The gaming 'Sega' continues.

So in early 1993. I purchased a £149 'Sega Megadrive', with the games 'Sonic the Hedgehog' and a 3 game cartridge containing 'Road Rash,Columns, and World Cup Italia 90'. What a leap from the 'ZX Spectrum', both graphically and of course loading time. The games were very expensive, so I did'nt buy any more that year. I did borrow 'European Club Soccer', which was a much better football game than 'WCI90', and 'Revenge of Shinobi'. The following year. I obtained 'PGA Tour Golf', and 'Kick Off', a pretty dire football game. Just around the corner however, I was unknowingly going to purchase the greatest game ever to grace the 'Megadrive' format. I payed about £35 for it, but Pound for Pound it turned out to be excellent value for money. The game in question was 'Micro Machines Turbo Tournament', which still ranks as One of the greatest racing games of all time. I got the sequel 'Turbo Tournament 96' the following year, but it did'nt have the same impact as the original as it was almost much of the same.
