Game Overview

Circuit, The is one of those SEGA Master System racers that somehow slipped under the radar—probably because it never left Japan. But if you dig top-down racing with that late '80s arcade vibe, this one's a blast. The tracks are narrow, packed with traffic, and just chaotic enough to make every turn feel like a tiny victory.

It’s got that Micro Machines energy—quick races, tight controls, and a surprising amount of strategy when you’re trying to squeeze past three cars at once. The pixel art pops with bright colors, and the music nails that upbeat SEGA sound. No frills, no career mode, just pure racing. If you’ve got a soft spot for forgotten retro games, this one’s worth dusting off.
