    And yes it is real. No lie. But not sure if it is region free.

    It is region free.
    The Mega Drive was far inferior to the NES in terms of diffusion rate and sales in the Japanese market, though there were ardent Sega users. But in the US and Europe, we knew Sega could challenge Nintendo. We aimed at dominating those markets, hiring experienced staff for our overseas department in Japan, and revitalising Sega of America and the ailing Virgin group in Europe.

    Then we set about developing killer games.

    Wow.

    "No realistic backgrounds. No sponsored cars. Only fun retro gameplay." I like it!

    And I like the music on the ad. Does that music happen to actually be in the game at all?

    Also the game looks great, but it looks like it could have been great on the Genesis, or on virtually ANY system... Still it looks very nice...

    That is the beauty of it for me; it's a great anyconsole game. I am interested.

    Looks pretty cool! Unfortunately, Dreamcasts do die... like mine has.

    Ya, I heard from a few guys who have played it at the DC-Talk forums that it's a very fun game.

    You can either be 1st, 2nd or 3rd to qualify and continue to the next stage, or else, you have to restart the race and lose one credit. I think you have two credits.

    This game is hard but fair. No cars will slow down if you hit a wall, and no cars will boost (read Mario Kart here), if you have taken the lead.

    When you are Game Over youīll get a code, that you can write in on http://www.senileteam.com/scoreboard.html to see in which place you are in, in the world.

    You can choose between five cars (if I remember right), that have difference speed and control on the road.

    You can play up to four players in multiplayer modes.

    You will be suprised how good this game is.
    They have a deluxe issue that comes with a copy of the games music. If I were to buy it,I would by the Deluxe edition.

    The cars look like they were ripped straight from GTA.

    Thanks for reminding me, I meant to order the game. By the way, for those of us in the US you can order the game from Play-asia, the shipping charges are much cheaper, coming out to $29 shipped for the regular version.
