Street Racer

Not worth it. DOS version is the same as the ps1 version but significantly slower (super laggy) on resolutions higher than 320x240. Controls don't work on the dos version, not without considerable workarounds. The 16-bit version is limited to low resolution (lower than 640x480) 4:3 ratio and borders Was expecting a better port but its a straight across port. Play on SNES or PS1 with Duckstation for a more definitive experience.

The Dos and 16-bit version sucks big time! Why? Because of the lack of controls and very slow steering. Yes we wanna have retro racers but this title is not done right !

[h1] It's fast, it's frantic, it's furious, it's the first racing and fighting game for four players... It's STREET RACER! Race and fight with 24 different tracks, 5 game modes with tons of options, and 8 street racers to choose from! [/h1] I saw the two Reviews for this Game and they were all negative and was really hesitant to buy this. Yes the Resolution Option is nonexistent (Window 1x (Small) - Window 2x (Medium) - Window 3x (Big) and Fullscreen but you can't change any resolution. Fullscreen is absolutely cool even though its just windowed with a "BlackBar" Left and right filled with the Game image. It looks like this (Bronze Cup finished): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2743504715 There is no input delay, Controller (PS4 Dualshock) worked fine (No Input buttons mentioned but if you go with "Practice Race" you can check out every button and will see what does what), No slow steering whatsoever - it worked perfectly fine for me. Its locked @60fps and I'm playing on a 144hz Monitor @2k Resolution (1440p). You can't go wrong with this for 2€ (The price I bought it for on Lunar Sale 2022). It's a cross between Super Mario Kart and a Fighting Game. Street Racer takes place in a kooky cartoon world with 3-D environments ranging from Mount Rushmore to Transylvania and they all look gorgeous. I started this game with the expecation of troubleshooting for an hour or so - but no... not at all - just the controls and resolution options suck big time (Played 16-bit version btw). *Recommended for a discounted price!*

this maybe a good game but without controller support i'll never know!

Street Racer is an ancient SNES game from 1994. It's a whopping 30 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. Street Racer is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Mario Kart (Copyright Nintendo, 1992). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Nintendo against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown. They might get a pass here, because this was permitted on the SNES, so Nintendo knew their copyright was being breached... regardless, just because the case hasn't been tried in court doesn't mean it won't be. Always be careful when buying dubious ripoffs. You may be wondering why a crap rejected 1990's SNES game belongs on Steam and the answer is, you're right, it doesn't. This is another abandonware cash grab by Piko Interactive, who swindle their hands onto old abandoned/broken/dead games then try to swindle Steam gamers into paying them for someone else's old abandoned game. Ethical? Nope. Gameplay is mediocre in this Mario Kart ripoff, lacking many of the features that made games like Mario Kart popular. There's 3D graphics with Wolfenstein 3D style pixel sprites slapped on top to give the impression of a fully 3D game... but that's a problem too because the optimisation is terrible. I suppose the best way to try explain just how terrible this game is can be found with a simple example that sums the whole thing up... the default control for turning left is CAPSLOCK, and right is "A". You can't make it up... that's how the developers thought the game should be played. Jesus wept, this is so bad. This game is so old it runs in DOSBOX and doesn't take advantage of hardware acceleration. It has a dated control scheme, dated graphics, and runs poorly due to the DOSBOX emulation. While DOSBOX is a fine tool for those seeking retro gaming, it's not really appropriate for ancient abandonware like this to be dumped on Steam without any modernisation, this is just a greedy cash grab from developers trying to get your money for dead software, they want to pay them a second time for a game you probably already owned. Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Street Racer is considerably worse than Mario Kart. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio, due to the age of the game, it predates the 16:9 widescreen gaming standard established back in 2006. It's possible they're marketing this towards people using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game is being specifically marketed towards people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. It's obviously not going to look right on a modern 16:9 gaming display. Because this is designed for consoles, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the inferior console gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the console-centric developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for consoles forces upon a game. Once more, console peasants have made gaming worse for everyone. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Street Racer is relatively expensive for an abandonware nostalgia gouge, at $10 USD, and it's not worth it. The game is just too old, hasn't been modernised. And as the old saying goes, you can't go home again. Even when it was new, this was never a triple-A game. This is the kind of game that went almost directly from the warehouse into the cheap bargain bins at the front of the shop. Now, on Steam, without any modernisation? This is impossible to recommend. For comparison, the $10 asking price for this game could get you games like "Final Fantasy XIV Online", "Doom Eternal" or "Bioshock Infinite". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. There's also thousands of free, superior quality games on Steam. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

