Mega Drive

The Model 1 arcade board consists of then-cutting edge graphics hardware supplied by US military contractors - even with the SVP chip, the Mega Drive version cannot hope to match the arcade version's visuals. Polygon counts are dramatically reduced across the board - the pit crew are little more than rectangles, and much of the intricate scenery details have been dropped.
