Driving games
Racing games are probably the most popular type of games in arcades. Every major brand showed one or more new driving games. As you can see it's not just about racing and being the fastest anymore, car tuning, looking good and having a nice set of wheels became very important.
Battle Gear 3.
The Fast and the Furious. You know, from the movie.. The official license,
any similarity with Faster than Speed probably is just a coincidence from Sammi's side :-)
Need for Speed Underground.. a similar racing game.
Gaelco's Tuning Race. Guess what this is about ? At least they have an original name..
Re-volt, another racing game, this time not with tuned cars..
And finally Namco's Thrilldrive 3.
