R.C. Grand Prix is a racing game released by Sega for the Game Gear console in 1993. The game was developed by Sega's AM7 division and was one of the first titles released for the system. The player takes control of a remote-controlled car and competes against other cars in a variety of races. The game features five different tracks, each with its own unique terrain, hazards and obstacles, as well as power-ups that can be collected to aid the player's progress.

The objective of R.C. Grand Prix is to complete each track as fast as possible while avoiding obstacles and collecting power-ups along the way. At the start of each race, the player must select their car from a selection of four different models: Buggy, Monster Truck, 4WD and Rally Car. Each model has different characteristics such as speed, acceleration and handling which can affect how they perform on certain tracks or when taking tight corners at high speeds.

The game features five tracks based on real-world locations such as California, England, France and Japan; all featuring unique terrain such as sand dunes, mud pits and snow banks which can slow down or even stop players if they are not careful when driving over them. In addition to these tracks there is also a bonus track which consists of an obstacle course that needs to be completed within a time limit in order to unlock it for future use.

Power-ups are scattered throughout each track in various locations; they come in two types - offensive and defensive - with offensive power-ups allowing players to attack their opponents by firing missiles or laying mines while defensive power-ups provide protection from attacks or increase speed temporarily; these items can be used strategically during races for an advantage over other racers or simply to make progress easier when navigating tricky sections of track more quickly than normally possible without them.

Players can compete against up to three computer controlled opponents at once in either single race mode or championship mode where points are awarded for completing laps faster than opponents; depending on how many laps have been raced points will be distributed accordingly with higher point totals being awarded for longer races; achieving first place will award extra points which can help towards overall victory depending on how well placed racers finish throughout all races within a championship series..

In addition to single race mode there is also a split screen two player mode where two players can race against each other simultaneously using either link cables connected between two systems or by using only one copy of the game cartridge if both systems have access to it; this mode allows players to challenge friends locally or even compete against people around the world if they have access to the internet via dialup connection (before broadband was widely available).

Overall R.C Grand Prix offers an entertaining experience for those looking for some fast paced action with plenty of strategic elements thrown into the mix thanks to its wide range of power ups and varying terrain across its five tracks; it’s easy enough for newcomers yet still challenging enough for veterans who want something more from their racing games making it an ideal title both casual gamers and hardcore fans alike regardless of how much experience they may already have with racing games
