![]() Parnelli Jones probably never dreamed when he was racing hot rods and jalopies in local race meets as a youth in Torrance, California that sleek Grand Prix cars bearing his name would someday challenge the best that Europe had to offer on racetracks around the world with glamorous-sounding names like Monaco, Buenos Aires, Anderstorp, Kyalami, Montjuich Park, Nurburgring, Monza and Zandvoort. In a two-part feature, Thomas O'Keefe looks at the reasons for this anomaly in his in-depth history of the last team, and the characters behind it, from those shores to competitively take the challenge to the Europeans. Maybe Sega’s big reported announcement next month is they will finally port all the arcade games they never bothered to give us to a new home console called Dreamcast 2? Lololīut in all seriousness if you haven’t played Daytona USA 2, go do it.Formula One is the pinnacle of motor racing worldwide, and yet no North American team has successfully competed in the championship for decades. It has everything that made the original Daytona a hit plus a ton extra awesome graphics, better tracks, a more “arcade” feel to how the cars handled. I can’t imagine Sega didn’t think it would succeed. It was rumored in magazines back in the day as coming to Dreamcast but in the end we got stiffed by Sega AGAIN! If Sega felt the original Daytona was deserving of multiple releases on the Saturn and a remake on Dreamcast.why not the sequel? Considering it released in arcades in 1998 a Dreamcast port seemed written in stone. How did something like this never make it to Dreamcast or any other platform like the original Xbox. ![]() Dreamcast on the horizon, a glut of amazing arcade seemed like they could do nothing wrong. Sure they had issues with the Saturn but 90’s Sega was the best thing going. Why else would amazing games like Daytona 2 never see a home release? It’s not like the game wasn’t good enough or reviewed poorly!ĭaytona 2, for me, has everything that made SEGA the company to beat in the 90’s. ![]() I’m really starting to think that whoever makes the decisions at Sega intentionally enjoys causing their fan base pain lol. ![]()
