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!
