Sega Touring Car Championship on Sega Saturn retro games console

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Sega Touring Car Championship playing on the Sega Saturn retro games console. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

I adore the Saturn but I remember being bitterly disappionted by this "game" as a kid, I had a Saturn when kids at school were ps1 players and when they saw this game..... you can imagine :P, compare this to sega rally, which apart from the size of the game is on par with any Ps1 racer, this is appauling. When are we seeing Manx tt?

[SteveBenway]

Manx TT is after Sega Rally and a couple of Dragon games. Sega Rally is in a couple of hours :D

The problem with the Sega Saturn is that its dual CPUs tried to access the system memory on the same bus at the same time which messed up the whole system due to bottlenecks, the architecture looks like it was designed for a single CPU. imo, The machine was too complex, they should of just had one fast CPU, it could of been fantastic. They would of had the means to sort out the physics of the 3d games.

Playstation got it soo right, Sega got it wrong with this one.

[SteveBenway]

Originally the Saturn was only intended for 2D and they did only have one CPU.

Then when the CEO of Sega heard the specs of the Playstation, he threw a fit, and insisted the Saturn be given more power, so it could compete with the Playstation at 3D.

So they just crammed another CPU on it... chence the bodge that it is.

Pity too, coz it's great at 2D, like it was originally meant to be.

Just got this game recently. Initially I was disapponted, but I'm really started to like game. For me the worst part of the game is the framerate. Not so bad in time attack mode but really awful when racing against other cars. Control wise I use the nights pad as I find it alot easier to play than the D-Pad.

You can get the Sega Rally cars in this game if you stick with it long enough.

As for the controls, try just slightly holding the analog stick into the turn at speed, and only release it when you're ready to go straight again. You really don't need to counter much at all. Practice on the country track for a bit. I didn't like it either when all I had was a standard pad, and now I love it.

Hmm you're spot with your reactions to this seemingly dreadful game but i honestly couldn't say for absolute sure if it's that's bad or not - i think it probably is though unless gifted at magic and can alter the controls

Iv'e seen a couple of videos now where some people manage to drive actually rather well but it sure isn't obviously how you're supposed to do it

I loved my Saturn for some quite excellent games but i don't suppose i'll care too much if i play this one again

mine was bent nails and hi-tec trainers for breaks hehehe.

[SteveBenway]

You played this pile of junk through to the last level?

You masochist! That's what I call dedication ;)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Lol, it's done by AVEX TRAX, a famous techno-pop band in Japan, They've also done a few other video games and anime soundtracks in th epast too.

The final level's music is my favourite, the red brick town I think it's called.
