Campaign to Resurrect Micro Machines for 2011

20 years ago Codemasters created a game; a game so brilliant that it captured the hearts of gamers the world over and versions appeared on pretty much every console from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the PlayStation 2.  That game was Micro Machines.  Sadly, the miniscule vehicles started to lose their way and haven’t been seen since 2006.

To celebrate Micro Machines’ 20th anniversary, we here at GamingLives.com and our friends from various other gaming sites want to see a return to the glory days. We want once again to race a dragster around a toilet lid, we want to drive an F1 car off a pool table and we want the awesome guys and girls at Codemasters to bring Micro Machines to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.

This is where we need you guys though, we want you to tweet and Facebook a link to this page to tell your friends to get over here and make themselves known in the comments at the bottom so that we can show Codemasters just how many of us want to see Micro Machines return for its 20th Anniversary.

How Can We Help?
Several things you can do really… the first is obviously to get as many people as possible to comment on this page using this link: http://gliv.es/mmhd2011 and if you want to promote it yourself, you can download a full size logo in PNG format and resize to suit your own site (right click here and select to Save Link/Target).  If you’re spreading the word on Twitter, please also tag your updates with #micromachines2011 so we can keep track.

Codemasters, we the undersigned would like to see a remake of Micro Machines, featuring all the best bits of your legendary game, for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Make it so!

  10. Charles D says:

    If you do this Codemasters, you will be elevated to Gods of XBLA and millions will flock to worship at your feet……. Well I will at least.

    Please please do it…

    Micro Machines for XBLA & PSN!!

    I haven’t played this game in years, but it has so many amazing childhood memories for me that it NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW.
    With local and live play. Please.

    I loved Micro Machines and would definately buy it on PSN. Love playing old games on it anyway but dont like them being blown up to fit the hd screen as they loose quality too much

    No other driving game has been as awesome. BRING BACK MICRO MACHINES!!!

  18. Leon says:

    I always loved these games – the snooker table was always my favourite.

    Would be awesome for an XBLA title.

  19. Smuggsy says:

    Hell yes, this is a must! Oh, and smash TV too! I’ll donate a kidney to the cause, if I have to… :)

  20. Samuel Samuel says:

    The original Micro Machines was one of my favourite games on the Megadrive. If they could just port that with HD graphics and an option to play the splitscreen modes online, I would definitely buy that.

  21. Would love Micro Machines on XBLA. Loved the game as a kid, one of my favourites!

  22. Ste says:

    I approve of this campaign! Code Masters, do the right thing and make this happen!

    Go team! This has got to be done :D

  25. GrayW says:

  26. Kat says:

    Used to get my arse kicked at this. It should be done so I can relive the harrowing memories.

  27. Andy Parkes says:

    Yes! More Micro Machines please!

  28. DarrenIndeed says:

  31. LVL54Spacemonkey says:

    Gimmie a HD version of Micro machines 96 on XBLA and I’ll be a happy bunny.

  32. Ken Barnes says:

    Signing in. I used to LOVE Turbo Tournament! :)

  33. bobberella says:

    Bring it back!!!!!

  34. Jamie Anderson says:

    YES. still play with friends today (Turbo Tournament 1996 edition)
    if the fun of turbo turns can be remastered and with some new features added in for good measure
    this would be an amazing return for this series :)

  35. Dominik says:

    the old genesis micro machines was probably my favorite game of all time, that or FF7. god i miss it, the ps2 remakes and license-less versions thereafter never really had the charm of v3 and earlier. i would be all for a remake… but 35 comments? do more petitioning!

  36. kim lawson says:

    Great game you make it we buy it you make lots of money we have lots of fun. It’s a win win

  37. Drew says:

    This is a great idea. I’m certain it could be done. Has there been any official response to the petition?

  38. Ben says:

    I’d settle for a ps3 port of micro machines V3 on the PS Store!!
    GIEF PLIX !!

  39. Jack says:

    This would be brilliant to see. There’s no reason why it should be left behind in the 90s – the concept is still very good. Let’s do it!

  40. Mao loss says:
