Favorite Classic Game: Micro Machines 2
Quote: “I’ve only recently come to this conclusion actually, having indulged in some retro gaming nights with friends. Micro Machines is one of those rare games which feels as fun today as it ever was – the simplicity of the concept and the top down visuals mean it really hasn’t aged in the way something like Goldeneye has, and it’s still an awesome party game”

I played a ton of Micro Machines on Amiga and SNES. They are great party games and remind me a lot of RC Pro-AM from NES and Rock N Roll Racing from SNES. These simple racing games are great because of their simple gameplay.
