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.

Cabinet Information

The cabinet is built to be somewhat reminiscent of the McLaren GP team with the white and international orange color scheme. The cabinet also had a window at the back so you could cheer (or heckle) the performance of co-drivers.

This game is available in a single-player (upright or deluxe sit-down) or a two-player sit-down configurations.

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

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.

Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)

Uncommon - There are 6 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 4 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 2 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
