This is a capture of me racing on the hidden Strip Mine course in Top Gear Rally for the Nintendo 64. This is not an emulator. This footage was captured directly from my Nintendo 64 using an actual Top Gear Rally cartridge. I'm using a manual transmission, like always.
There are only four available courses in Championship mode of this game, but there's a hidden fifth course (Strip Mine) that can be unlocked by completing certain requirements in the Championship mode or by simply entering a cheat code.
Unfortunately, you can't access the Strip Mine in the Championship mode, but you can race against a single AI racer in the Arcade mode, which is what I did here using the PS (the Porsche). Sunny weather conditions aren't available on this course for some reason, so I selected foggy conditions and showed off the various paths you can take.
The music for this course is actually based on the music from the first Top Gear game for the SNES. I instantly recognized it when I received this game back in 1997 because my uncle used to own the original Top Gear.
Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official N64 S-video cable. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the N64's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.
I'm using a standard N64 controller.
