Play Sega Sports 1 Online

Sega Sports 1 was a compilation released for the Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Drive in some regions, developed and published by Sega. It came out during a period when sports compilations were a straightforward way to offer variety without requiring multiple cartridges, fitting right in with the console's library of accessible, arcade-style experiences.

You control athletes across three distinct sports: racing, soccer, and tennis. The main objective changes with each game; you might be trying to win a Grand Prix, score goals against a computer opponent, or volley your way to match point. Signature mechanics include the tight, drifting turns in the racing segment, the slide tackles and passing in soccer, and the simple but timing-based shot selection in tennis. The pacing is generally quick, with matches and races designed to be over in a few minutes, though the racing can feel unforgiving with its narrow tracks. It feels like flipping through channels and landing on three different, slightly janky sports broadcasts from the early 90s.
