Item Description

Top Gear splits the screen down the middle and hands you a ticket around the world. It was built from the start for side-by-side racing, two drivers sharing one television, which made it the go-to choice in a lot of early Super Nintendo households before kart racers took over the couch. Even played solo, its blend of raw speed and road-trip scenery gives every race a sense of momentum that few 16-bit racers matched.

The setup is pure arcade: choose one of four cars, each with its own balance of speed, handling and fuel economy, then work your way through races in eight countries. The twist is that Top Gear asks you to think a little while you drive. Fuel runs down over a race, so knowing when to dive into the pits can decide the result, and a small supply of nitro boosts per race tempts you to burn them early on a long straight or save them for a late charge. Debris and tight bends punish anyone who treats the throttle as an on-off switch.

The game came from Gremlin Graphics, the British studio behind the Lotus racing games on home computers, and was published by Kemco. That computer-racing DNA shows in the long, rolling roads and the focus on finishing position over flashy crashes. Then there is the music: Barry Leitch's soundtrack is the part people bring up first, a run of driving, synth-heavy tracks that sticks in the head for decades. Plenty of players can hum the opening race theme without remembering a single track layout.

Top Gear did well enough to kick off a Super Nintendo series, with Top Gear 2 and Top Gear 3000 following. The original is where that run started, and its two-player split screen and pit-stop strategy still make it a great racer to put on when a friend comes over and wants something with more grit than go-karts.
