Play Need for Speed Undercover Online

Need for Speed Undercover on the Sega Genesis is a top-down racer from 1990, developed by Distinctive Software and published by Electronic Arts. It arrived early in the system's life, a time when arcade-style racing was shifting into the home with simpler perspectives and a focus on immediate action over simulation.

You control a sports car from a high angle, weaving through dense traffic on multi-lane highways. The main goal is to outrun pursuing police cars or beat rivals in point-to-point races, all while managing a fragile nitrous boost. Signature mechanics include a punishing drift system that sends your car sliding wildly with a tap of the brake, and a damage model that quickly ends your run after a few hard collisions. The pacing is relentless; one mistake often snowballs into a wreck. It feels like trying to thread a needle at 150 miles per hour while the world shakes around you.
