So, it's a shame this game isn't playable on this site especially on retroarch it seems that you would have to install some kind of module in order to be able to play this online. Trouble is I wouldn't know which version to look for when reviewing this, however I looked online it seems that this is the closest so I'll place the review here, and now it's time for another edition of Summer Gaming MAME-ories, this time we are leaving the time machine at home. Why? because there are at least two places I know of that still has this game running (I hope) One of them being the Famous Players at KP, the other being at the C'mon Inn in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and since I've spent at least two vacations there it qualifies for the Summer Gaming Mame-ories, I really wanted to go to FP KP yesterday to play this game again just to prepare for this but, the theater is only open for those that have both of their COVID vaccine doses, and I don't get my second dose til Saturday and even so I can't get my Vax card until two weeks after I get the second dose. I've talked enough, it's time to review the game


Gameplay and story: It's a racing game you don't really have a story, just hope you place first for a free game (it's an arcade version) and I don't think I have ever won a game on that thing

Graphics: they're actually quite spectacular to be honest

Soundtrack: the game itself has an impressive soundtrack but it actually depends on which version you are playing

Addictive: I put so many quarters in this thing in July of 2004 (we had to take this trip because we were originally supposed to go to BC to visit relatives but I got sick and it derailed our plans

Depth and difficulty(yes I'm merging these): They only offer two cars and three courses and it depends on the difficulty, like the beginner course is 8 laps and the intermediate is 4 laps and the advanced course is only two laps, so the stretches must be long



Post Review Follow-up: I actually love this game, I have a soft spot for racing games because they're kind of relaxing, don't get me wrong I have high praises for Mario Kart and Road Rash but sometimes a good plain racing game still has it's charm. So I'm kind of sad that soon I will have to end the Daytona USA PC playings as I'm about to be on the last car.


Well this concludes my Review, next week will conclude my Summer Gaming MAME-ories with Superman, but please do join me tomorrow when I review Nancy Drew Danger on Deception Island

Man I had better start replaying this game so I can pre-write the review so I'll have it ready for next week.

Racing games don't always have to have wacky antics like in Mario Kart! I wonder how many people have put in so many quarters into this game just to get one free game out of a win XD Racing games are oddly relaxing, I agree. I think they're relaxing for me because they're so simple.

Pacman+Mariofan : true, though I do have nice things to say about Mario Kart (though for some reason the N64 racing games don't work like they used to, they did at first but you just can't go when you push something, which is a shame I would kill to play Road Rash for N64 again, or Cruisin USA even)

Daytona USA for Saturn is basically the same thing you would see in the PC version of Daytona USA

I've always had interest in playing this game but I've never gotten around to it maybe I'll eventually change that but it's hard to say. Since I saw you noticed that the music is different in some versions do you have a version when it comes to music you would recommend?

SonicOlmstead : Well I have the PC version of the game where it has a huge soundtrack, I just wish it had music like this track
