Saw and played the Sega Rally game at an arcade, and I was wondering if
there is a good Rally game available for the PC.  I understand there is
one coming out on the Sega Saturn system but I'm looking for a PC game.

Thanks much,
Wholi

       Not much out there in the PC world.  I saw a demo of the Staturn
Sega Rally and it looked really good.  since Sega is porting many of it's
titles to the PC I suggest you get a good 3d video card that supports the
Sega ports and go for the Sega Rally.  The Diamond Edge?(oh and a Pentium
with mega Horsepower will help too.  Or you can spend 300 on a Saturn and
60 for the Sega Rally.  dang but that looking better and better.

You may try the rally mode in the need for speed, it's quite realistic.

The only Rally Simulation I know of on the PC is Europress' aged
Network Q RAC Rally.  This game was released back in 1993.  Some
of the graphics look pretty (lots of textures), but the handling
model is absolutely terrible (unplayably so).  It's also bug
ridden, and very prone to crashing on just about any machine. So,
in short don't buy it!!

*But*, there is some positive news on the subject (and I haven't
seen this mentioned anywhere yet).  A friend of mine in the leisure
software trade tells me that Europress are hard at work on a sequal,
which will be released sometime next year.  Let's just hope they
get it right this time.
