Posted by substance J on July 18, 2010 at 03:01:27 EST in reply to Huh I was going to say Hydro was the only Thunder game on DC, but GameFAQs also lists a "4 Wheel Thunder," also published by Midway, with one glowing user review. Hadn't heard of the game before. Ooh let's see what YouTube has on it (inside...) The hazy brown of that track isn't as interesting as most Hydro Thunder stages, but gameplay-wise it doesn't look half bad. The GameFAQs user review says it was formerly called "Xleration," but I don't see an arcade game by that name--so was this a console-only game? from Paleface.
This suddenly jogged my memory. Sega made this really cool monster truck rally type game called Dirt Devils, I think, right around this same time. I played it in one arcade before it disappeared. I wonder if it was officially distributed in the US. It's a damn shame all their big attraction type games of that era never got ported to Dreamcast (and damn were there a lot of them) though I do wonder if they'd be any fun without a big machine to sit in.
