Gameplay
MegaRace is a futuristic racing game set in a virtual world where the objective is either to win in a three-lap race or destroy all opponents on the track. It is one of several racing games produced around this period where tracks are represented entirely by full motion video - while the player can accelerate and break, it is not possible to "turn" your vehicle, with and merely adjusting its horizontal position on-screen.
In game music is not streamed off the CD, instead being generated by the sound chips of the Mega Drive.
