GP Rider on the Sega Master System is one of those old-school arcade racers that feels simple at first—until you realize how slippery the handling is. You’re basically just racing against the clock on winding tracks, trying not to wipe out on every sharp turn. The bike physics are weirdly floaty, but once you get used to it, there’s a weird charm to the jank.

Graphics are about what you’d expect from an 8-bit racer—blocky roadside scenery, basic sprites—but the sense of speed isn’t bad for the era. No multiplayer, no power-ups, just you, the road, and the constant fear of skidding into oblivion. It’s the kind of game you either bounce off immediately or end up weirdly obsessed with for an afternoon.
