original world circuit

I picked it up sometime late last year in a little software store for $10 US. The orginal game, still wrapped, with sunglasses (cheap-o brand) included with the game! Needless to say it's still in the wrapper sitting on my shelf, I'll save it, there's nothing wrong with my other copy :)

Yes, bearing in mind the age of the game. GP1 (world Circuit) was way ahead of its time when it was released, as GP2 is now? The cars handling is great, no leaving the ground though, the same set-up options are there, just not as many as GP2, you still have lots (16?) of tracks, and teams and drivers to choose from. Obviously the graphics look dated, but its still a blast!!!! Buy it..... d:~) **Peter**

: DO you all think $20 is a resonable price for the first game. That was : the price from chips and bits this summer. I am sure it has dropped : since gp2s release. Is it worth it, I thaught it might be fun but is it : comparable to gp2? If you have gp2, World Circuit is overkill. Unless you simply have to have an older version of one of Geoff's Gems, spend the money on something else. Of course, you do understand that this is just my opinion, not fact? -- **************************** Michael E.

Um...there are plenty of places in the original that you could leave the ground. Try Italy for example. Hit those curbs right at full speed and off you go... - Rigs -

Yeah, your right, but I didn't explain myself properly? You can leave the ground, but the car remains flat, unlike in GP2 where you can get a full 45 degree angle on the car when it leaves the ground!!!! And the car remains in the air for much longer in GP2, too long possibly? It would be great if you could flip the car in gp2, ala Martin Brundle last season? d:~) **Peter**
