I first came across Daytona in 1994 in a big single player cabinet in Brisbane. It must have just come out, but I knew all about it. Today, I play it on Xbox and my kids love it too.

I played the hell out of this back in high school in the mid 90s. when I finally learned the drift mechanics, i started practicing on weekends until i could nail the intermediate course almost flawlessly everytime, and guaranteed to be at the top of the leaderboard. I felt like a total badass when I'd finally get my turn to play when the arcade was busy, and most were just playing on the beginner course. Once they see me pick advanced + Manual, a small crowd would start to form. Then when i make that first drift turn after the tunnel they quiet down and watch intensely. I also learned to shift with just the tip of my fingers while steering one handed with as little steering input as possible, a big difference on how others would slam through the gears and saw wildly on the wheel like they were in an action movie. As soon as i cross the finish line, i would get up and walk away, leaving the initials screen blank and waiting intentionally. Sometimes someone would tell me i haven't entered my initials, and i'd casually say 'nah. you can enter yours if you want', and just walk away. In my mind i was the coolest person on the planet 🤣

Fun fact: You ever listen to the pit chief from the game? He sounds a lot like Robert Duvall from Days of Thunder. He even says some of the quips like “you’re lookin good” and “watch that rear bumper.” I’m convinced without Days of Thunder, Daytona USA would never exist.

The music did indeed make this game. You could hear the theme as soon as you entered any arcade a mile away and you knew what machine you were aiming for. It really did pull you in. Oh and that 8 player version? Yeah, that was insane. I'd never seen anything like it and that blew my mind the first time I saw that.

My local Dave & Busters had the 8 player cabnet setup with the full marque! They actually replaced it at one point in the mid-2000's, but think there must have been such a big drop in revenue/increase in complaints that they brought it back a few months later! Sadly that arcade closed down about a decade ago, in fact the entire mall it was in is gone now.

I hate to say this, but if the first time you experienced Daytona USA was in a bowling alley in 1996, you missed a lot. Not trying to be a gate-keeper, but holy shit, the experience in 1994 was VERY different than in 1996. Yes, it's a great game that anyone can appreciate. But there's something about experiencing these early 3D games, especially the Model 1 and Model 2 Sega games and the early Namco games, that just can't be replicated later on. There was nothing like walking into an arcade when that stuff was brand new and playing it for the first time. It's no surprise to me that this was the most successful arcade game ever (I can't even imagine what Sega was thinking when they saw what happened with this game). IMO, Sega Rally was a much better game, but I definitely put more quarters into Daytona over several years. This is a game that you just can't help but love, and watching 8 cabinets all linked together running a single race was absolutely amazing. Edit: My experience was obviously much different than yours and perhaps many others. I most often saw this game in 8-player configurations at arcades I went to when on vacation, starting in 1994 and lasting for at least 2 years after that. It had such lasting power that the long line of machines was almost always present in my teen years (and always positioned at the front of the arcade, where they would be sure to pull people in). I have never seen a stand-up unit in my entire life. I've always disliked those units and the only one I ever remember playing was an Outrun cabinet at our local bowling alley. Later on I think I saw 4- and 2-player configurations, but I don't believe I ever saw a single-player cabinet by itself. Edit 2: I'll go one step further and say that it's not just one of the greatest arcade games of all time, it is THE greatest arcade game of all time. And I'm pretty sure the sales numbers back that up.
@RedCometXIII19 күн бұрын
@@rars0n I think our experiences are very similar, because you have to take the scope into effect. My hometown is technically not even a town, by census standards it's a village, in 1990 the town has less than 5,000 people according to census data. So seeing something like a 2 player Daytona was just as mind blowing as seeing an 8 player unit in a big location in 1994. I can't believe the bowling alley could even afford one to be honest.

When these digital storefronts were introduced in the 360/PS3 era, the writing was on the wall. It’s much more convenient to just buy it at home than to drive to a store or even order on Amazon. There’s definitely things they could have done differently to mitigate this, but now it’s just full of funko pops and random toys and shirts. They’re trying to get into the retro game market which has exploded since COVID, but that may not save them. I’ve also talked to managers that say they’re getting more involved with the Pokemon TCG and it’s sounds like they could be looking at hosting tournaments. Either way, the days of waiting in line all day for a new game are over

Daytona cheat: If you crash into a wall, hold down the accelerator and the turbo button at the same time while the car is being auto repositioned back on to the track. The car will shoot off like 300mph. Just keep yourself scraping against the wall so you don't need to steer. The burst lasts about 10 seconds and uses all your turbo up but it's more than enough time to give you a huge lead. I would beat anyone I played every time using this cheat.
