Gameplay

In order to succeed in the racing world, the player has to progress from go-karts to snowmobiles, IROC racing cars, and eventually to Indy racing cars.[3]

If the player does well, then the final challenge is to take on Al Unser, Jr. in the final event at Vancouver. This race uses the Molson Indy Vancouver as a final test of the player's skills. The player can also practice every stage of the game except the final stage.[3] Go-kart racing involves regional action in the United States of America while snowmobiles provide challenge for the game's simulated winter months. Competing in the stock cars of the IROC is considered to be gaining experience for the faster and lighter open wheel vehicles of the Indy league.

Game progress is saved using passwords.[4]

Reception

In their review, GamePro described Al Unser Jr's Road to the Top as an excellent racing game for beginners due to its simple mechanics and controls and uncluttered graphics.[5]

Allgame gave the game a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars.[6]

gollark: In a few years I think it'll be back on dedicated accelerator cards anyway.
gollark: Nvidia added real-time raytracing stuff to distract from the lack of significant generational price/performance improvement (because of poor competition in the market), and machine learning stuff for some reason, and then hyped them so much that they threw out stuff like "sanity" and "consistent branding".
gollark: AMD's got a 5700 XT "Anniversary Edition", though...
gollark: Nvidia's done it stupidly *too*! It goes GTX 9x0 (Ti) → GTX 10x0 (Ti) → RTX 20x0 (Ti) + GTX 16x0 (Ti) (in the same generation) → now some of them have "Super" variants for some reason and some are being replaced by the super versions but some aren't.
gollark: The prices seem to be weirdly shifted in Australia.
