About This Retro Game
Developed by Sega's AM3 team during the peak of arcade racing games, Overtop featured the Sega Model 2 hardware's signature 3D graphics with smooth 60fps gameplay and detailed vehicle models.
The game introduced a unique 'Attack Gauge' system that fills up during drifts and close racing, allowing players to unleash powerful turbo boosts or execute destructive ramming attacks against opponents.
Features multiple racing classes from compact cars to heavyweight battle vehicles, each with different handling characteristics and combat capabilities across various international circuits.
While not as commercially successful as Sega's other racing franchises, Overtop gained recognition for its innovative blend of racing and combat mechanics, becoming a cult favorite among arcade racing enthusiasts.
