The Pod is a BMW Isetta. The car is a bubble car and probably would have completely destroyed your legs after the first crash. The Geeze is a Fiat 500 and the Froggy (Kam's car) is a Citroen 2CV - strange they were allowed to use the look of these cars without licences. There's a New Beetle in the FMV too.

Top Gear Rally for the N64 was great. You could use the barriers to go around corners without losing speed, or even needing to turn. Brilliant.

[@orderandkhos6269]

Oh wow I never could remember what this game was. It holds the distinction for being the first game I ever rage quit. My dad and I were playing a game mode where the person who’s it has a bomb and you have to try to get it on the other driver before it blows. Couldn’t keep up with dads sweet skills so I slapped the power button 1 second before the bomb went off

[@Relyx]

Top Gear 1 and 2 were legit good games on the old SNES. The theme tunes too! You might be missing some of the benefits that stereo can provide!

I missed this one when it was brand new. On the plus side, my wait for the next episode is cut in half :)

[@dreamermoon6084]

The game does not have a good reputation, but at least this is one of the games I was passionate about as a kid with my friends. I wish the map was a bit larger and I could race alone.

[@LanHikariDS]

Gremlin didn't just work on the first game, they also developed Top Gear 2 and Top Gear 3000. Top Gear 2 is pretty good, actually. I've never played 3000, but I've heard lots of good things about it. Would be fun to see them play those after having done this one.

[@andrealves3104]

They did not, but they shared some devs with Kemco, which explains why the OG Top Gear for the Snes was very much alike and inspired from the 'Lotus Turbo Challenge' series, originally for the Amiga PC. Some of top gear assets, like sfx and tracks are even the same ones from the Lotus series. Top Gear 3000 is the best one on the SNES imo, even if people have more nostalgia towards the first game.

[@MateusAuri]

Fun fact: Top Gear is a really popular fan favorite among Brazilian SNES owners. It is even more famous than Gremlin's then-better known Lotus games, or whatever other super-scaler racing games you may have on the top of your mind such as Outrun and whatnot. I don't think anything past the three SNES games is as well known, let alone as well regarded by anyone. In my opinion, the series took a drastic turn on focus and quality since it changed devs for the N64 era.

"If this game was a game, it would be, a game. And now it's time to pass this game on to our tamed game tester.

The original Gremlin games on the SNES were pretty good actually. Top Gear Rally on the N64 wasn't great, but still had some cool features, like being able to hand-paint your car

[@Robocopnik]

oh my god

[@Relyx]

the original 2 SNES games were like some of the best racing games at the time, and had absolutely fantastic soundtracks.

[@BrightonEarly]

Midnight Outlaw: 6 Hours to Sunup is absolute gutter and would love to see it on this series

[@gabriels.carvalho4852]

The Top Gear series was a HUGE success here in Brazil. To the point that the soundtrack from the original game became something kinda synonymous with videogames here, like an anthem our minds would automatically turn to whenever someone mentioned playing games. Everyone here who's got some interest in games (albeit, retro games) knows and, at least, respects the franchise.

[@nameless5413]

dunno who cam (tho i heard hes related to shaft XD) is but thats clearly the nunn's car (the rallying numm from de Funnes staring "st. Tropez" series)

[@ViniVHSoares1993]

"Someone watching this probably grew up playing them, and it's their favorite" Funny that you mention this because the Top Gear SNES trilogy, specially the first game, are insanely popular here in Brazil, in fact Horizon Chase Turbo was made in Brazil, and the first TG was a huge influence on it, they even share the same composer. While TG Daredevil is utter shit, the SNES games are some of the best 16 bit racers, and there were a lot of games in the series that were quite technically impressive like Top Gear Rally on GBA. Oh, and Top Gear 3000 also happens to be my favorite game so yeah...

[@CrocvsGator]

The pod is based on a Bmw isetta. I say based not because it handles or has the same top speed as it but because it's clearly meant to look like one.

[@andrealves3104]

TJ boys (and girls!) might be interested on getting to know a parallel reality, so I'll write down some stuff about the Top Gear franchise: - It was extremely succesfull in South America during the 16bit era, especially the OG Top Gear for the SNES. It was basically a clone from the 'Lotus Turbo Challenge' series developed by Gremlim soft. originally for the AMIGA computers, even going as far to share some assets from that game such as sfx and some of the music tracks. - As far as I know, the Top Gear series became much more popular in south america than on the rest of the world : The home computer market had not caught up around these parts in the late 80s and early 90s, so even if a game like Top Gear is a complete copy from the likes of lotus/jaguar series for 16bit euro home computers, it was still somehow a new thing on home consoles, hence why it conquered the market here and have not had any kind of this novelty elsewhere in the world. - Sure, there was the OutRun port on the Sega Mega Drive. However, that version have had mixed receptions, even tho its a great game on its own. -Its success was sufficient for the franchise to spawn a lot of other iterations ranging from the SNES up until the actual last gen of consoles: TG2 and Top gear 3000 (SNES), Top Gear Rally/Overdrive/Rally 2 (N64), TG: Dare Devil (PS2) and at last, Horizon Chase (Switch/PS4) which is somehow of a spiritual sucessor/remake homage to the OG SNES Top Gear. -My personal take on the PS2 iteration, covered in this video: Seems like they tried to surf the hype from 'Driver', pre dating the use of open world as we better known today stapled by GTA III. It was a very popular trend during 99'~00', and the game actually looks better than some of its competitors at the time, as the 'Midtown Madness' series and its clones, even tho the cited 'Crazy Taxi' is the game that perfected the 'arcade free roam' formula imo. Dont Know how the gameplay feels tho, since I myself never played the game, altough that would be the sort of stuff I'd buy in 2000. 🤣 Alas, Thanks for another great video, guys!
