I remember being stunned by the Arcade original. Seeing it run in real time was unlike anything else, bleeding edge 3D technology combined with a fantastic cabinet. I was upset when I had to leave the Arcade as a kid!
However, as time moved on, it got left behind in the history books. Subsequent 3D Racers played better, with more depth and refined 3D. However, the Switch port made me appreciate the game in a new light. There's a real purity to the basic control, clean 3D aesthetics and wringing the most out a perfect lap time is not only addictive but supprisingly difficult.
It remains a turning point in 3D technology and game history. Although others racers may be more fondly remembered, Virtua Racing is one of the most pure racing games I've ever played. As others have said, the M2 Developed Switch port is an exceptional way to play the game in 2020 too.
