Power Drive Pt) on the Sega Genesis is one of those racing games that feels simple at first—just pick a car and go—but then the tracks start throwing sharp turns, obstacles, and aggressive AI drivers at you. The handling actually matters here; some cars grip better on tight corners, while others are speed demons but slide all over the place. I remember picking the wrong one early on and spinning out every other lap.

The tracks have this old-school arcade vibe, with bright colors and a surprising amount of detail for the era. You’ll race through cities, deserts, even icy roads where braking at the wrong moment sends you into a wall. It’s not just about speed—you’ve gotta learn the layouts or you’ll keep eating pavement.

It’s the kind of game where you lose a race by half a second and immediately hit retry. If you’ve got a Genesis lying around, this one’s a solid pick for quick, chaotic races.
