Personal review

A basic racing game in tradition of Pole Position. Gameplay follows a similar pattern. You have to finish two rounds of a track in a certain amount of time to go to the next track. Controls are average, you have to switch between low and high gear. There is not much scenery along the track, which is understandable considering the age of the game. The rather high number of different tracks is a plus.

Description

The game features racing in a Formula One car around a variety of tracks. Gameplay is similar to that of Namco's Pole Position. The vehicle in the game has a generic two-speed manual transmission governing its speed (with a "LOW" setting and a "HI" setting). There are ten tracks in the race; the game repeats itself after the conclusion of the tenth circuit. Three difficult levels help beginners to adjust to the artificial intelligence on "skill level 1" while novices get some extra challenge on "skill level 2" and experts get the ultimate challenge on "skill level 3." A strict time limit forces players to finish races without mistakes in order to progress to a more complicated race track.
