Zag dit op een andere forum en vond het echt hartverwarmend maar het maakte me ook gelijktijdig triestig. Deze 14 jarige jongen is een grote fan van Daytona (hoeveel 14 jarige kennen dit spel tegenwoordig nog?) en wacht vol ongeduld op een nieuwe Daytona. Hij post al 4 jaar lang op het gamefaqs board waar hij haast geen enkele replay krijgt buiten een paar flamers. Hij zit er dus zo\'n beetje tegen zichzelf te posten.

Hello, my name is Eric. I\'m 14 and I live in California in the United States. I feel priviledged to send you this e-mail, despite the language barrier.
I am here to tell you about Daytona USA. I\'m a very big fan of the work you\'ve put into it, especially Daytona USA 2. I will go as far as to say it\'s my most favorite game ever. However, I am also quite depressed about its current state. Around here, no one plays it anymore. Games such as Initial D, Mario Kart, F-Zero, and Project Gotham Racing (the list goes on) prevail over this excellent masterpiece you\'ve created. Though there is also Daytona USA on Dreamcast which I enjoyed (and has several innovative ideas I liked), it\'s not the same as the arcade Daytona. How could you turn Daytona USA over the AV team like that? You people know how to make a racing game.
The thing is, I\'ve been playing Daytona USA 2: Power Edition at my arcade for the last 3 years. It\'s been lots of fun, but now it\'s beginning to lose steam. After all, with only 4 cars & 3 tracks (Challenge course doesn\'t count), it doesn\'t take long for the replay value to run low, especially for less-enthusiastic racing fans which consists of most of the population. Also, I have never really enjoyed multiplayer races; not many people are playing Daytona USA anymore. But you already knew that. To this day I\'m still surprised the Daytona USA 2 cabinet is still there in the arcade; waiting for me to come around and set a new record every once in a while.
So after much thought in the past, I\'ve been thinking of a new Daytona USA game. It sounds crazy, but I\'d like that. In a nutshell, it could be a compilation of all the Daytona games. All the cars and all the tracks plus more. It could revive the Daytona series once and for all. That would be great.<hr height=\"1\" noshade id=\"quote\"></blockquote id=\"quote\"></font id=\"quote\">
[:0]In tijden dat heel wat gamers 4 à 5 consoles op hun TV hebben aangesloten, heel wat games nauwelijks uit de verpakking worden gehaald heb je aan de andere kant een 14 jarige jongen die vol toewijding naar de arcadehal trekt om Daytona te spelen en zoals hij zegt nog één van de weinige is die er nog op speelt.
Ik hoop alvast dat AM2 zo beleefd is om deze jongen een replay op zijn e-mail te sturen.
