On my MMX, though, the car transformed into something out of a dream.

On my previous P-90, the car handled just like any ordinary arcade racer- maybe it was a bit more responsive. It gets even worse then that SegaВ has managed to recreate the experience of driving a race car magnificently- for anyone who has the horsepower. Its like listening to a 45 RPM vinyl record revolving at 33. But since the game tries to lower the frame rate, instead of lose frames, the sound is slowed also. You can tell a lot of things by just listening to the engine and wheels- on my system, I could distinctly hear my right front wheel losing grip on one of the tight turns. The thing is, the developers did something very nice with the sound- its actually affected but what is going on, and actually helps you drive better. It is just awful at the lower resolutions, and if you decide that a low frame rate doesn't bother you and decide to run it at SVGA, then you'll have to turn off the sound. But if you are one of the majority, then you probably don't have the particulars needed to run it at maximum settings. In SVGA, especially with 16 bit colors, its simply fantastic- I had some trouble playing the game as my attention always wandered to all the eye candy. Sega RallyВ looks either very good or very bad, depending on your hardware. SVGA is the standard, but VGA (320x240) is also supported.

It either runs in a window or in full screen mode, with the former requiring the use of a 16 bit color palette. The game itself runs using DirectX, ships with version 3, and thoughtfully asks you whether you want it installed. Maybe Sega is willing to give 'PC stability classes'? I know of several companies who would desperately need the lessons. No crashes, hassles, or problems of any kind. Installing it was a real snap, even on my relatively unstable machine (due to different hardware being replaced while writing the review). Luckily, I got it just while I was replacing my system, and so I had the chance to see it from two different points of view- of the normal and power user. Being one of the best arcade racers around, I had high hopes for this Saturn port. In what is becoming a popular tradition, SegaВ has ported their hugely successful arcade hit, Sega Rally Championship, to the PC. 'come on, come on', muttered Troy, fondling his grIp pad and felling the empty box to the floor, right next to the Righteous 3D one. The MMX machine powered up slowly, like a giant waking from a slumber, counting the 64 MB of memory rather slowly, it seemed. His excitement showed as he slipped the CD into his new 12x SCSI CD drive. The clerk from the store called him at work to let him know the shipment came in- but hey, he was a really valued customer. Troy, 'cool-dude' to his friends, ran up the stairs, tearing the shrink-wrap from the new Sega Rally package. Inserting the CD into his 6x drive, he hoped that maybe he could have some real arcade fun with his new Pentium 100. 'Lucky to have bought the extra 8 last week', he thought. He sat in front of his 15' screen, and noted happily that the game required 16 MB.

He was quite happy when he found Sega Rally at the computer store on the way home- he remembered liking it very much seeing it run on a friend's console.
