Newman Haas Indy Car Featuring Nigel Mansell is one of those early '90s racers that somehow nails the feel of IndyCar without drowning you in realism. You jump right into qualifying laps, and the handling’s surprisingly tight for a Genesis game—no floaty nonsense here. The tracks are narrow, so you’ll spend half your time wrestling the car out of the walls if you’re not careful.

Nigel Mansell’s name is plastered everywhere, but honestly, the real star is the speed. When you hit a straightaway, the blur effect actually makes you grip the controller a little tighter. The AI’s aggressive too—they’ll shove you into the grass if you leave an opening. Not the deepest racer out there, but it’s got that arcade-y vibe where one more race always feels tempting. Just don’t expect a pit crew to save you when you botch the last turn.
