SEGA GAMES FROM THE 90S SERIESBefore the start of the Gran Turismo series in ‘97 Sega was revolutionizing the landscape of the racing genre with their games. It should also be noted that Sega had also developed the Outrun arcade game back in ‘86 during a time period where Nintendo was still producing & licensing 8-bit video games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In fact, Sega was responsible for producing some of the most popular arcade racing titles in video game history. While Super Mario Kart from ‘92 and Mario Kart 64 from ‘96 are considered to be iconic racing games Sega produced high quality 3D gameplay & graphics like Virtua Racing, Sega Rally Championship, Scud Race and Crazy Taxy from ‘92-‘99. However, if you look back at some of Sega most high profile video games outside of the Sonic the Hedgehog series then it becomes clear Sega had produced far more superior racing games than Nintendo. The Dreamcast console from ‘98 had reached over 9 million in lifetime sales similar to that of Sega Saturn and was somewhat of a commercial failure. After the Sega Saturn was released in ‘94 it reached over 9 million in sales while the N64 from ‘96 hit over 32 million. While the Super Nintendo Entertainment System reached approximately 49 million in sales Sega Genesis only reached about over 30 million within years following its ‘88 release. When it comes to overall success many would argue that Nintendo produced more successful gaming consoles than Sega did throughout the 90’s decade. The console wars between Sega and Nintendo during the 90’s is something that almost every gamer knows about at this point. ![]()
