San Francisco Rush 2049 is a legendary arcade racer that defined an era of over-the-top driving games — and it absolutely deserves a home on GOG. Developed by Midway, this futuristic sequel to the Rush series pushed the boundaries of what racing games could be, combining speed, creativity, and pure adrenaline into one unforgettable experience.

Battle mode brought chaotic multiplayer combat to the table, adding replayability and party-game appeal. The futuristic visuals, catchy soundtrack, and tight controls helped solidify it as a complete and polished arcade package.
