Michael Andretti's World Grand Prix	American Sammy;Kemco;Varie (Human)	1988	Superstar Michael Andretti personally guides you through the perilous and exciting world of Grand Prix Racing! Four of the most powerful racing machines are your to command on 16 famous international Grand Prix courses from around the globe! Hone your driving skills or challenge the best - it's all up to you in this amazing simulation of Formula One racing!**Nakajima Satoru F1 Hero published by Kemco 1988-12-09 in Japan Michael Andretti's World GP published by American Sammy 1990-06 in USA Colin McRae Rally published 1992 in Europe I have not played the Nakajima Satoru F1 Hero or Colin McRae Rally variants so I cannot be sure of the details of those games. But the Andretti and McRae versions are essentially just re-themed variants of the Satoru game. I'm guessing that few (or none) tracks and cars are common to all of them. The Michael Andretti version is a fictional mixture of Formula 1 and CART racing and stars Michael Andretti (who had never driven an F1 car in 1988) . It includes Michael Andretti's Chevy Lola (CART), a Honda V-10 F1, a Ferrari V-12 F1, and a Mugen V-8 F1. It takes place on all the1988 F1 courses except Phoenix which is anachronistically replaced by Detroit. In reality, Michael Andretti had never won a race at any of these tracks but would win a race in 1990 at Detroit. He never even raced at 7 of the tracks, before or since this game. Like many racing games of its day it fairly accurately reproduces the 2D layout of real tracks but not the elevations or banks. Also the scenery, which sometimes is an important element of racing (the lighting difficult tunnel at Monaco, or the corner blinding baseball stadium at Suzuka, for instances), is only vaguely represented by an image on the horizon. Control is unique in that turns are not preformed by holding the direction, but rather taping it to instantly rotate the car into one of seven predetermined turn radius positions. Gas is A, Brake is B, A+B will maintain speed, Start pauses, Select aborts, A and B cycle through menu choices. There are practice and two player verses options in addition to the main game. Players can take up to five qualifying laps to get a best time. Tire wear is a factor during qualifying. The player may pit and the time will count in that lap. Pressing select will end participation in the current phase of the current event. It is impossible to collide with opponents' cars. Placing in a race scores 1 for 4th place, 2 for 3rd, 3 for 2nd, and 5 for 1st. The players of the Michael Andretti version can choose the following personalities as their driver/character and have little choice when it comes to racing against them.: [list][]Player 1 []Player 2 []Michael Andretti, [i]He drives a Chevy Lola[/i] []Alain Brost (Alain Prost) []Ayrton Zenna (Ayrton Senna), [i]He also drives a Chevy Lola[/i] []Gelhart Gerger (Gerhard Berger), [i]Honda V-10 F1[/i] []Nelson Pequet (Nelson Piquet) []Nigel Manselo (Nigel Mansell) []Alesandro Nannimi (Alessandro Nannini) []Thierry Bietsen (Thierry Boutsen) []Michele Alboreta (Michele Alboreto) []Derek Warwich (Derek Warwick) []Jonathan Pulmer (Jonathan Palmer) []Ivan Capella (Ivan Capelli) []Eddie Cheemer (Eddie Cheever, Jr.)[/list] [Zerothis]	NES

Shin Nihon Pro Wrestling: Chou Senshi in Tokyo Dome	Varie	1993		SNES
Shin Nihon Pro Wrestling: Toukon Sanjushi	Varie	1993	A wrestling game featuring New Japan Pro Wrestling's three biggest stars: Keiji Muto, Masahiro Chono, and Shinya Hashimoto. Unfortunately, a big license does not make a good game. The characters look exactly alike (although the computer is a darker skin tone) and differ only by their basic attacks, though the grappling moves are the same. Also, a roster of only three selectable characters is disappointing. Toukon Sanjushi fails miserably at capturing the excitement of New Japan Pro Wrestling. The subtitle of the game translates to "Fighting Spirit Three Musketeers," which refers to the three characters of the game, known as the Three Musketeers by NJPW fans. [Jacquismo]	GB
