Sega Super GT Arcade

Super GT came in either Twin or Deluxe cabinets, which can be linked together for up to eight players. The gameplay follows the same basic gameplay rules as Daytona USA, as both games share the same game engine. It it is a racing game in which the player competes against several dozen computer controlled cars in an attempt to finish first. As an "arcade style" racer, much of the "realism" is taken out of the equation in order to provide the user with a fast paced, entertaining experience - cars do not handle like they would in reality, but rather how users would want these cars to handle. The game was modelled after the BPR Global GT Series (now known as the FIA GT Championship), featuring the cars of four prominent teams in the 1996 season. The game features four different courses of varying difficulty, though two are beginner level (daytime and nighttime). Just like Daytona USA, an arcade operator can put the game in Grand Prix or Endurance Mode for longer races. There are four selectable cars in this game: Porsche 911 GT2, "Easy Driving" Top speed: 337km/h (AT), 344km/h (MT) The Porsche 911 GT2 (based on the Porsche 993 and considered to have been a lower class vhicle in the BPR) is the easy option in Scud Race, being the simplest and safest car of the four to drive. It is, however, the slowest, and so is mainly aimed at beginners. Ferrari F40 GTE, "Normal Driving" Top speed: 349km/h (AT), 359 km/h (MT) The Ferrari F40, a relatively successful car in the BPR, is a little quicker and therefore a little harder to control in Scud Race, but is generally the more balanced option. As Sega AM2's head Yu Suzuki was a fan of Ferraris, the Ferrari F40 has appeared in multiple Sega games, usually related to the OutRun series (though in its non-GT red colour scheme). It was seen in Turbo OutRun, Battle OutRun, OutRun Europa and OutRun 2. Dodge Viper GTS-R, "High Torque" Top speed: 338km/h (AT), 349km/h (MT) Though a bit slower than the F40, the Dodge Viper GTS-R is an easier car to control and very good with corners. McLaren F1 GTR, "High Speed" Top speed: 355km/h (AT), 369km/h (MT) At the time, the McLaren F1 GTR was the fastest road car available to the general public and the winner of the BPR, so it makes sense that it is also the fasest in Scud Race. However, the speed comes at a cost - the car is much more difficult to control than the others. The opponent cars, aside from the selectable cars at the main screen, are all Renault Alpine GTA/A610s. According to promotional material, every track in Scud Race is located in the fictional world of "Versus City", potentially named after one of Sega's multi-purpose arcade cabinets available at the time.
