Top Racer Collection Free Download (v1.0)

Kemco’s Top Gear series, known as Top Racer in Japan, is an absolute legend to anyone who’s grown up in Brazil. While I’m not exactly sure why it became such a big hit here and not nearly as much anywhere else is truly fascinating, and for a whole generation of players who had their fill of 16-bit goodness back in the day, there’s nothing quite like these games. They are so memorable that currency day devs are often inspired to develop their own nifty racers based on Top Gear; such is the case of Aquiris Game Studios’ excellent Horizon Chase and Slipstream, by Ansdor, to name a few. As a Super Nintendo kid myself, sadly I never owned any of the three Top Gear carts, but I vividly recall a vivid competitive scene at my local rental shop. Even though I was more of a Super Mario Kart guy, I never passed up a chance to have a friendly bout with friends every now and then. QByte Interactive has been showing off Top Racer Collection at a host of events for a couple of years, and now it’s finally out. Aiming to avoid any lawsuits from a certain TV show, they opted to stick to the original Japanese title, but everything else about it is exactly as you’ll remember, down to the first game’s catchy first stage music and the tinny sound effects from Top Racer 3000.

Each of the three games comes with a set of bonus materials in the form of manual, box and cart label scans, all from the original Japanese releases on Super Famicom, which is to say neat and a tad bit disappointing, as the North American box art for them is quite iconic. But their omission is understandable, given the need to edit out the name in order to avoid any litigation. The games themselves run as well as can be expected. They all make use of the same emulation engine, Bleem of all things! Even though I would’ve preferred to see less loading for just about every screen when navigating the collection’s menus, the ROMs are exactly as you remember them. On the other hand, there’s online multiplayer! Sadly, I was not able to find a match during the review period, but I’m sure that will change once Top Racer Collection is out in the wild. The idea of playing such nostalgic racers over the web would’ve been considered insanity back in the day, but it’s something that’s made possible now, and I’m sure those looking to relive their glory days with friends that might not be at their side for couch play will get a kick out of this.
