurance mode, the expert course, lots of laps, I won by 2 laps LOL...

    So good, so original.

    I love Daytona in the arcades. It's a quick and easy set up, high-speed stock car racing game. You could challenge up to 8 players. Select three different courses from Easy, Medium and Hard and put the pedal to the metal. Drift corners at maximum speed according to your skill. Gain complete control over your stock car with Manual Transmission. If you're a true pro, you will need no brakes, at all!

    I think Sega has done the best thing ever, releasing this powerful racing game that'll attract almost anybody! Race with some friends, crash each other into the walls or if you've been overlapped...make a u-turn and race the opposite direction, hoping to put a stop to the winning racer! Daytona USA is so much fun, you'll refuse to let go the steering wheel without a fight.

    In 1994, Daytona USA was released in the arcade. Right after, a port was released on Sega Saturn. In 1995, Sega released a port on Windows-95. In 1996, Japan upgraded Daytona USA to "Daytona USA: Maxx", having all the cars on monster wheels and a turbo feature added. In 2001, a home version of Daytona USA was released on Dreamcast. In 2004, Sega upgraded the original arcade version of Daytona USA into "Daytona GTX: 2004 Edition", with nitro-charged racing cars and a system to hook up your car with points you earned.

    Arcade- The best and original Daytona USA, yet. -Graphics: Very smooth run, cars have muscular wheels. 7/10 -Sound: Very realistic roaring engines. 6.5/10 -Replay Value: Moderately High

    Saturn- Displeasing graphics, horrible release of Daytona. -Graphics: High in pixels and low in polygons, cars look like boxes. 5/10 -Sound: High quality CD soundtracks. 7.5/10 -Replay Value: Moderately Low

    Daytonaaaaaaaaaaaaa........

      Only the Saturn home port version of the game allowed you to race as a horse if you placed first in all 3 race difficulties. The feature was not included on the Arcade, PC or PS3 versions.
