Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Developed by Midway, San Francisco Rush 2049 was the final entry in the acclaimed Rush trilogy that began in arcades in 1996. The Dreamcast version is widely regarded as the definitive edition thanks to its improved physics, extended tracks, and the inclusion of the fan-favorite Stunt Mode. Its futuristic setting and free-form trick system influenced later stunt-based racing titles, helping define the genre’s evolution into the 2000s.
For collectors, this game holds a special place as one of the last major Midway arcade conversions ever released for a Sega console.
