Top Racer Collection is a premium racing video game from QUByte Interactive that contains all three games of the Top Racer franchise. This retro gaming trilogy will bring you back to the early years of the subgenre. You get to enjoy these games, each featuring their original content plus all-new features to get both new and returning players hooked.

Featuring the original 16-bit graphics and chiptune music, Top Racer Collection is a perfect addition to any game library. Even the system requirements are very light, making it accessible for entry-level systems. Other nostalgic games include Retro Revengers and Retro City Rampage.

Challenge yourself with retro racing titles

The Top Racer franchise is also known as Top Gear in other countries. As mentioned, Top Racer Collection contains the three main games in the series. You have the 1992 Top Gear, Top Gear 2 released the following year, and Top Gear 3000 released in 1995. All three games feature 16-bit graphics and chiptune tracks, and were all originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

Aside from the original retro content of all games in this package, there are also new features for players to enjoy. Filters make navigation easier. More importantly, an online mode lets you challenge friends and other players all around the world. While the original games strictly pitted you in races against computer-controlled enemies, this version gives you the option to choose from Time Attack, Campaign, or Custom Cup modes.

It goes without saying that the game’s visuals and soundtrack are severely outdated. Additionally, it doesn’t offer as much content as modern racing games such as those from the Need for Speed series. Once your expectations are aligned and you’re after some authentic retro game experiences, with minor quality-of-life tweaks for better navigation and extra content, this works exceedingly well.

A must-have for retro gamers

For players who have enjoyed the original games or those simply looking for some old-school racing experience, the Top Racer Collection is a definite must-have. It contains three games from the early 90s in all its pixelated glory. More importantly, the devs have added features that make the game more accessible without altering the games themselves. Play online with other people or check out the new game modes. Recommended.
