    Curious what everyone thinks the toughest race is in the first Top Gear game? I have the most trouble with Rio (Brazil) and London (UK)

      Well, for me and my friends the white car was the best because was the one which we could finish Rio w/o pit stop. If a remember correctly, your fuel ran off right next the finish line, so you just had to align the car to be hit in the back and voilá 1st place w/o gas.

    I wrote it in another video, but I will say it here to : some Brazilians made a spiritual successor called Horizon Chase TURBO, and the soundtrack is from the same composer and even contains all tracks from top gear, and is on every major platform. Try it out!

      In 2015 Aquiris Studio launch Horizon Chase: World Tour for Android and iOS an later 2018 I think, they release Horizon Chase Turbo for major consoles and PC.
      It's an amazing game with references to Initial D, Herby the Beetle, Outrun, Transformers, The Fast and The Furious and a lot more!
      In addition, it has a DLC called Senna Forever, which puts the player on formula 1 tracks, much like the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive's Super Monaco GP.

      They are actually coming out with a collection of all three of the SNES Top Gear games PLUS Top Gear 1 combined with the aformentioned Horizon Chase, however its called the Top Racer Collection for what I believe is copyright reasons since the Top Gear trademark is owned by the BBC.

    Top Gear 2 will always be my favourite. Played a ton of splitscreen with a friend. That soundtrack is amazing. Still find myself humming Ayer's Rock every now and then.

    I'm from Brazil and that's true, Top Gear was a very strong franchise here, specially the first one. Top Gear 3000 was so damn hard to rent, your only chance was being luck to find it wednesday and keep it through the weekend. Also was very hard to find a perfectly working copy, they had a tendency to not work at first try.

    • @Ghalion666
      @Ghalion666 4 роки тому +5

      Omg really? Same story here in Canada. Every time I saw a store that let me rent Top Gear 3000, as soon as I returned it, someone would declare it 'lost' next week.
      I ended up buying the darn game like 8 years later off ebay. The guy shipped it and gave me a tracking number, but UPS took 2 years to deliver it. And when they finally did they charged me $50 duty. wtf.
      Anyway I like tg3000 more just cuz the upgrade system. It is so rewarding on hard IMO. I like the refueling more too.
      One thing I dont get though. If the series is still popular, why arent there any indie games made like them?

Top gear had tracks that had turns sharp enough that you had to ease on the gas to "make" them, maybe even brake if you were behind on tire upgrades. All of horizon's challenge was purely in dodging the AI cars that proves no challenge whatsoever as racers but rather bumpercars.

    2:53 Yep, I'm from Brazil and we loved the Top Gear games, specially the first one. I think, for the time, there wasn't too many options for a fast pacing 2 players racing game. Out Run was fun, but single player only. Also, the vibe was very different from Super Mario Kart.
    And the soundtrack, oh man, the soundtrack. There was an online radio in my time in college back in 2004 and sometimes they played some game soundtracks. When Top Gear first track music played, everybody was like "damn, Top Gear rocks!".
    edit: I had the Top Gear 3000. Would you believe there is a black hole at the end of the game?

  • @LaVeyCharkusVeros

    The Top Gear 1 cartridge was only 4 Mb, which was somewhat of a rarity as most SNES games were 8 Mb (I believe the first 16 Mb game was Street Fighter II); perhaps that explains the decision to use split screen in order to save some memory. The music was fantastic, though.
    I longed for the moment the video would say that if you ran out of fuel, you could still have a chance of reaching the goal in 1st place if another car crashed with you from behind (oh, how many races were won that way! ^_^).

    I loved top gear 2, mostly because I played it with a friend, I can't really be sure but if one of us was on first place the AI of the other cars became harder to try to catch up with that player, so the other player really had to run quite well to advance. Two player mode also made nitro system quite important since it was the edge over your rival and one mistake could cost you the race. It was an amazing game I will always remember

    TG2 for me (one of 21 titles I hack added to my mini). While TG1 does arguably a stronger core game experience (speed, music, fuel), I simply played it into the ground as a kid renting it with friends.
    TG1's split screen simply ages it out for me. TG2's course variety + nice weather effects in full screen make it the keeper for me.
    Then again, my fav of this genre is probably still the first Rad Racer... no racing game makes missing a checkpoint by virtually a hair more addicting to conquer.

    Hack from the first Top Gear game. On the final lap when you're about to cross the finish line, try driving really close from side poles (with me it works better on the left), as you're close enough, steer the car to hit the pole a bit on an angle. if you succeed the car will bounce backwards then drive forwards again, which will grant you the points for whatever position you're on, and the next one combined.

