Although in full 3D, the game is played from the top down perspective to allow the player to view more of the track as well as showing how small the Micro Machines really are.
The game was later ported to the Nintendo 64.
Ths number of vehicles was reduced from 32 to 31 and the number of courses was reduced from 48 to 43.
However, a Turbo setting was added which let the player choose how fast the cars would go and although only four controllers are allowed on an N64, up to 8 people can play at any one time using what's called Pad Share (where one person uses one side of the controller, stearing with the Directional pad, while the other player uses the four C-buttons).
The N64 version also came with a vehicle inside the box.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Micro Machines V3 for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Micro Machines V3 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.
