Grand Prix Circuit (1988)

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!

I played this together with my brother on our parents' 286 PC when we were small children. We were not able to control speed and steering by ourselves, so I was accelerating (well, mostly just keeping the up arrow pressed) while my brother was steering... Just hearing the music brings back so many nostalgic memories.

Skate 2
Skate 2It's been five long years since your mysterious disappearance from the skate scene, and much has changed in the wake of "the disaster-too-gnarly-to-be-named." The massive devastation left large swaths of San Vanelona completely destroyed. After the mass evacuation, one company, Mongocorp, won the bid to rebuild New San Vanelona and their zealous protection of their private property has put a damper on the once thriving skate population. Your mission is to rebuild your career and revive the New San Van skate scene. To help you get the job done, you'll have double the tricks and the new ability to get off your board to move stuff and create the sickest lines. There's even a crew of locals you can call on to help take care of business. Skate 2--it's time to take back the city ... one spot at a time.
