First of all - big ups to YouTube user TheArcadeStriker (aka DaytonaFan from the Supermodel forum), because without his video https://youtu.be/v0vidxKW9eU I'd have never of heard of this in the first place: DAYTONA USA Deluxe Special Edition for the PC. Yeah, that's right, SPECIAL EDITION. Whoooo!

Info from SegaRetro: "Daytona USA Deluxe Special Edition is a rare PC game released as part of the Daytona USA franchise. It is a demo version of Daytona USA Deluxe modified to include the Skittles racing team brand. Only 100,000 copies were produced, all of which were given away as promotional items within North America only. Copies on eBay have been sighted at inflated prices of $50-$200 USD.

Only Dinosaur Canyon and a re-skinned version of the Hornet may be selected. Within Dinosaur Canyon, the billboards have been changed to Skittles advertisements, and a rainbow has been added to the skybox. All the splash screens (plus a additional Skittles Racing Team screen on boot) and menus have been modified with the Skittles branding as well. All music tracks and race tracks (though the latter could be mostly for the attract mode only) are present in the game files, but only the Skittles car has files for it, while all the other playable cars files in the normal version were removed. Options for Time Attack, 2P VS and Multiplayer are also accessible even when you can't use them here."

I'm playing this with the game's BIN file mounted in a virtual drive. Whenever I play older games like this in Win 7 I can never get the background music to play properly, so I've just added it in separately (using the music files from a Saturn Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition CD-R I burnt to play on SSF Emulator years ago, which I then ripped into Itunes. Although I've still got a Saturn I sold my original copy of CCE year ago when I was having a bit of a clearout at home. Along with my copy of Guardian Heroes, which would've been worth a fortune now.. FFS)

Hmmm, I could really go for some Skittles right now...
