Sega's Touring Car

BIG SNIP!!! Ahhh so you finally got on TEN and NROS. Good to know I'm not the only norwegian there!!! Drop me a line and we'll race sometime... BTW... you part of a "team" yet.... "The Vikings" does sound good :)))) Pssst! It really rocks dosn't it ?? !!!! Edwin Solheim, Norway ed_ on NROS http//:home.sol.no/~solhmrek "Early on, the cars were getting faster and faster. And with good reason: everybody was cheating." - Richard Petty

I can't get my hands on TOCA (by Infogrames?) and so I was very tempted on picking up Sega's title Touring Car. I believe there are on a handful of cars (four to six cars if I'm not mistaken) and about four tracks. Has anyone seen or played this game? I would like some feedback before I make my decision whether to wait for TOCA or pick up Sega's title. Thanks in advance.

My advice is; stay clear of SEGA Touring Car, it`s terrible, I cant warn people enough about this one. It does not have any redeeming features, in my not so humble opinion, wait for TOCA (Codemasters :-), although not a SIM, it`s fairly close and actually very enjoyable.

I think there is a lot of agreement on this one. I have played the full version of TOCA and the demo of Sega touring car, being a bit of a sim head I wasn't really impressed by either, BUT, TOCA was miles better, the Sega game was a laugh in the arcade but it is rubbish on the PC. Avoid. -- Steve

Well, it's unanimous (sp?). Sega's Touring Car sucks, BIG TIME. Shame on you Sega for wasting shelf space with this title. And for anyone in the Toronto area, have any of you seen TOCA by Codemasters in stores?

I own both TOCA and Sega Touring Car (it was on sale for $10 and I was weak) and I say definitely wait for TOCA. The Sega game is no where near as good as TOCA. TOCA has the real drivers, tracks, and cars and is a lot of fun to bash fenders with the computer cars. It makes the Sega game look bad in comparison. I'm not sure if TOCA is out in the US yet, but I found my copy at a local shop that sells used titles and for some mysterious reason there it was in the used section. You could also try and mail order from a place that imports games although the shipping might be pretty high. Jeff

Me too. and SEGA TCC is just cheep SEGA Saturn convert. Aboid as pest! :) You can able to try what a sh?t it is at http://www.sega.com/spotlight/racing/touring_car/ "SEGA Rally Championship 2" and "Daytona USA 2 NASCAR" are TRUSH IT items too. I'd like to race daytona in Papyrus NASCAR2 and 3. Y.Minami

> And for anyone in the Toronto area, have any of you seen TOCA by > Codemasters in stores? Hi Arthur, I found TOCA at an Electronics Boutique at the local mall. Normally I avoid their overpriced stuff like the plague, but it was the only place I could find it (and I got their only copy). So far, it was money well spent... -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA

Hi ed_ Too much of a loner to join a team, at least for now, keeping an eye out for you when I`m there though, you can usually find me racing a long(ish) dega, (yes I know, I`m turning into a degahead :-) or the roadcourses almost every evening, btw The Pits is starting a new league on TEN, with the usual "Pits touch" it should be something special, have a look Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy Unclegoy on TEN YES it rocks
