Okay, so Need for Speed Undercover on the Genesis is basically what happens when you take the arcadey chaos of early NFS and cram it into 16-bit form. The first thing you notice? The cars handle like they’re on ice—in a weirdly fun way. You’ll fishtail through turns, barely dodge traffic, and somehow still feel like a street racing legend.

It’s got that classic undercover cop vibe—blow past speed traps, outrun rivals in these hilariously dramatic chases. Graphics are blocky but charming, especially when you’re weaving through traffic at night with the cops flashing red in your rearview. Not gonna lie, the soundtrack’s a banger too, all squealing guitars and synth beats that somehow make crashing into a lamppost feel cool.

If you’ve got nostalgia for that era of racing games where realism took a backseat to pure, chaotic fun, this one’s a solid time capsule. Just don’t expect Gran Turismo.
