Top Gear Track 1

Top Gear (Top Racer in Japan), is a 1992 racing video game for the Super NES, published by Kemco and developed by Gremlin Graphics. Not only does it mark first game in the Top Gear racing game franchise, but it is also one of the first racing games to be released on the Super NES. The objective of the game is to become the fastest driver in the world by racing other drivers across several nations. The franchise is unrelated to the TV programme of the same name.
The music in Top Gear mostly consists of remixed tracks from the Lotus series of racing games on the Amiga produced by Barry Leitch. For example, the title music of Top Gear is taken from the ending of Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, and the third race of each country uses a remixed version of the Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge title theme.

Curiosidade: Barry Leitch,o compositor de Top Gear (e anos depois de Top Gear Rally,pra N64) fez a soundtrack do jogo em apenas cinco dias. E esse foi seu primeiro trabalho no sistema de 16-bits da Nintendo. Ele tinha trocado de cidade pra trabalhar com a Gremlin Graphics no jogo,e na hora de pedir alguns samples de Amiga (um sistema com chip de som similar e que Leitch já tinha experiência),ele só recebeu um disquete com sons genéricos e um manual de como usar o SPC700,mas infelizmente apenas em japonês. Depois de muito trabalho,ele decidiu usar algumas músicas da série Lotus Turbo Challenge (2 clássicos jogos de corrida pro Amiga,e Barry trabalhou na sequência). Se você ver no osciloscópio,vai ver que apenas a música da tela de título e de encerramento usam 10 canais de áudio. O resto usa apenas 4. Na época era só um projeto pra ganhar uns trocados... ... até que,em meados dos anos 2000,ele recebeu e-mails de fãs sobre seu trabalho no jogo. Aí ele descobriu o impacto de Top Gear no Brasil. Depois ele trabalharia em Horizon Chase,que é um continuamento espiritual de Top Gear, série que desde a era PS2 não vê um jogo novo.
