Super Monaco GP

スーパー・モナコＧＰ

Description

Formula One racing that takes place on a fair approximation of the Monaco GP course. Paddle shifters behind steering wheel are very authentic to GP technology of the time (with further bonus points for the ability to recover from spins in a realistic fashion). The best part is the force feedback in the steering wheel and seat movement mimicking acceleration, braking, cornering, spins and wrecks.

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

Do not steer through the chicane; the game will, for whatever reason, take your car through it under full acceleration. Also, use your left foot to brake; with the exception of a few corners (particularly the hairpin), there's little reason to lift from the accelerator as long as you brake with your left foot.
