This is VERY impressive! Look at that Mega Drive go! #SegaGenesis #SegaMegaDrive
I reworked the camera, improved clipping and rewrote the physics with acceleration and drift, the feel is better now

I'm trying to get a RAD2X for my mega drive but they seem to be out of stock in the UK. Does anyone have any advice?
