Sega Rally Championship

When Sega Rally first appeared in the arcades, there were few people who did not admit to being totally under its spell. Superb, in-yer-face graphics coupled with super-slidey realistic handling made it the driving game of choice for boy racers across the country. Unfortunately, a fair bit was lost in the PC conversion, and the general consensus was that it was better suited to the arcades than it was to the PC screen. Screamer Rally and Colin McRae Rally have more to offer in the long term, and even if you want a quick half-hour blast in your lunch break or want to use it as a post-pub reaction tester, you'd be better off buying the budget version of Screamer instead.
