Gallop Racer video game

[ok now what]

Saw someone talking about Madden and it made me think of this. . .

I'm aware of a game called Gallop Racer from a few years back. Anyone here ever play it? If so, is it worth getting. Apparently, this game IS (or say "was") hard to find in the US and I know nobody who played. If it's any good, I'll buy it off ebay.

I played it till I beat it.Very fun if you are into horse racing but this was 10 years ago so I don't know if anyone would like it now that they are spoiled with todays technology.

i have Gallop Race 2006 for the PS2, its fun to play, there is supposed to be one coming out for the Wii, at least in Japan anyway, horse racing games are a lot bigger over there..

Last one I played was for PS1 but it was really fun from what I remember.

Speaking of games, do you guys remember the Royal Ascot game by Sega in Casinos? It took quarters and had mechanical horses that would race. There was a newer version which was all video but my local casinos took those out too.

Absolutely, I remember that game.

I'm aware they are no longer in America. I think some remain in Canada, the Caribbean, etc.

At Tahoe's Montbleu (confirmed), and (perhaps/hopefully still) at MGM in Las Vegas, the original Sigma Derby game remains.

I enjoyed the Sega game much more. Graphics and more betting options.
