Gameplay

Like many Amiga racers from the era, ATR was a so-called "top down racer". This meant that the camera would be looking down onto the track. Handling was based on drifting around corners and crashing into opponents.

Unlike many of the top down racers of the time, tracks had short cuts which added an element of strategy. There were also environmental hazards the player had to avoid, such as oil slicks and small jumps. Tracks had turns that were not just 90 degrees in nature, a shortcoming of ATR's precursor, Overdrive. Pickups such as turbos were littered about the track.
