G-Zero Sega Genesis Tech Demo Updated

https://retrorgb.com/g-zero-sega-genesis-tech-demo-updated.html

If you’ve ever wished the Sega Genesis had a racing game that felt like it was ripped from a 1995 sci-fi arcade, your wish just got granted.

Enter G-Zero—a dazzling tech demo from developer gasega68k that’s now actually playable to completion. No longer just a flashy prototype, this update adds lap counters, real-time rankings, turbo boosts (with a cool energy bar!), and cars that don’t just look like blobs—they have shadows. Yes, shadows. On a 16-bit console. Mind blown? We’re not surprised.

You can race up to five AI opponents, watch your position glow on the map, and—most importantly—cross the finish line without the game glitching out like a VHS tape in a hurricane. The collision physics? Less “I got hit by a ghost car” and more “oh, I guess I just won.” And yes, turbo only unlocks after your first lap. No cheat codes. Just pure, gritty, pixelated determination.

Grab it free on Itch.io—whether you’ve got a real Genesis cart, MiSTer FPGA, or just an emulator. It’s not a full game… but it’s the most fun 10-minute experience you’ll have on a console that’s older than your lunchbox.

P.S. If you like it, toss Bob a Patreon coin. He’s basically building the racing game we all wished Sega had made.
