***Racing Days** (レーシング・デイズ)* is a CD-ROM-based driving game for Pippin consoles. It was developed by Kitt Peak and distributed in Japan and the United States by Bandai Digital Entertainment in 1996.

## Features

The player can select between single play, network play, and simulation modes. This was the only Pippin @WORLD title to be released in the United States with support for multiplayer gaming, though two networked consoles were required.

## Releases

*Racing Days* was originally developed for Power Macintosh and released in Japan in 1995. Bandai Digital Entertainment released a hybrid version in Japan for Pippin Atmark and Power Macintosh in March 1996.

A Mac-compatible demo version was included with the Pioneer MPC-LX200 series, which was released in Japan on July 1, 1996. Pioneer, like Bandai, was among the few Japanese companies that obtained a license from Apple Computer to build Macintosh clones.

*Racing Days* was one of a few games also released by Bandai Digital Entertainment as a launch title for the Pippin @WORLD in the United States. A separate Macintosh version had been scheduled for a U.S. release in January 1997, which was pushed back to August 1997.

An updated version, *Racing Days R*, was released for Mac by Feral Interactive in 1999 and was ported to Pocket PC by Kitt Peak in 2001.

## Collectibility

Due to the rarity of the U.S. version in particular, a specimen with the original blue box can fetch hundreds of dollars at auction sites.
