The Top Racer series, known as Top Gear in North America, has earned its place in gaming lore with its arcade-inspired racing action and precise controls. Aquirus’ Horizon Chase series, built upon the foundation laid by Top Racer, has kept the spirit alive, prompting enthusiasts to wonder about a modernized rendition of the classic series. Finally, with the Top Racer Collection, this legendary franchise finds its way onto Xbox, marking its return outside of Evercade cartridges since its original 16-bit releases. Surprisingly overlooked for re-releases over the years, the series’ distinctively vibrant cover art still manages to captivate, standing out even among today’s gaming landscape.
