#REDIRECT [[San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing (Arcade)#San Francisco Rush The Rock: Alcatraz Edition]]
[[File:Rtr_flyer.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|Flyer]]Released a year later in 1997, San Francisco Rush The Rock: Alcatraz Edition is a content upgrade to the original game. It was released as both an upgrade kit for existing machines and as a full dedicated cabinet. The new boot ROM, sound ROM, security PIC, four audio ROMs, and hard drive all need to be installed to upgrade the game software.
 
== Differences between SFR and RTR ==
=== Gameplay ===
* Four new tracks, four new cars, and a new song are included.
* Extra shortcuts have been added to the original three tracks.
* To select alternative sets of cars, pressing View 1 now cycles through each set of cars instead of needing to be held down to alternate between the original two sets.
* Game difficulty and number of laps per track is now adjustable in the test menu.
* The tracks now have names (Golden Gate, Embarcadero, Market) instead of just being named their difficulty level.
 
=== Visual ===
* The track selection previews are from a different angle, with some different noted landmarks on each track and the track outline having different geometry.
* The purple RUSH logo that spins towards the screen now spells out ROCK and has a blueish hue to it. Instead of being interrupted by when loading is done, the logo now always reaches behind the camera.

* The transmission shifters on the selection screen have been redrawn. The in-game icons retain the original look.

* View 2 (hood view) is now centered on the hood instead of being on the driver's side. It is also slightly closer to the windshield.
* The mini-map no longer has a white outline and now shows the number of laps for every course. Originally, only Tracks 2 and 3 would show the laps remaining while Track 1 would only show the checkered flag.

* Moving to View 3 is now always instantaneous, where before in SFR there was a visible movement of the camera moving to behind the car when at speeds ≤ 50 MPH.
 
=== Audio ===
* Races start with the track's default song selected, instead of defaulting to song #0 (silence).
* The track selection song is a remixed version of the one in SFR.
* The race countdown fanfare is different.
* The announcer lines for choosing a track is different.
* The explosion sound no longer shares the same channel as the percussion in the music, meaning that the drums in songs don't cut out anymore if the player explodes.
 
=== Other ===
* The seat portion of the cabinet is now detachable, making it easier to transport.
