Dirt dash is an extremely rare rallying game, released in 1995 exclusively at the arcades. I didn't play this a lot, but I will anyways give my opinion about it. The setting of this game is a five-stage long course, in which the five areas have different characteristics: the urban level, the hill level, the Jungle level, the mountain level and finally, the snowy level. This game allows you to select where to start before the race. The areas increase in difficulty: City - Very easy - Hill - Easy, Jungle - Medium, Mountain - Hard and Snowy - Very hard. To finish this game, you must go through all the areas and finish the lap. Some areas have shortcuts to ease the game play. You can also select between three different cars, also varying on difficulty: Desert Arrow - a yellow car which looks like an old mini SUV for the beginners with the best handling and lowest top speed, Blue Dragon, a blue pickup truck for the Intermediate players with medium handling and medium top speed, and Red Lightning, For the expert players, with the lowest handling and the highest top speed. You can also select manual or automatic transmission, like every other racing game released at the arcades. When I played it at the deluxe moving arcade machine, I felt the controls were semi-realistic also because of the force feedback of the wheel, and the hydraulic seat which added to the realism. The steering wheel is larger than other arcade racers at the time of its release, but unfortunately, last time I played it the steering wheel was small and the gear shifter didn't work. The graphics were very realistic for its time with realistic damage, for example, the door is damaged and opened after a collision, and even it could be taken off if you collide a lot, and the rear bumper can also show signs of damage. The music is really good, I love it, and the sound effects are good, too. Although you could choose the level of difficulty, this game is very challenging. This game is fun, but it very short in length. I like it, although I didn't really play it many times.
