Sega Rally is a classic arcade racing game developed by Sega AM3 and released in 1994. It became one of the most influential rally racing games, known for its fast-paced gameplay, smooth controls, and innovative terrain effects that impacted vehicle handling. The game features a time-based checkpoint system where players race through different off-road environments, including desert, forest, and mountain tracks.

Unlike many racing games of its time, Sega Rally introduced realistic physics and drift mechanics, making it both challenging and rewarding. The game offered two playable cars—the Toyota Celica GT-Four and Lancia Delta HF Integrale—each with distinct handling characteristics. Sega Rally was a massive success in arcades and later saw ports to the Sega Saturn and PC. Its impact on the racing genre was significant, inspiring future rally games with its arcade-style mechanics and terrain-based driving physics.
