Double Clutch is one of those Genesis racers that looks simple at first—just a top-down, pixelated track and a car that handles like it’s on ice—but give it five minutes and you’ll be white-knuckling the controller. The clutch mechanic actually matters here: shift too early or too late, and you’ll spin out on tight turns while the clock ticks down.

The tracks start easy, but by the third race, you’re weaving through traffic with zero room for error. I remember thinking the graphics were basic until I hit the night stages—headlights actually cast a glow on the road, which was wild for the time. It’s got that arcade vibe where every retry feels like you *almost* had it, so you keep going "one more time."

If you dig old-school racers that punish mistakes but reward clean runs, this one’s a blast from the past worth digging up.