[h1] Racing game from DOS era. Controls are all over the place, gladly you can change them in settings. DOS and 16-bit console versions are different. DOS version have super tiny circuits and some 3D terrain. In this version when boosting acceleration button need to be released. Console version is more similar to Mario Kart and have flat levels. Also in this version bilinear filter is forced on so expect blurry visuals. Are you ready for 10 laps? Because I'm not. 10 quirky characters with funny names to choose from. When driving slap your opponents in neck leaving smoking red mark behind like a memo - I WAS HERE. Power ups like health, turbo and time bomb which you constantly try to shake off to nearest opponent, I mean all the time. Collect stars, for what? To be honest I have no slightest idea. Music is ok. Only good thing about this one are characters and 16-bit console version which is more reliable. Better play it on actual console - at least controls are working. If you don't mind wacky racing games from 90s, then you might wanna not play this. [/h1]

It is a typical Piko release - feels botched. Of course the "16 bit" version has that super laggy Mednafen setup that is a Piko stable. It is as if a third-world guy was paid a close to nothing to get some old game working.

Would highly recommend it for anyone interested in retro racing games! At the time, people consider it an improved version of Super Mario Kart, and it even contains modes that would later be added in Mario Kart 64 - although not even as good. There's quiet a few misconceptions in the other reviews I've read, so I'll address some of them. The two versions included are [b]not[/b] remakes, they're ports. The SNES/16-bit version is the first released, and the DOS version is the latest. There were 7 versions released in total, and there's a lot of minor differences between versions. I don't think anyone expects 7 versions of a game on Steam, but I believe the Playstation version is the most played - so It'll be considered the "correct" version by most people. Of the ones included here, I prefer the SNES/16-bit version. There isn't [b]native[/b] support, but combining Steam' controller layout adjustments with the ingame options makes it quiet easy to accommodate any controller - there's even a bunch of Community Layout. Just adjust your controller of choice to input letters/arrow keys and adjust the game accordingly. It takes you like 2 minutes. The track pickups are generally colour coded, rather than trying to look like an actual object - it's a drawback of the "3-D" style of the game. It's probably a bit jarring and takes a bit to get used to for modern players. A few reviews have pointed to Street Racer being a Super Mario Kart rip-off, and breaking copyright. But the 90s were a completely different time for gaming. Just look at fighting games "ripping off" each other. Any and all modern FPS games ripping off PUBG' battle royale is a recent example of the same thing. In a different timeline, we'd say Mario Kart 64 was ripping off Street Racer. This game is nearly 30 years old - more than likely older than you - you can't compare it to modern standards. Consider it a fun time-capsule. With all of that being said... 10€ is pretty steep, but it seems to be available for dirt-cheap sometimes. So if you're here becausae of a sale, definitely check it out!

God, this is bad! The controls are horrible, there is no way to find out what to click and you'll have to go through your keyboard to figure it out (Q and W for hitting left and right, X for speed i think?, bunch of other random keys for other actions). The steering is bad, you will always oversteer and and feel like you have no cointrol over your vehicle, the music is bad, there are things on the ground but you cannot see them propperly until you have already driven across them (and not all are good). Otherwise the game looks okay but the gameplay is just not really figured out. i'd advise you stay away and get one of the better racing games on steam.

nao recomendo por 3 motivos : nao tem como configurar os controles direito e sao emulados, nao tem extras como artes, entrevistas ou modos extras.
