F355 Challenge Arcade

As the name suggests, the game has you race in a Ferrari F355 against other cars around a series of tracks. No other cars feature within the game though there are a number of options allowing help you driving as you wish. The player races through tracks based on real locations aiming to finish first. Twin arcade cabinets supports to two players on a different screen.

The arcade F355 Challenge is also notable for its deluxe configuration, which adds an extra two screens on either side of the "main" monitor. This allows players to look left or right and see more of the playfield. It is impossible in F355 Challenge to change the view - games are always played as if the player was sitting in the driver's seat.

F355 Challenge was conceived by Yu Suzuki, who had been working for over ten years trying to deliver a true driving experience to video game consumers. The game can be seen as a spiritual sequel to the 1986 release of OutRun, however was designed with a completely different style of gameplay in mind. Whereas OutRun (and many other Sega arcade racers) aim for a unrealistic and fast-paced arcade experience, F355 Challenge aims to be as realistic as possible, giving the user the experience of driving a Ferrari without actually owning one.

It is rumoured that Yu Suzuki's personal Ferrari F355 was used as a basis for many of the features included in this game.

The game features a hard rock soundtrack by Japanese singers Genki Hitomi and Minoru Niihara.
