Daytona will have full Internet support, allowing you to race against up to four others over your phone lines. That's about as close as you can get to linking up a few full-size arcade machines. Thanks to the extra horsepower the DC has over the Model 2 board, Amusement Vision has made Daytona USA look better than its arcade counterpart. This is the sequel to the classic stock car racing game. This version features a new track, a CD soundtrack, and 8 player network play. You also have the choice between 8 different cars, each with its unique handling.

Back in 2017, SEGA released on the arcades a new version of its classic Daytona racing game, Daytona Championship USA. However, it appears that the company has included the source code of its full game in the latest update that can be downloaded from its official site. As such, gamers can download it and make it work on the PC via HEX editors.

Daytona Championship USA features three brand new tracks including a recreation of the newly renovated DAYTONA International Speedway, as well as remastered versions of the three classic tracks that were featured in the original game. Furthermore, the game packs a bit better graphics than the original version, though it cannot come close to what gamers could expect from a 2017 arcade racing game.

PC gamers have been trying these days to make this game work on the PC platform. So far they have managed to run the game on the PC platform and they have implemented functioning controls. The game is not fully enjoyable yet (the controls need further polishing as they are too sensitive), however, it can be considered fully playable.

Naturally, we won’t allow links to the update, despite the fact that the link is coming directly from SEGA’s official website. Those interested can search for it, find it and download it.

Below you can find a video showing Daytona Championship USA running with 60fps on the PC, as well as a video from its latest version/experiment that supports functioning controls!

Back in the mid to late 90s, Daytona USA was a game that was in pretty much every single arcade that was in my area. So, it goes without saying that when the Sega Saturn launched the fact that Sega managed to have a port of their monster arcade hit ready was a huge coup for them. Unfortunately, the port they put out on the Sega Saturn was clearly rushed out of the door. While it is kind of like Daytona, it is not the arcade perfect port that many of us had wished for.

Daytonaaaaaaa!!!!

Let’s start with the point of the game. You get to pick from a handful of stock cars and you need to try and win the races. You can race on their tracks, but there are mirror tracks as well. You can play against a friend or do a time trial as well. This was an arcade port so that is the reason why the content is rather shallow. Still, being able to play Daytona USA in our homes at the time was a huge deal.

Holy Pop In Batman!

I have to say that the Sega Saturn port of Daytona has the worst pop-in I have come across in any video game! I legit cannot do justice just how bad the pop-in this game has is. You are driving on a bridge and the bridge is being constructed as you are on it! If it was just the scenery that was popping in as you drove, I could maybe deal with that. However, it is not, the actual road in front of you will pop-in as well.Some may think that Daytona USA was a game that was too complicated to port to the Sega Saturn. That is not actually true. Sega wanted this as a launch game for the Saturn and as a result, it had to be rushed out of the door and that is the reason for all of the pop-in.

That Daytona Charm

While the game may look very downgraded from the arcade original. I must admit there is still a lot of charm to this game. The racing feels loose, arcadey and it is fun to pick up and play. Shaving off seconds here and there on your best times is very addictive. The gameplay does resemble the Daytona that we all know and love from the arcade. It is the kind of racing game that anyone can pick up and play.While some might say it is shallow. It does feature damage effects that can alter the way your car handles. Believe it or not, this was a pretty novel feature back when this game was released.

Even though the Sega Saturn port of Daytona USA could not be any further from being arcade perfect. This is a game that I still have a lot of good memories of. It is such a shame Sega had to rush it out the door to meet the launch. To be fair, Sega did fix the issues with the game as they released Daytona USA Champion Circuit Edition which is far closer to what we got in the arcade. They pretty much fixed all of the problems that this original port had and added in some extra stuff too. I often wonder if having the Champion Circuit Edition as the launch game would have made a difference to how the Saturn sold at launch.
