Item Description

Virtua Racing was the arcade game that taught the world what polygon racing could be. Sega AM2's 1992 coin-op, running on the Model 1 board, rendered its Formula cars and circuits entirely in flat-shaded 3D, earned the AMOA's award for Most Innovative New Technology, and in its deluxe sit-down cabinet charged a then-startling two dollars a play. Virtua Racing Deluxe on the Sega 32X was the home version that finally came close to that experience.

Launched with the 32X in North America in 1994, it runs at a significantly higher resolution, color depth, frame rate and draw distance than the Genesis cartridge with its special SVP chip, and much of the team behind that Mega Drive port used the add-on's extra muscle to get far closer to the arcade. The famous selectable camera views are all here, switchable on the fly even in split-screen two-player races, so you can flip from the cockpit to a high chase angle mid-corner exactly as arcade players did.

Deluxe also earns its name with new content. Alongside the original Formula car and the arcade's three circuits, it adds two new cars, a Stock car and a Prototype, plus two new tracks, Highland and Sand Park, answering the biggest complaint about the Genesis version's longevity. Composer Naofumi Hataya rearranged some of the music and wrote several new tracks, giving this version an identity of its own.

Reviewers were impressed: Next Generation called it a near-perfect conversion of a game that's still fun to play, and in 1996 the magazine ranked the arcade, 32X and Saturn versions of Virtua Racing 11th in its Top 100 Games of All Time, ahead of every other racing game on the list. On the 32X it is the showcase racer and a direct line back to the cabinet that started Sega's 3D era.

About the game

Virtua Racing Deluxe is an enhanced port of Virtua Racing, released as a launch title for the Sega 32X in North America and Europe in late 1994. Much of its team was comprised of developers who had produced the port of Virtua Racing to the Sega Mega Drive, however the visuals in Virtua Racing Deluxe are far more accurate and the some music was rearranged. Naofumi Hataya also composed several new tracks for the game, in some cases replacing original themes.
