Classic Game Room - TOP GEAR for SNES review

[@fernando929305]

We from Brasil, love Top Gear.

[@koopaGG]

This game has some of the best music on the SNES

[@SNESdrunk]

Still a great game

[@stevengruner4885]

[@giovanifm1984]

This game is HUGE down here in Brazil! I don't know exactly why, but we love it! it was very, very popular in 16 bit era, and even today, it's in our top lists.

[@royalguard56]

Widely recognized as having some of the best music of the 16-bit era. It's funny how most people just remember it for the soundtrack, but it was actually a pretty sweet game in its' own right. Good show.

[@xenocore01]

That finish of the last race was ridiculous!!! I love it! Any time you can use the steel ball trick in a racing game = EPIC WIN!

[@oblivionFC]

Nice to see you reviewed this game. It's an absolute classic of my childhood. Up to this day I can remember the epic music. Really great game.

[@paczilla4213]

foi o primeiro jogo que eu joguei no meu snes, bons tempos.

[@JigglyPKMN]

I bought this solely because of the music and now think it is one of the best SNES games.

[@AndyVoong925]

Man this was the best game I played on the SNES. I remember I played this game a lot with my cousins. This game got me into the racing and driving games. Also I like the soundtracks, all of them were epic and made it more tense when playing. Top Gear was ahead of its time and I can still play this game 8 years later. Thanks Mark for uploading this review.

[@Edo1494]

Best racing game on snes

[@richardsavings6690]

Shame it's not on the snes mini.

My god, I remember this game, I played this with my brother NON STOP. We tried all the cars, what combination is the best, when to refuel, how to beat the other AI racers by bumper owning them. (Works with top gear 2000, though you lose your rear bumper). There were times when my bro had to push my car to the pitstop! Oh man, the music, the tire screeching, the nitro boost, the trashtalk when you pass other chars, it's giving me goose bumps! Thanks for reviewing this! :D p.s. HORIZONS

[@AndyVoong925]

I remember playing this game the most, when I visited my cousin's house. The game, was so fun and very nostalgic. At one point, my cousin and I was able to beat all the tracks from beginning to end on Professional in one sitting. The music for this game was amazing and so ahead of its time. This was also the game, that had gotten me into racing games. I personally, bought a SNES off Amazon just to play Top Gear again. Lastly, long live the white car :D.

[@SpetsnazFP]

i always loved this game for every bit of it. sound, gameplay, and how fast it played!

[@southpaw8123]

OMG!!! Thanks so much for this vid.. This game is one of my precious memories as a kid. Long live TOPGEAR!

[@evoGage]

I used to play this game non stop! brings back the memories!

[@notyoursavior78]

The music is still elite in this game. I love to play this game still even today. I sat down about a few weeks ago and just played for an hour or so. I used to be better at it, but I had a blast.

[@mechaluigi7]

Hey! I remember playing this! Some relatives of mine had this whenever we went to a family reunion at their place for the holidays. Yes, instead of catching up with my family members I don't see that much, I played Top Gear back in my childhood days. Good times! I wonder if they still have their SNES. LOL

[@Volviert]

My first racing game. This, Mario Kart and the second Gran Turismo are mind-blowing. 3 favorite games all time.

[@redbarrelbandit8429]

YOU SIR ARE AWESOME I LOVE THIS GAME AND YOU REVIEWING IT IS EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!

[@UNIT0918]

My gawd, the music was my favorite part of this game.

[@Trusteft]

Great review. This looks like a "clone" of the Lotus series of games for the Home Computers. Love the music.

[@falandodeaudivag20v89]

The best in brasil love game!!!

[@h20DDs]

At the beginning of the review, I thought it was two players but then he said "You play against the computer as your rival". Nice review and lol at getting 2nd place.

[@zeng58]

this game is my child hood game ^^

[@Denspion]

the music alone used to pump me up while playing this years ago.

[@DarkPitTheFallenAngel]

Do you use start for the pause? Or select for pause?

[@muhanc.a.9299]

Top Gear 2 was my first game, I love everything in that game, but when I knew about Top Gear 1 and downloaded it and played it a few years ago through emulation, Holy Shirt! the sense of speed in this game, well, you have to try it to know what I'm talking about. -My verdict- Great controls Sticky music Road hogs Graphics that stood the test of time And the blessing of Lord Karnage

[@TheMegamanVX]

The Red Car is just insane with it's Speed.

