VIRTUA RACING (SEGA GENESIS SG)

Virtua Racing is Sega's first-ever polygon-based 3D racing game. The game involves racing Formula 1-style cars around a beginner, intermediate or expert track, competing against a second player or computer drivers. Despite the Formula 1 cars, the game controls are very "arcade" and players can see the jump they made from here to Daytona.

The Megadrive/Genesis version of Virtua Racing is noteworthy as it is the only game for the system that features the SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) chip. The chip is a 3D processor built into each cartridge (the console itself had limited 3D capability) and is very similar to SNES' SuperFX chips, used in games such as Starfox and Stunt Race FX.
