Circuit on the Sega Master System is one of those weird, early racing games that feels janky at first but weirdly addictive once you get the hang of it. You’re basically just driving a little car around a top-down track, trying not to spin out on the tight turns—which happens a lot at first. The controls take some getting used to, but after a few crashes, you start nailing those drifts.

It’s got that classic late-'80s Japanese arcade vibe—bright colors, simple but catchy music, and a weirdly satisfying loop of "just one more race." Not gonna lie, the AI cars cheat like crazy, but that just makes beating them more satisfying. If you’re into retro racers, this one’s a hidden gem worth a few laps.
