Reception

edit

In Japan, Game Machine listed Dirt Dash on their February 15, 1996 issue as being the third most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month.[2] Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "Essentially, Dirt Dash is to Sega Rally what Tekken is to Virtua Fighter, and with its attractive use of the Super System 22 board, light-sourcing and backgrounds, plus the excellent feel of the cars themselves, Namco has another hit on its hands."[1]
