I never picked up on it before, but they no longer had the licensing for Ivan Ironman Stewart, so they just gave him sunglasses and a mustache. :lol

This is supposed to be a port of the dreamcast version, but I read some comments by people saying that it doesn't have the option to sprout wings. I haven't played it recently enough to remember.

The original arcade version didn't have the wings thing. That's what was added for the console ports which generated some complaints.

Heh... reminds me of Daytona 2...
They wanted Dale Earnhardt in the game but they couldn't acquire the rights... so they just added him anyway in a pink fire suit. All the racers are him actually.

Could we start a list of pc ports along with the best version to use? I know we can't link to them, but we could list the overall image/archive size and some of the files in the archive so people know if they are using the correct version. I've found this ordeal enlightening as to why some people say "port X" is horrible while others say it's great. They might be talking about completely different ports.

I'm not sure how far to take that. I set the PC versions of Daytona USA and Sega Rally up never to play them again.
IIRC, there's an extra track, but not much else reason to play them when the arcade version is emulated so well.
I was thinking more along the lines of making a "most wanted" thread.
"What unemulated arcade racing game is your most wanted?"
...and then try to find the best current option.
Originally I thought the file size might be enough of a hint to violate the rules.
We have no problem with listing the file size or list of the contents of roms though, so maybe?

Riptide GP2 currently available for $1.39 on Steam

Requires at least DirectX10, so if you have XP you are out of luck.
Looks good. I'm buying it! ;D
