Rev Up the Classics
Top Racer Collection includes the original Top Racer game, originally released on the SNES in 1992. Here you’ll be able to choose from 4 different cars inspired by real sports cars and race on 32 tracks with options for manual or automatic gear changes and strategic nitro boosts.
You’ll also be able to drive like it’s 1993 with Top Racer 2, which comes with a more realistic feel, and manage damage, collect resources, and make upgrades for optimal performance across 64 tracks.
Fast forward to 1995, and Top Gear 3000 delivers a racing experience set a thousand years in the future. Race on 47 tracks on different planets in an interplanetary competition, featuring hyper-technological upgrades and strategic weapons.
Plus, a brand new game, Top Racer Crossroads, has been included with four new cars and exclusive content tailored exclusively for Top Racer Collection.
