ATR: All Terrain Racing

About

ATR All Terrain Racing is a top-down racing title from Team17 that emphasizes speed and route choice across varied environments. Players navigate overhead-scrolling tracks set in snow forests and coastal areas using a forced perspective view. Each course offers multiple paths with long and short routes creating a balance between raw speed and strategic planning. The game introduces a range of corner types beyond strict 90-degree turns adding mechanical depth to the handling. This 1995 release marks a shift for Team17 from rigid layouts seen in their earlier Overdrive title. The inclusion of power-ups and track advancements gives players tools to adjust tactics mid-race. While the Amiga and Amiga CD32 versions showcase dated visuals by today's standards the gameplay remains functional and accessible. Its focus on terrain variety and route flexibility helped establish the studio's identity during the 90s racing game boom.
