Rage SigmaThis 2023 pixel artwork was made as part of the FT project in celebrating Daytona USA 2. It was an initial idea before I became aware later on that they announced the rerelease of the game under the non-licensed name Sega Racing Classic 2.
Sadly, instead of being a standalone game or getting an arcade cabinet like the first SRC, it's only playable within a modern Sega game called Like a Dragon Gaiden. Moreover, only the Power Edition is in the game and no Battle on the Edge, which means the Forest Dome version is arcade exclusive as of the rerelease.
Anyhow, regarding the fan art, initially I planned to make the BG resemble more to the Forest Dome version. Yet, I decided to imagine drawing it within the limitation of what the NES game could handle, which explains why the sky was left clear. To make the sky BG look at least interesting, I added clouds based on what they were seen in the Power Edition of the Beginner course.
Cars featured in this drawing include Phantom, Chums Gum, and a tiny red-and-yellow car seen from the far distance (either a Scorpio Plasma or a car opponent.)
Other than that, just a pixel art expressing the memories I have had with Daytona USA 2, even though I mainly stood near the machine to look at the attract mode for most of the times. Battle on the Edge was rarer to find for most arcades I went in the past.
Daytona USA 2 or Sega Racing Classic 2 and its contents belong to Sega.
