GP Rider on the Sega Master System is one of those old-school racers that somehow feels faster than it looks. You’re basically leaning into turns like you’re actually on a bike—except with way more pixelated scenery whipping past. The controls are dead simple: gas, brake, and tilt left or right, but nailing the perfect drift around a tight corner without eating gravel is weirdly satisfying.

It’s got that classic arcade vibe where you’re just racing against the clock, trying to shave seconds off your lap times. The tracks start easy, but before long, you’re threading between traffic and praying you don’t wipe out on a hairpin turn. And yeah, the graphics are obviously retro, but there’s something about the way the bike bounces when you land a jump that still feels great.

If you’ve got a soft spot for early racing games, this one’s a solid time capsule—just don’t expect any fancy power-ups or nitro boosts. It’s pure speed and reflexes.
