Scud Race

Scud Raceefn|stylized as SCUD Race, "Sport Car Ultimate Drive" Despite being released well within the lifetime of the Sega Saturn, no Saturn port was ever released. A Dreamcast port was announced for the system's 1998 launch lineup and was shown as a tech demo in the Dreamcast Presentation in 1998, but was cancelled.

Scud Race came in either Twin or Deluxe cabinets, which can be linked together for up to eight players. The game was modelled after the BPR Global GT Series, 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). Sega later had an arcade test game known as Supercar, but this evolved into Scud Race/Super GT. The most notable similarities include the HUD display with most features in the same positions on screen, and the handling style of the game. The main difference between gameplay is the addition of acceleration while drifting, which caused a radically different drifting strategy. AM2 head Yu Suzuki, though not part of the Scud Race development team, gave advice on how to do the drift handling and the sound sampling. The game made its world debut on January 21, 1997, at the Amusement Trades Exhibition International show in London. Sega unveiled the official sequel to Daytona USA, Daytona USA 2, in 1998. Depending on what version of the game (Battle on The Edge or Power Edition) and cabinet the player is on (Single or 1–16), the three four cars have different colors.

Scud Race had a location test in early 1997 at the Sega City arcade in Irvine, California, before being released throughout North America. The game was released as Super GT in North America because in the U. S. the word "scud" evoked memories of the Scud missiles used by Iraqi forces in the then recent Gulf War. The game received positive reviews. The game was reviewed by Hyper magazine and rated 5 out of 5 stars. Next Generation rated it four stars out of five, and stated that "Sega's newest Model 3 creation is the most gorgeous driving game ever to grace an arcade. Simply put, Sega Super GT is a visual masterpiece, boasting never before seen graphics and providing realistic driving speeds gamers simply have never ever experienced (unless, of course, they're Mario Andretti)".
