A classic and well-regarded arcade racing game. It has the whole sit-down arcade cabinet racing game to perfection. Only OutRun and Virtua Racing are comparable in iconic status and good feelings. Daytona is also about extending your time so you can finish, but coming in first is also important.
The XBox 360/XBox One/PS3 version is the best console edition, but sadly it’s no longer listed on the digital stores. So to get a legitimate copy now you have to buy the Dreamcast or Saturn versions, and also have those systems. That or use an emulator. I’m glad I picked up the XBox 360 version on sale when I was collecting the 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die list.
