Gave it my best shot with dreamcast version.

Using settings: arcade - play by arcade rules.
I have previously also played the game with a cabinet and as far as I can tell the only real difference is the cabinet has a very nice steering wheel and a better screen Thumbstick and pc monitor isn´t quite as nice.
Other than that it is pretty much the same code or a very accurate port as Naomi and Dreamcast are so much alike


Getting past 6000 mark required something like 20 retries.

You can beat me! I got stuck in a tree for quite a while

$6,508,22! As you can tell I need to set the clock on my dreamcast as it has reverted to factory settings...it's really not a score from 15 years ago ha! I manged this score using the controller but I've since been using the dc wheel which is more authentic but harder

Just starting to get the hang of the boost and crazy drift! Makes it an infinitely more fun game.

I was playing the PC version after getting a bit hooked on it at the arcade, and it was only then that I really clearly noticed the people in the ocean, so I think it must be quite different visually. Also don't you boost and drift differently in the console version? I find I only pull off the boost about 1 out of 5 times.

Boosting was the reason why I sold my cab. What a stupid mechanic.

[NASguy]

You have to basically perma boost in this game to play at a high level, I used to be really good at it and tried to play it years later when I fell off and sucked hard so I sold my Dreamcast stuff. This is a fun, simple game but a stressful one to play at a high level

I think I'm having the most fun when it's glitching out and I'm sliding into a wall. The physics are just so satisfying and fun, so I'm not really that concerned if I don't always get a good score.

What are the default settings again?
timer start 50 , traffic 4 , timer 4?
