It was later re-tooled by Betson in 2003 as San Francisco Rush 2049: Special Edition, removing online functionality.

The game received a limited-release upgrade in 2000 as San Francisco Rush 2049: Tournament Edition, which allowed players to play online tournaments with the Midway Tournament Network while adding new content (including two tracks, four cars, and new shortcuts for existing tracks). It is the last game released under the Atari Games label. It also features a new player tracking system, where players join 'Team Rush' by inputting their name and PIN on a 12-button keypad (using a traditional payphone keypad) to track their stats on that machine and receive access to unlockable tracks and cars. Along with a major update ( San Francisco Rush the Rock: Alcatraz Edition), the game was ported to both the Dreamcast and Nintendo 64, and received a handheld Game Boy Color adaptation.Īn arcade sequel to the 1996 game San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing, 2049 features a new futuristic sci-fi theme and updated graphics hardware (powered by the 3dfx Voodoo 3 chipset). > Want to learn more about how I put my sets together, discover my other vintage content, or join the Retro Game Champion community on Discord, Twitch, and your socials? Head to, I would love to welcome you.San Francisco Rush 2049 is an over-the-top sci-fi street racing game developed and released by Atari Games (later as Midway Games West) for arcades in June 1999. Tested with: Nintendo 64 using an EverDrive-64 X7 Items removed: Non-working dumps, duplicates, prototypes of games that eventually saw a release, European or Japanese titles when there were North American versions available, homebrew games, Aleck 64 and N64DD games (because they will be in different future sets), and titles not in English that require proficiency in another language to play - those can be found in my Nintendo 64 Language Pack here:

Special items included: Prototypes, unreleased games, titles not in English (but only if they are easy enough to play without being fluent in another language), English-patched translations, Mario no Photopie, the Pokémon Snap Station, the N64DD IPLROM, Action Replay Pro, Xplorer 64, GameBooster 64, GameShark Pro, and the GameCube special editions of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Master Quest, all of which were included as bonus games on GameCube releases (but were actually just emulated Nintendo 64 ROMs). The weirdest controllers of any system at the time (maybe ever?), a library that featured mostly official Nintendo titles as the top gems, and the console that my parents bought me on my Birthday to help soften the blow of their divorce.
