Our Expert Score

80/100

Over Top is a delightful blast from the past for Neo Geo fans. This isn't your standard racing game; it uses an isometric perspective that gives it a unique feel compared to the standard behind-the-car racers of its era. The variety of vehicles—from nimble cars to heavy-duty trucks—actually changes how you approach the different terrains like snow and dirt.

Hamster’s ACA series always delivers high-quality emulation, and this is no exception. You get modern conveniences like save states and online leaderboards, which make the brutal arcade difficulty much more manageable. While the races are short, the pursuit of the perfect line and finding every hidden shortcut makes it a great pick for speedrunners and retro enthusiasts alike.
