Collector interest

PAL Rev 1 of Micro Machines is the corrected version of Codemasters's game with the specificity of Codemasters's unofficial Megadrive cartridge format (without Sega licensing).

Is Micro Machines still worth playing in 2026?

A miniature racer by Codemasters, Micro Machines offers top down arcade races with small vehicles in everyday object settings like tables or desks. The adorable art direction, versus mode for up to eight players with pad sharing and immediate handling make this title an absolute party racing reference on Mega Drive. For anyone fond of local multiplayer games or original arcade races, a warm recommendation still valid today without any hesitation truly indeed here for any newcomer.
