Play Combat Cars (usa, Europe) Online

Combat Cars came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, published by Accolade. It was part of that mid-90s wave of games that tried to mix genres, putting combat vehicles into a racing format. You don't see many people talk about it now, but it had a certain charm if you were into that sort of thing.

You control a small armed vehicle from a top-down perspective, racing on closed circuits against other cars. The main goal is to finish first, but you also have to destroy your opponents using weapons like missiles and mines you pick up on the track. The core loop involves managing your speed around tight corners while aiming and firing at rivals; the screen scrolls with your car, keeping the action focused. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike when multiple opponents target you at once. It feels like a chaotic, slightly janky demolition derby where a well-placed shot can completely turn the race around.
