Notes : Sega had always envisioned their 3D system to be textured, never just flat shaded 3D, so with this in mind they kept their relation going with GEA (now known as Martin Marietta after being bought by them in 1993) and worked with SEGA to upgrade the Model 1 graphics, including the new texture mapping features among other effects.

Notes : The first game to come out on this hardware, worth mentioning above and beyond anything else due to the fact that it is the number one grossing game of all time. I have no figures to quote but I do know that in the UK alone it made close to twice the figures the second best selling game did (that honor goes to Time Crisis 2).
Daytona also caused and still causes a problem in the arcade industry, Sega had come up with such a "killer app" that no other game from them or any other company since has matched it in terms of profitability, leading to the phrase heard from most site operators, "It's no Daytona".

Notes : Another unofficial hack, adds a turbo button and several more playing modes, a ghost car for your fastest lap, a rear view and about 4 more viewing modes, and its surprisingly playable...
Note the bar across the middle at the bottom, this is your turbo fuel, and the red bars at the side are your extra views, also, the digital speedo has been changed.
