Gameplay
GTI Club: Rally Côte d'Azur is a game that lets players drive eight cars including the GTI, Le Car, and VM Rabbit, and the course winds through a European city.[1]
Development and release
The first GTI Club game was released for the arcades in 1996 by Konami, on their new Cobra arcade board.[2] Three models were released: a deluxe single-player cabinet, a dual sitdown cabinet, and a single-player sitdown cabinet.[3] In the U.S., the deluxe model was released only in very limited numbers.[4]
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed GTI Club: Rally Côte d'Azur on their February 1, 1997 issue as being the third most-successful dedicated arcade game of the year.[5] Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "In the end, GTI Club is a sufficiently immersive one-player game, but with a field in a Tag Race, it's a blast."[1]
