MegaRace is a Sega Mega-CD racing/shooting game developed by Cryo Interactive Entertainment and published by The Software Toolworks.

Despite being an European game (and being advertised in Europe, to be published under the Mindscape brand), the Mega-CD version was only released in North America. It was given a supposed release date of May 1994 in the UK.[1]

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 Left and Right 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.

History

Legacy

MegaRace was followed by MegaRace 2 and MegaRace 3 in 1996 and 2002, respectively.
