It's a crying shame that Scud Race never got an official home conversion, but this could be the next best thing (assuming you don't own the Xbox version of Outrun 2, which boasted many of the arcade game's circuits as bonus tracks). Dolphin Tunnel (Scud Race) - Scud Race is home to some amazing tracks, and this legendary course is one of the most eye-catching, thanks to its aquarium theme.Three Seven Speedway (Daytona USA) - One of the most iconic tracks to grace any racing title, this oval course would need a bit of modification in order to fit within the crazy, upside-down world of Mario Kart 8, but it would be worth the effort just to hear that amazing theme song.I'd ignore such criticism purely because I want to hear him shout "GET READY" at the start of each race.
Harri (Space Harrier) - You could argue that the lead character in Sega's insanely popular arcade shooter would be a poor fit because he doesn't need a vehicle - his gun appears to provide all the propulsion he needs.Duke Oda (Cyber Police ESWAT) - Another lesser-known star from Sega's past, Duke is your average law enforcement officer strapped into a state-of-the-art robotic exoskeleton, which should provide adequate protection whenever a Blue Shell is deployed.His "can-do" attitude and access to an endless inventory of replacement bodies should stand him in good stead when it comes to hitting the race track. Scooter (Alien Storm) - It's always amazed me that Scooter (also known as Slammer in some parts of the world) hasn't been featured in more games.With that in mind, I've allowed myself to go a bit mad and pick some truly obscure elements from Sega's illustrious back catalogue. However, putting this selection together wasn't as straightforward as you might imagine - thanks largely to the fact that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has already mined Sega's past pretty effectively. Below are the results, all a pretty accurate reflection of the respective writer's tastes.īeing a massive Sega fanboy, it was almost inevitable that I'd put together a pack which well and truly scratches my nostalgia bone.
