Same here! My first experience of Sega Rally was the PC version, using arrow keys on the clunky 90s keyboardโ€ฆ I was 8 years old, itโ€™s all I had access to ๐Ÿ˜‚ So I too stuck with AT for the longest time as it was all I knew and felt comfortable with. But switching to MT has been quite the awakening ๐Ÿ˜

MT is a lot faster, so eventually it becomes easier to put in good lap times compared to using AT, even if at first it seems a little awkward.

Yep, I always wished they would make a port of the Model 2 game but updated with the the replays and CD quality audio from the Saturn/PC versions. The end credits theme in particular, My Dear Friend Rally with Takenobu Mitsuyoshiโ€™s vocals is a joyous relief after the intense Lakeside run.

We've had a name change for our #Racing game. We felt #LightningHornets was one too many syllables, so we're changing it to #StreetHornets! We're currently hard at work to get a demo build released. Follow for updates if you like an old school #Arcade #Racer!

Redesigned vehicle for #LightningHornets, our upcoming #ArcadeRacer. Removed thrusters for a less vulgar, more classy look... was never quite happy with them.

We've been having too much fun fine-tuning the game-feel, particularly the drift mechanics... and oh boy is it sweet. Fans of #Outrun2, #SegaRally and early #Burnout games will want to keep an eye out on this one ๐Ÿ˜‰

With Namco's arcade racer #RidgeRacer receiving a home-console port for the very first time (PS1 version doesn't count) via #ArcadeArchives tomorrow, thought I'd let everyone know about the #ArcadeRacersUnite feed where we have a growing arcade racing community. Pin to your homepage on link below:

Agreed! If anything Sega Rally Championship is criminally underrated! It doesn't get even half the love that Daytona USA does. It has one of the best physics+handling models which are synonymous to the brilliant track designs. Every corner and every bump and crest is a joy. Still play it to this day
