F1 on the Sega Master System is about as barebones as racing games get—no fancy career mode, no garage tinkering, just you, a grid of pixelated cars, and some surprisingly decent handling for an 8-bit racer. The tracks are simple but recognizable if you squint hard enough, and the AI drivers actually put up a fight instead of just rolling over. It’s not exactly a looker by today’s standards, but there’s something satisfying about nailing those tight corners without spinning out for the hundredth time.

Honestly, it’s one of those games where you either bounce off immediately or end up weirdly addicted to shaving half a second off your lap times. The engine noise alone will haunt your dreams.
