Game of the Day - Mille Miglia 2
Please, how cool are these graphics? Mille Miglia 2 (aka Great 1000 Miles Rally 2) is a racing game with a unique flavor. There are many racing games with 1st or 3rd person "over the shoulder" perspective and a lot of older racing games with a top-down from-the-sky perspective. Mille Miglia 2 takes a close, low angle that makes the racing tight and fun. A little bit of map and some arrows on the track give you fair warning of when to turn and the action is smooth and fun (arcade-like, NOT quasi realism).
I don't like a lot of racing games, I find lots of them boring, but the sumptuous graphics and unique perspective make this game particularly fun. The old-timey looking race cars are really cool.
The MAME controls are nice, too - you can choose in the dip switches between 8-way JS and 270 or 360 degree wheels (steering wheel or what I use, a spinner/dial). Both the JS and spinner control the game well. The time limits of the segments are good, too, as you are always close to not making it.
