A2 Racer III: Europa Tour

Developed by the Dutch studio Davilex Games, A2 Racer III: Europa Tour (released in 2000 for PC and 2002 for PSX) is an arcade racer that perfectly embodies the "budget racing" genre of the late 90s and early 2000s. While Davilex was known for creating localized versions of their games—like London Racer for the UK and Autobahn Raser for Germany—A2 Racer III was the grand crossover that took the series beyond the Dutch highways and across the entire European continent. It’s a game defined by high-speed illegal street racing, aggressive police pursuits, and a distinctly "European" aesthetic that made it a hit in its home markets.