[@Iosipescu07]

The entire soundtrack for this game is amazing....mind you there are only 4 songs but still amazing none the less.

[@oigres33]

Top gear and CGR in the same video?? AWESOME

[@Kevinb1821]

This was an amazing game. The music was truly revolutionary when it came out.

[@Astrophysicist21]

Top Gear is one of my favorite games of all time. Mostly because it was my 1st video game that I got it with my 1st game counsel, the SNES, for Christmas as a kid. The sound track is still burned into my memory.

[@mchaosg]

One of my favorite racers, great SNES game... had a lot of fun with this game with my cousin.

[@quatreiquorizawa9885]

Me, my brother and my aunts loved this!

[@The90sGamingGuy]

You reviewed this game for the Genesis a while back. I played this game for the SNES back in the day. Bad ass racing game. Heck, its still fun to play today. If it were ever to show up on the Wii VC it should have online 2 player.The music in this game is very 80's.

[@TheBest0704]

I just bought a used Super Nintendo and this was the first game I bought, saw it for $3 at a store so I copped it. This game is the tits! It's so freakin addicting, I can play it for 8-10 hours straight, the only reason I stop is because my thumbs get numb. So glad I took the leap of faith and gave this game a shot

[@nightmathzombieethan]

One of my all time favorites...and kick ass music too!!!

[@cmrobbins88]

I can definitely say now and forever that Top Gear is in my TOP 5 favorite racing games. Right up there with F-Zero X, Mario Kart series (they're all the same to me in gameplay), Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, and I don't know what would be the fifth.

[@sdzero]

Top Gear. I have fond memories of this Blockbuster $0.49 Rental. I'll have to find a copy soon.

[@sejembalm]

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout! Even more preferred to their Imperial Stout. Pitch black and bitter, wonderful stuff!

[@WilliamMeyer]

That music of the opening :O... OMG OMG OMG i need to play this right now...

[@DoomBunnyKiller00]

That ending was awesome! You still won the race even though you ran outta gas XP I might have to pick this game up...

[@HayTatsuko]

one of the best arcade-style racing games... any system, any era

[@SakuraAvalon]

Woot~ Mark for teh win. >> Don't stop making these, I'm addicted to CGR.

[@Sujieun]

This was one of the best games ever made for SNES! And I still got my copy

[@morlandi5]

I love the soundtrack of this game, I played a lot when I was child, and I also remember the many times that I almost broke the cartridge because of frustation of loses so many times. Good times...

[@Zorn27]

omg I played this back in the day and forgot! THANK YOU CGR :D

[@sael1337]

holy crap the music in this game is fantastic! if i could DL the soundtrack from itunes i would have it going in a 24/7 re-play loop for the rest of my life!

[@Yamtendo]

Wow thats really intense. The speed reminds me of the F-Zero games. And the music reminds me of the older Final Fantasy games.

[@monoboi112]

I heard this game was very popular in brazil. I even saw a video games live video playing the music from this game

[@LinkHero25]

I loved this game as a kid. Fantastic music like a lot of other games on the SNES. : ) I could never beat this game though because it gets really hard near the end.

[@thingsiplay]

That finish - Like a boss.

[@madspunky]

Yes, interview Truxton on Top Gear!

[@kevin12567]

I love the main theme song to this game! And there is a video of this song recreated on Propellerhead Reason - I think I'm going to listen to it right now!

[@MISOFdsraceteam]

had this game when i was a kid and still have it now. i like the white car

[@AsukaVII]

Awsome blast from the past! everyone knows the white car lasts the longest before pitstops!

[@BlackLaval]

Awesome review. And yeah, Top Gear was an experience.

[@sufy1000]

The music in Top Gear is awesome!

[@ABlackFalcon]

Top Gear is an outstanding game, definitely one of my favorite 16-bit racing games (along with F-Zero and Outrun 2019). I have both of its sequels on the SNES, and they're great games too which add a lot of features, but somehow I still like the first game the best... it's the simplest and most straightforward, and that music is so great. Top Gear is fantastic. Still though, yes, anyone who liked the first one should also play the sequels. TG 3000 even has 4-player splitscreen!

[@sataiYT]

The music Bliss from MUSE is inspired in the Top Gear intro theme.

[@shadowkirby2007]

Awesome Game, Love this game, played it since my childhood days..Still do :D 5/5

[@TheSweetKnight]

Your an awesome Reviewer keep up the work. sounds like you have a voice for Radio. anyway, the music is awesome in this game :) Awesome Review!

