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
