Micro Machines is a top-down racing game developed by Codemasters, themed around Galoob's brand of toys of the same name. It was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, before being brought to the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear in 1994. The Master System and Game Gear versions were released exclusively in Europe.
Contents
Gameplay
What sets Micro Machines apart from its competition of the day is the size of the vehicles used, so rather than simply racing around a generic track, the player must race around much smaller areas such as table tops. There are a variety of different vehicles that are automatically assigned depending on the track.
History
Development
In early 1993, Micro Machines was originally being advertised as an unlicensed title in the UK[9]. It is thought to have been delayed a few months in order to acquire an official license by Sega.
Legacy
Due to its success, Micro Machines was followed by Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament and numerous other sequels.
