Notes:
OK conversion of one of Sega's smash arcade
hits that they seemed to pull out of their ass
by the dozen in the late 80s/early 90s. It's
still pretty terrible, but at least you can
RECOGNIZE the tunes. ;)

The first half of the soundtrack (up to Car
Select) covers the "Arcade" version of the tunes
while the second half is what songs played if you
tuned into the "FM Station" song on the Arcade.

The last four numbered stages are numbered wacky
because you could either pass through them or end
in them. This is how the OST labelled them, this
is what I stuck to here. Blame them! :)

I find the unrealism in this game hillariously
bad. It's refreshingly ironic that you can run
into Elephants that seem to litter the road -
and are also seemingly placed to hit you if the
curves in the road don't. Cable Cars are totally
off their rails and there's 2, 3 of them at a
time in San Francisco. I also like how you seem to
be driving around the rim of Niagara Falls - and
take it from someone who lives very close by and
has been to Niagara Falls dozens of times in his
life - the only road nearby is a pedestrian one
and a footbridge. :p

Package history:
1.00 2005-11-29 Dark Pulse: Initial release.
1.10 2006-03-29 Dark Pulse: Proper Japanese Game
 Name and Author Names added - now we just need
 transliterations of the song names for the most
 part.
1.15 2014-08-26 dissident93: Added composer
 credits per the OST (WM-0538~48).
1.20 2015-04-25 Monkeymook: Added tracks 37-41.
 Unknown information for numbering, so they were
 appended to the existing tracklist.
1.25 2021-12-10 The789Guy: Fixed txt file for
 vgmrips.
1.26 2022-01-03 andlabs: Further fixed txt file
 for vgmrips. Also, the date for 1.20 is the
 date of the earliest download of this pack
 available on archive.org, which is of this
 version, and is also after the 1.15 date; the
 details page and home page changelog were never
 updated, but the file was. (2014-03-20 and
 2014-08-19 could also work as possible dates
 for 1.15 and/or 1.20, based on the timestamps
 in the 1.20 zip file itself, but the pattern of
 those datestamps do not line up with the
 description of the change, so I did not use
 them.)
