Gameplay

GTI Club: Rally Côte d'Azur is a game that lets players drive eight cars including the GTI, Le Car, and VM Rabbit, and the course winds through a European city.[1]

Development and release

The first GTI Club game was released for the arcades in 1996 by Konami, on their new Cobra arcade board.[2] Three models were released: a deluxe single-player cabinet, a dual sitdown cabinet, and a single-player sitdown cabinet.[3] In the U.S., the deluxe model was released only in very limited numbers.[4]

Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed GTI Club: Rally Côte d'Azur on their February 1, 1997 issue as being the third most-successful dedicated arcade game of the year.[5] Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "In the end, GTI Club is a sufficiently immersive one-player game, but with a field in a Tag Race, it's a blast."[1]

gollark: This is done by making it so that they require large amounts of memory (I think this is mostly an issue for FPGAs though?) or basically just general purpose computation (regular CPUs are best at this) or changing the algorithm constantly so ASICs aren't economically viable.

gollark: Mining isn't guessing primes, mostly it's just bruteforcing a hash with a particular number of leading zeros
gollark: They had 5000-series ones too, but not, to my knowledge, 4000, 3000, etc (recently).
