A decent port of a great game. Mostly looks good on my Win98 PC, but there is some visual weirdness here and there. Sound effects and voices are present, but there’s weirdly no music which kills the vibe to a degree.
There's a version that supports Direct3D floating around (it was apparently bundled with a graphics card). Though I'm not sure if it just didn't work for me but I remember it looking no better but having more graphical glitches.
I was sure there was music, but I'm also remembering something from over 20 years ago that didn't work amazing on my PC at the time in the first place.
It definitely has at least one song. I think there's a Daytona USA demo hidden somewhere on the disc too - though that might be on the TOCA disc.
That’s strange, I had #SegaRally on PC too, still have the CDrom to this day, and there was definitely music, the same CD quality music as the Saturn version, and I never had any issues running the game at all. Although I see @famicomputing.blog has a very different looking disc to mine:
I mean my PC in the late '90s was a complete pile of ass so that didn't help. It had very weird issues with the menus, though the game itself worked fine.
But I'm glad someone else remembers music! I'm not crazy!
Ah I see! And yeah I can never forget that music, it’s burned in my brain since 30 years 😂 Not sure what caused your menu issues, but the PC I had at the time was running Windows 95 on a Pentium 166mhz with 16mb RAM. No dedicated GPU, just an on-board graphics chip
I mean hear the Sega Rally soundtrack once and you never forget it.
I had a Pentium 90, but I don't remember what was handling the graphics. It was definitely something I had never seen before or since - I think it was using some kind of special rendering for them?
