   Yessir, that's from me.  That could be a good reason why SRR isn't   
   getting the talk here, but I thought Colin McRae and Rally Sport   
   Challenge sold well in the US.

   My take is that it says Sega in the title, and the reviewers said it was   
   "shallow" for having "only" 21 tracks.

   I'm hoping that the original Celica and Lancer will unlock at some   
   point.  But oh, all I drive is a '93 Civic Del Sol.  That thing's engine   
   wouldn't work well on a dirt bike.  ;(