[@mtganfilm]

A racing game on SNES without Mode 7!? This is madness!

[@BryanX64]

CGR is my pal when things get rough :)

[@Rhysonka]

I remember playing this game!!!! damn I was so young at that time

[@mic7reaper]

this game was my first racing game ever , the music in it will always be stuck in my head xD especially the 4 first level :D my fav was the level 3 lol wa wa wa wo wa

[@adandelgado4069]

this game has pure awesomeness written all over it

[@d1664256]

It's amazing that this was on the same system as the original F-Zero, which looks miles better.

[@leonrider313]

I spend hours at time when I was 5-6 years old playing this, Super Mario World and F-Zero on my SNES in the early 2000s... lost the game and system but I'll do anything to get it back... great memories though.

[@chadw4638]

are you my twin? edit, i still have the games and systems..... only sold one system... original nintendo

[@terranceyoung1994]

This was my first racing game on my SNES

[@AaronHendu]

This is the only game I could ever get my Dad to play too...rented this game and beat it into oblivion, trading turns coming in first and second on the two player mode. The music is bringing it all back lol

[@theph3n0m200]

OMG! haven't played this in ages and it brings back alot memories :D

[@seanryanmetalhead]

Great game! I used to have this on SNES! Man I'm getting old :\

[@1979lincolncoupe]

we had this game (still do) when I was little. honestly if it weren't for that, I would never have known about this game. but boy am I glad we did. Its so much fun and it has the best soundtrack of any racing game ever. the best part is its all original music. not just already made songs by LMFAO and 50 cent and all that crap. only thing is you find yourself rear ending cars and litterally coming to a complete stop a lot

[@giggshenrik]

I love the music in this game!

[@RSLMecha]

Its Nice To See Mark Likes Top Gear

[@skulljoint]

dude, that was awesomeness how you came in second

[@serr183]

Im hype theres actually a review for this game:)

[@JackolynSparrow]

Favourited this just because you mentioned BBC's Top Gear. =D

[@infringementMAN]

Confirmed: Mark watches Top Gear! You know they're making an American version of TG right? I think it airs next week on the History Channel.

[@UltimateDragonite]

I was hoping for a refence to the TV show, 1 second in and I was not disappointed :D

[@Ramjet164]

The music really is superb. I'd still buy this if it was a bad game purely for the music. The fact that it's a good game just sweetens the deal.

[@LargeRedRizla]

The Top Gear test track will be in GT5 (if it comes out!!) but an official Top Gear game with Clarkson, Hamster, Slow & Stiggy. Hell, that'd be awsome. Mixing racing across countries with blowing up caravans and setting off volcanos.....nice :)

[@5k4k1dhtp]

The music is fantastic!

[@javierortiz82]

I loved to do the double finish trick in this game to make sure of me winning the hole tournament xD.

[@brodi81]

I was in 6th grade when this game came out, I went to school talking about how the music was so rad and got made fun of talking about video game music by all the kids. I stand by my words to this day.

[@jupreindeer]

Excellent surprise ending.

[@heddythecrab]

Most epic second place win EVER!

[@charmbuster23]

This game is great. I never owned a SNES but my roomate had one and we played the hell out of this game.

[@guycalledfilip]

Rip CGR

[@Corsair807]

@Jicholson Yeah. We have a channel called "BBC America" that broadcasts things like Top Gear, Dr. Who, and other such BBC shows stateside, and it is the same Top Gear that the Brits have. Unfortunately, however, to compensate for things like commercials, there are portions of each episode that are cut out (mainly the News segments). There is supposed to be an American version coming out as well, but as you can imagine, most of us US Top Gear fans don't have high hopes for that malarkey.

[@Dragonfury3000]

Awesome review for an awesome game

[@p0rkt0thech0p]

This game defines my entire childhood.

[@Mizakit_Gaming]

this used to be one of my favorite games

[@moviemanstan]

i LOVED top gear as a child!!!!

[@e11aguru]

The music reminds me of the theme to the old Art Bell show "Dreamland".

[@Comicdud]

I like the music! :D

[@retrostansolo]

What a great game this was, this is gaming at its best!!

[@caccabonga]

i remember this game :D i miss it :P i played it every day before ;)

[@smokinbull123]

Still play this to this day!
