This was game was the ultimate party fun. My personal favourite out of the Micro Machines series, Turbo tournament was a fun, exciting game that had some amazing tracks and great gameplay. The league system was an intense afternoon well spent after school; 4 leagues, 4 racers in a league, 4 races in a season, top got promoted with the bottom getting relegated. Such a bitch getting to league 2 and having a nightmare and getting relegated because you got knocked off the Toilet race with the speed demon dragsters.
The J-Cart was a great feature, ahead of the multi-tap era on PlayStation. It was seriously hammered with friends coming round laughing and trying to knock each other off or into the solid beans at the dinner table race. Had to be careful not to push the controllers too hard otherwise the game would freeze and you'd had to restart.
Spider was the main man, his cool shades and his neat GIF moves meant no-one came close to being chosen after him.
The boats were the hardest to drive for me; sliding round corners just wasn't possible and unless you slowed down it was into the barriers and wiped off the map early doors. Great social game, beautiful graphics and music around the menus. The only improvement I wished for was a save feature on the league format. It used to take me all day to get to League 1 and then having to turn off without giving it my all before bedtime was soul destroying.
