Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Wacky Races (unreleased)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Eden Entertainment Software
RELEASED:         1997
TYPE:             Racing (auto)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Dastardly and Muttley are set on winning (or sabotaging)
                  the annual Wacky Races.  A YACEG lap racer bearing a
                  strong resemblance to Apogee's Wacky Wheels with several
                  characters from various Hanna Barbara cartoons behind
                  the wheels of their respective cars.

IMPRESSIONS:      Might have made a pretty good competitor for Mario Kart
                  if the game had been completed.  The known beta is
                  playable and looks decent enough, but suffers from poor
                  sound.

It's pretty well finished, just a couple of known bugs (but I can't remember what they are, unfortunately :-). The gameplay is just about right, as far as I am concerned.
The sound is fine on a real Genesis, but the current emulators don't handle it very well, because we were doing some pretty advanced stuff with the Z80 to mix samples.

This is a good game - I would love to have seen it in cart form - yet it was not to be.
