Top Gear (Video Game)

Top Gear, or Top Racer in Japan, is a 1992 video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is of the genre racing, and is one of the first such games to be released on the SNES. The purpose of the game is for the player to become the fastest driver in the world, by racing competitors across several countries.

Gameplay

The player is first given the option to customize their game, including the entering of a name, choice of control system, mode of gear shift, and choice of car. Within the race, in addition to stearing and gear shift, the player is given control over three "nitros", which allow him to increase his speed for a short time. The game features a system of password save, with the passwords featuring automotive terms such as "gear box" and "oilcloth". Each password grants access to another country to race in.

Cars

Cannibal (red) - The Cannibal is the fastest vehicle available, however, it has the slowest acceleration of the four cars, and is the least economic. Sidewinder (white) - The Sidewinder is the most economic vehicle available, and also has the fastest acceleration. Razor (purple) - The Razor is equally middle-range in terms of top speed, but has slower acceleration, less tire grip, and a higher fuel consumption than the Weasel. Weasel (blue) - The Weasel is equally middle-range in terms of top speed, but has faster acceleration, more tire grip, and a lower fuel consumption than the Razor.

Countries

USA - Tracks typically feature smooth corners and long straights. South America - Tracks typically feature tight and frequent corners. Japan - Tracks are typically longer than in other countries, allowing both for more straights and more corners. Germany - Tracks are typically long enough to require the player to return to the pits. Scandinavia - Tracks are typically short, with smooth corners, but also short straights. France - Tracks are typically long, with frequent, sharp turns. Usually long enough to require visiting the pits. Italy - Tracks are typically long, with smooth corners and long straights, useful for gaining speed with nitros.
