Nostalgia is a powerful drug that can occasionally be abused, often leading to disappointment and for the most part should probably left back in the past where it belongs. Micro Machines World Series marks the long overdue debut of Codemasters toy box racer on the current generation of consoles. Games such as Super Bomberman, Worms and the original Micro Machines ruled the roost, wormed their way into the nation's collective hearts and have continued to endure in some form or other in the years since. During this dark unconnected period, couch bound multiplayer reigned supreme and the man with the multi-tap adaptor (remember those?) was king. While this current level of connectivity is mostly taken for granted by the kids of today, digitally dominating gaming rivals during the pre-World Wide Web era was something that could only take place in very close proximity. However, this is an age when casual competition can be conjured up seemingly out of thin air without having to leave the house and, not only that, negate any need to be wearing trousers while doing so. Back in the good old pre-Internet days, the mere thought of playing a videogame competitively against a large number of opponents scattered across the globe sounded like the kind of far-fetched concept that would cost half a year's salary to partake in.
