Gallop Racer 2004 out of the gate

Tecmo's fourth installment of its Gallop Racer series, Gallop Racer 2004, has shipped to retailers. The horse-racing simulator, which the company is calling "the sports game to own this year," will ship in limited quantities, says the publisher. Featuring a variety of new modes as well as an upgraded betting system, Tecmo is hoping the new title will appeal to horse-racing specialists and nonfans alike.
