Quad Challenge, called MegaTrax (メガトラックス) in Japan, is an expanded port of Namco's 1989 arcade racing game Four Trax to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991.

Gameplay

The game is a typical 3D racing game except that you race all-terrain vehicles rather than racecars. A brakes, B accelerates, and C shifts gears. ATV customization is limited to a predefined selection of body colors.