    Check out Chase HQ II on Genesis. It reminded me of this, except instead of racing your goal is to chase/find and destroy (by bashing with your car) the car of a fugitive. It's a little too short and probably not as polished a driving game as this, but I got it over the summer and had a ton of fun with it. While short, it is fun and it makes it an easy pick up, play and complete in 30min or so which is nice for just a quick retro gaming fix.

    Sure, the OST and strategy is great in Top Gear 1, but the tracks are kinda boring/short, it's also a very easy game enev in the hardest difficulty, the split screen is reeeeeally annoying, and because of it, the fps suffer, it runs much choppier than 2 and 3.
    Top Gear 2 might not have every single bgm as good as the first ( Ayer's Rock is a master piece though! heheh), but it fixes a lot of stuff, the split screen is gone and the fps are much higher, it just runs smother, the resolution seems higher too, also, there are crash animations that varies with the strength of the impact. The climate change is also really good, the game shows you a description of the next track before letting you upgrade your car, so if the weater is rainy, you might want to upgrade your tires, and so on. Sure, you have 6 nitros, but in the beggining, even if you use all 6 at once, the cpu sometimes goes crazy on you, specially on the first race, and the first place is impossible to get, only when you start upgrading your car is that the game get's easier. Don't use all 6 nitros at once, and you got yourself with a pretty balanced game in terms of difficulty.
    Top Gear 3000 is cool, but it lacks the OST epicness of the other two. The graphics are a little better, and it runs even smoother that 2, you have a LOT more of upgrade options for you car, some of wich are basically cheat devices and weapons. That makes it sillier in my opinion. It's the hardest of the three in terms of difficulty as you gotta manage fuel, damage AND plan your car upgrades carefully. I can't enjoy it as much as the other two though, it doesn't feel (and sound) as "race-y" as the other two.

    One of the coolest moments of my indie video game career, I reviewed this and remarked how much the intro sounded like Bliss from MUSE and how the music in general was amazing as it’s the tracks from an AMIGA favourite Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge. The kid of the guy who did the sound saw my review and informed me it sounds like Bliss as MUSE contacted his father to ask if they could use his music to develop a track around it. Less cool was I then used Bliss as an outro to my reviews and on Christmas Eve Warner Music pulled down every single one of my videos.

    I thought the reason there was 2 videos playing was cause one was the original video vs the new video... I had no idea top gear just had 2 screens like that.

    Me and a friend played Top Gear 3000 listening to an old disco tape. Good memories. Every time the band Tower of Power came on singing "You should be having fun" my friend would start wrecking, and cursing. One of the cool things about Top Gear 3000 that SNES Drunk didn't mention was it has a hidden bonuses. It was so cool blowing your friend away and then a whole bunch of secret bonuses popping up at the end of the match. I loved the ambient space age music kinda reminded me of F-Zero and Utopia both games I also really liked. It was so cool upgrading your vehicle. The only thing that sucked was when your car broke down you'd be stuck driving like 50 mph until you found a repair zone. Not fun! Overall though its an excellent game to play with a friend even being as old as it is.

    You rock! I remember when Video Games Live went to South America and they had to include one song from the first Top Gear, they said that the song is only played in South America because nobody cares about TG in North America.

    Great review...Top Gear is one of my all-time favorite games, and I've had so many good memories staying up late with a friend or my brother and just marathoning this game. The soundtrack is one of my favorites, if not it's my favorite. In Top Gear 2, I remember being lazy as a kid and messing around in the menus and getting the game to skip me to the end of the game by just giving me the password. Not sure if it was a glitch/exploit in the menus or intentional.

    I'm Argentine myself, I dunno how you knew the South America fun fact, but yeah, the 8 bit and 16 bit consoles had a very long life span here, and still a lot of people enjoy them a lot. Brazil still manufactures a lot of stuff from that time.

    I borrowed the original “Top Gear” from a friend and loved it! I ended up getting “Top Gear 2” for my birthday that year and played the heck out of it! I loved the two-player races and trying to get more money than your opponent! However, I later got “Top Gear Rally” for N64 because I had loved the other two games. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as the two on SNES. And it only had like 4-6 tracks. And I think some of those were the same ones in reverse. I never played “Top Gear 3000” but will have to check it out.

    Top Gear 3000 is still one of my favorite SNES games. Top Gear 3000, Aladdin, Bubsy 1, Mario World, Congo's Caper. Some of my favs.
    Also, neat. I didn't realize Top Gear was based on Lotus. Explains why the Genesis Lotus games seem so similar.
