Racing Games

There is nothing better then playing racing games with your friends and competing against them in a battle of skill. One of the best racing games out there is Daytona racing from Sega. This arcade game is a classic and is located in nearly all arcades across America. I usually go to Dave and Busters on the weekends with some friends and challenge them for bragging rights on who can earn first place. One thing is for certain; no matter who wins everyone will have a great time. The Daytona game allows you to sit in the driver's seat of a professional race car. Once you are sitting down in the arcade machine there are speakers that are built into the base design that allows you to hear every single crowd noise and turn. There is a built in vibration feedback that goes into the steering wheel, so you can feel the movement of your vehicle on the terrain. The graphics of the game is not as good as it use to be but does stand the test of time. The graphics for two car collisions are still quite adequate and fun. I only hope that in the arcade world that you can purchase some type of auto insurance before you can play. This is a great racing game that should go down as one of the best ever games in arcade history. There has been several arcade games that have been releases that are in the same genre as Daytona but none lack the staying power of this classic video game. I only can hope that one day that we are blessed with a sequel to Daytona that it will cause a massive population movement into everyone's local arcade.
