Grand Prix Circuit by Accolade

Hey just wanted to know if anyone remebers playing Grand Prix Circuit (made by accolade) about 5-6 years ago? I just want to hear people remarks about it I remeber it was a great game cause it finally got rid of the arcadey factor in driving games like Pole position. There were three cars, Mclaren, Williams and Ferrari. I remeber that the Mclaren had the fastest car but worst handling whereas the ferrari was opposite and the Williams was in between. It had eight tracks (real ones too) and included that little dot on the sterring wheel which told you how much it turned. I also remember that i used to lap Monaco in 58.1 seconds (shit hey?) So if anyone else remebers this game (perhaps even knows where i can get a copy of it) Please post here at Rec.Autos.Simulators Santosh

It was the first game I ever bought. I think I was 13 or 14 years old. I don't know where you could get it. You might try the bargain bins or something, but I doubt it. It's a pretty old game. Although, I might be able to find my old copy in the ba***t somewhere. Jason Reineri

Hi, I think it was the first F1 game i played with. And i had great moments with it. I am sure i stil have a copy "somewhere"... I also remember it was quite hard to drive only with the arrows pad ! Cheers Gerald

Hello Santosh: I can send to you a copy via email if you want just let me know it, is not too big. The only feature that I liked and remember was the track editor, I really did a lot of weird tracks. Juan Carlos

The track editor was in Road And Track Grand Prix Unlimited (a really cheesy game) The poster was referring to Accolage's Grand Prix Circuit. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John William Smith | Student, University of Western Ontario | | http://gaul.csd.uwo.ca:8080/~smith16/ London, ON, Canada | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

It doesn't work well with a 486. The joystick on my machine won't work with it.
