Name: | Super Monaco Grand Prix series (2 titles) Super Monaco Grand Prix Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco Grand Prix 2 |
Author/Vendor: | Sega |
Released: | various |
Type: | Racing (Formula 1) |
Language: | English and Japanese |
Premise: | The first, but not the last, of the Formula 1 racing sims for the Genesis. |
Impressions: | Decent graphics, a well-thought out range of options, and simple yet effective gameplay. There are flasher racing sims, and there are better playing ones, but few have been able to strike a happy balance between those two points. Super Monaco Grand Prix does that, and so does its sequel to a somewhat lesser extent. |
Variations: | Super Monaco Grand Prix (1990, simple but sweet, and one
of the few G/MD titles to support multiple console versions - you can pick either the
English or Japanese version) Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco Grand Prix 2 (1992, this YACEG sequel set new standards in Genesis racing sims that would be surpassed by only a select handful of titles - the English-only version is the only one known to date, although a Portuguese version is rumored) |
Recommended Emu: | Genecyst X |
