Virtua Racing Deluxe

This page details one or more prototype versions of Virtua Racing Deluxe.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

General#

The "Virtua Racing" announcer was changed quite a bit between versions. Notably, the voice clip in the prototype actually originates from the arcade version where it exists unused in the files.

The opening is missing a backing track in the two earliest prototypes, making the title song sound like it's looping.
