Micro Machines turns ordinary household environments into enormous racing circuits where tiny cars roar across tables, kitchen counters, and other places that definitely were not designed for motorsport. The compact vehicles are quick, slippery, and wonderfully unpredictable, making every race a frantic battle for position. Shortcuts and hazards add plenty of excitement, while the simple controls make the game immediately accessible. Its greatest strength is the sense of scale: a pencil becomes an obstacle, a table edge becomes a cliff, and losing to a tiny toy car becomes surprisingly embarrassing.
Computer and Video Games (1994): "I loved Micro Machines on Amiga and well, it's a shame the PC version can't match it. I've been looking forward to this for some time but the scrolling is jerky, the sound is sub-standard and the whole shebang is so slow it's like the cars are driving through treacle - which would be excusable on the Kitchen table track, but this is the case throughout. If you're a Micro Machines fan you're going to be disappointed. Another bugbear is that the PC isn't a good two-player machine. Get a joystick splitter cable and it improves, but not by much."
