It seems like a million years ago when Sega released its fabled Daytona USA racing game, but really it was 1993. Still, the game is considered a classic. There was a hot arcade version that it shot it out of the blocks. Of course, the fact that it deals with the single biggest day in any given NASCAR season helps.

The good news for both race fans and retro fans is that Daytona USA has been recently announced for both the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. While fans screamed for a more recent port, the license for its name belonged to the International Speedway Corporation, making it trickier than usual.

Touted as one of the highest grossing arcade games of all times, Daytona USA is sure to breathe life into some fans of the golden oldies. While it can still handle multiplayer gaming, it won’t be quite the same as those gigantic eight-player competitive cabinets, but it is sure to offer some classic racing fun.
