Initial D Arcade Stage 5 = TeknoParrot - RAW THRILLS
0The Initial D (頭文字イニシャルD) video game series, also known as Initial D Arcade Stage, is an arcade racing game series developed by Sega, based on the anime and manga series Initial D. In the United States and Europe, the game series is simply known as Initial D.
Premise
In the Initial D video game franchise, players race against different opponents through various mountain passes featured in the manga. Vehicles that are featured in the game are mostly Japanese cars, such as the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Mazda RX-7, Subaru Impreza, Honda Civic, as well as the Toyota AE86. Using the optional magnetic card system (arcade instalments from Arcade Stage Zero and later utilize Amusement IC, Banapassport or Aime cards rather than dedicated magnetic cards), players can save a customized car as well as their progress for future sessions; otherwise, their game progress is deleted. Players can continue growth with their cards on another Initial D cabinet of the same version. However, the card must be renewed every 50 plays.
Resuming from another version is subject to the following conditions:
There is no backward compatibility (i.e., a version 2 card cannot be used on version 1 machine).
Upgrading the card to a more recent machine is permanent.
When upgrading from one version to another, remaining plays will be carried over, and 50 plays will be credited to the card.
This feature was not present from Arcade Stage Zero to The Arcade however. Players with a save data on Arcade Stage Zero were rewarded with continued play benefits which included full tune tickets based on the number of cars owned that were fully tuned, up to 56 cars, titles based on the player's level, and avatar pieces, dressup tokens and avatar tokens based on the player's mileage.
Players with a save data from Sega World Driver Championship were rewarded with a full tune ticket and avatar pieces based on the driver level.
There are 14 games in the series; 11 for arcades and 3 for home consoles.
