Seeing the IGN launch coverage for Forza Horizon 6, it encouraged me to look back on my own launch coverage for @ForzaHorizon back in 2012. All be it with limited production value option.

@ArcadeRacing_0 Nice! Personally I never got on with it at the time, posting better lap times on Ridge Racer and Wipeout with the standard controller. But with this adaptor it certainly appears to add a lot to these Saturn titles.

Got my #neGcon setup now, thanks to the raphnet. PS1/PS2 to USB adapter.
Never used one before EVER. What's the first thing I do with it?
PLAY SEGA SATURN GAMES 😍
* Decided to record some b-roll live footage too - something new for ARC! *

Nice! Capturing that Wave Race vibe despite still being in early development. The water racing genre is still so underused and underappreciated.

Progress on a few scenes from my Wave Race inspired game, title TBD. #devlog #indiedev #gamedev #racinggames #rally #unity3d

@dantemendes When it first came out in the arcade, I was too small to play it properly. It was a big old bike cab.

HANG-ON (Sega, 1985)
The first of Sega's Super Scaler arcade games. Designed by Yu Suzuki, had a motorcycle-shaped cabinet where players physically lean left/right. Sometimes confused with its own sequel SUPER HANG-ON (released 2 years later with a wider range of Western home ports).
Also available on the Master System, MSX, SG-1000 and PC-88.

Personally I was hugely disappointed with the rushed Saturn version. The Dreamcast version was also disappointing in that it wasn't a direct conversion and didn't handle particularly well with the stick. Only when the vastly superior XB360/PS3 version came along in 2011 did we finally have an authentic conversion.

When I heard Daytona USA was coming to the Sega Saturn, I sold all my other consoles and saved up for it. Finally got the Saturn and Daytona running at home—total mind-blow 🤯. Sure, it wasn’t quite arcade-perfect, but just being able to play it at home was enough.
By the time Dreamcast came around, the port was almost flawless. Fun fact: Saturn was almost done as a 2D machine, but after seeing PlayStation’s 3D power, Sega tweaked it late—3D performance ended up a bit lacking. Irony is, the same Sega that pioneered 3D with Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter thought consoles weren’t ready yet.

This conversation is a great example of the internet today.
This person is arguing with me about Ridge Racer, a game many of you know has been one of my passions for decades. Yet despite my putting forward simple facts they cannot penetrate someone's skewed perspective.
I come up against this a lot these days, especially when gamers are defensive over the games they enjoy and hence, lack objectivity.
To conclude, because Ridge Racer had no loading times, we could pop the game CD out and put our own music CD in.

@HenkJF @american80s You said there were loading times, there aren't. So, our perceptions on facts clearly differ.
