Daytona USA

If arcades had a heartbeat in the mid-90s, Daytona USA (1994) was it. This racing game was Sega’s love letter to neon lights, loud engines, and steering wheels that rattled like they were about to fall off. The PC port on Windows XP never quite matched the glory of the original arcade cabinet, but the spirit’s still there. Bright tracks, ridiculously catchy music, and the thrill of sliding around corners at breakneck speed—it’s pure arcade chaos. Sure, the graphics look like someone glued Lego bricks together today, but back then it felt like the future. Buckle up and scream “Rolling Start!”
