The reborn Micro Machines game is just not the same

Things were different when we were small. Instead of staring at a tiny screen all day, we got together and stared at a slightly larger one. Sometimes, we sat there for hours and hours.

Being small has its benefits. You see the world in a different light, with a sense of scale and wonder that’s hard to replicate when you’ve grown up. Things that wouldn’t entertain you now gave you endless pleasure as a child.

So it is with mixed feelings that we greet the rebirth of Micro Machines, one of the greatest multiplayer games of the Mega Drive era and a game that many Irish children spent countless hours playing in the 90s.
