by Distinctive Software, Accolade
Genres:Sport, Simulator, Racing
Themes:Non-fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Formula One racing is recreated in detail in this simulation. You have the choice to drive a Ferrari 187/88C, a McLaren MP4/4 or a Williams FW12, each with different qualities. Rival drivers also have their own styles and strengths, and to win the World Championship you will have to master these. Pitstop timing and planning is crucial as well, although only tires are changed in late-1980s F1. You can choose whether to drive a single race at Brazil, Britain, Monaco, (Western) Germany [Hockenheim], Canada, Italy, Detroit and Japan [Suzuka] or to drive a full championship on every track. Every Race includes a qualifying round. The graphics in the game are sprite-based.Show more

This was literally the very first digital game I have ever played, in a long-forgotten PC-XT at my dad's workplace, while he was learning to program on an adjacent machine. I had a not-so-legit copy in a glorious 5 1/4 floppy disk. It took me a long time to actually play the game in color, since at the time most monitors were just green phosporus CRTs. The game itself is quite simple, but enjoyable. All I remember is that playing on manual (gear shift) was my biggest challenge, as a child. It would be great to pay homage to the game that started it all for me, and finally pay for it!
