This month I played «Microprose Formula One Grand Prix» (reviewed in PC Games 2/1993: https://www.kultboy.com/index.php?site=t&id=23284). 🏎️ I very much enjoyed some nostalgia in the menus (love the map view) and I can see, how this was a big technical achievement back then. My brother loved those very simulationy games, setting up the car, driving season by season. 🔧 I preferred the way simpler «Grand Prix Circuit» from 1988. 🏁 It’s also been the first time in years I calibrated a joystick manually. 🕹️ #games #33YearsAgo

@studioumluft crazy that I remember playing this game when young without knowing its title until today.

@bitinn I feel like something about the cockpit perspective is very specific to this game, so you instantly recognize it when you’ve played it, even years later. 😌 In the US it was called «World Circuit», maybe that rings a bell. 🔔

@studioumluft ohh I played the crap out of this one!!! Also had the sequels, but, absolutely NOTHING compares to this gem. Even nowadays times of Gran Turismo and others, they cannot replicate the feeling we had back in the day playing this game. My goodness.
