ITT: Talk about your favorite arcade games that were never ported to any console.
Racing Hero is an excellent motorcycle racing game from Sega. It features branching paths like Out Run, and each stage is broken up into two parts. First a street section where you have to weave through traffic, then a circuit section where it's just you and the other racers.
It runs on the X board hardware, the same as After Burner and Super Monaco GP, and has incredible sprite-scaling visuals. The music is also very dynamic and energetic.

Does Gauntlet Legends count? The console version seems way too vastly different from the arcade game I fell in love with.

That's because you're a graphics snob.

This used to be at a Laundromat in my town. I really hope the bugs in the emulation will be fixed soon.
Has anyone played Over Drive from Konami? It's another driving game that isn't emulated correctly.

It looks fucking incredible.
It boggles the mind why Sega never released this gem.

Black Widow? Most of the games I liked were ported to home systems.

>Sega can now rerelease all those arcade games never ported like Revenge of Death Adder, Scud Race, a proper port of Outrunners or Super Monaco GP or whatever
>instead, they keep rereleasing the same Genesis games we had a port for every conceivable console since ever
