For this 50th episode of Beyond The Scanlines, I thought it'd be neat to do another video looking at some driving & racing games. This time, as a Mega Episode covering a large number of those released on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

Buckle up that racing harness, tighten up that helmet, and put the pedal to the metal with this collection of titles - between classics you're familiar with, ones which may have flown under the radar, along with interesting experiences which may or may not have succeeded.
