Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 9: Piko Interactive Collection 1
Colour me surprised again, i've found a retro racing game that I actually quite enjoyed playing. Top Gear (or as its known in this collection, Top Racer) is a rather fun and frantic little racing title thats well worth playing.
On the plus side is the game's real sense of speed as you fly round turns, over bumps and around other cars and obstacles. Its a rather exhilarating little thrillride all backed up by the game providing plenty of clutch moments that'll have you really pressed at times thanks to a mix of agressive but fair AI players and some nifty fuel/nitro management as you tackle the longer races.
On the downside, oh boy some of those later races are really long and tough and it can sometimes feel like you're battling for much longer than necessary. In addition I also have to call out the weird decision to always have split-screen going on in every game mode, something that actually harms this version even moreso than usual thanks to the Evercade EXP's handheld small screen.
Still, I had a rather fun time with this one and its actually now making me look forward to playing with the sequel when I tackle the Piko 2 pack later.
