Pack-in-Video
are actually Victor Japan (JVC) and are well known for making and
releasing many sub standard games but strangely enough also responsible
for the cult Mega CD and Saturn Keio games.
Wangan Dead Heat is probably not the worst racer on the Saturn but sure
comes close. There seems to be only 5 different tracks that don't take
too long to complete. There are night modes and so on but that doesn't
really make you want to keep playing. Even the chance to see one of the
ten ladies isn't even going to keep you playing! The funny thing is that
Wangan was programmed by Genki, the same people behind the Shutokou
Battle (Tokyo Highway Battle) games on the Saturn and Dreamcast. It
seems that this was their first attempt at a Highway Racing title in 3D.
Pack-in-Video did actually release another Wangan racing game featuring
anime characters but that was God awful. Probably because they made it
themselves.
