It was a weekend of September 1994. I went to my favorite mall to watch a movie (I can't remember which one). There was still some time before the next show and I noticed there was an arcade saloon right next to the theater. I was curious as which machines were there and took a peek. First game I noticed? Daytonaaaaaaaaa! Let's go away! I immediately fell in love. The graphics, the music, the sound effects, the gameplay, everything I had played so far became nearly obsolete in front Daytona USA. Ever since then, I made up any kind of excuse to visit the arcade so that I could see the game and try to play it, since it was the busiest and most played game for almost two years, even after new machines came and went. It was really that great and it's my all-time favorite arcade game.
A trip to the arcades weren't complete without hearing the Daytona cabinet. It was a classic, along with Sega Rally and House of the Dead, making it a staple of my childhood.
This among Sega Rally Championship really were the breakthrough for arcade racing with nice to look at 3D graphics to me. The music is also catchy and I even own the soundtrack on physical CDs.
I personally only know the arcade version but know that the original Microsoft Windows release back then was quite authentic with many easter eggs, added extras and settings. I really would like to get my hands on a version that would run smoothly on modern setups without troubleshooting/compatibility issues.
Please get the original and not the Championship Circuit Edition (latter using Sega Rally Championship's engine instead).
I remember when I was young and I went to chucky cheese and they had the deluxe cabinet and the music screaming DDAAYYYYTTTOOONNNAAAAAA. Ever since then I been in love with the game. I played it countless hours in the arcade and when I finally got a Sega Saturn, Daytona USA was my first game. This is the ultimate arcade racer, and with the best music soundtrack for a racing game, of all time.

Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition BundleGrand Theft Auto V takes place five years after Grand Theft Auto IV and is now set in Los Santos. It centers around three protagonists: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. New to the series is that the player can switch between the three characters on the fly. They each have different missions, lives, and personalities. They also often come together, especially for heists, a complex type of mission where a large operation needs to be planned and executed by determining a strategy and hiring additional henchmen. As with previous games in the series, the gameplay involves gunfights and takes place in a sprawling, open-world city where players get around by acquiring transport (cars, boats, helicopters, etc) through less than legal means. Players can roam the game world, complete story missions, and partake in various illegal activities, including shooting civilians, robbing people, destruction of cars, and the titular act of car theft. These lead to a wanted rating of up to five stars, sending in a police force in pursuit. Continuing to resist the police will also increase it. The wanted status is lost by getting out of sight or by spraying the car.Open world Action
