Satoru Nakajima F-1 Hero GB
An F-1 racing title featuring three game modes. The Warming Up mode lets the
player practice five laps on one of the sixteen tracks by themselves. Battle
mode lets the player compete against another player or a computer controlled
driver in a split-screen race (lasting from between one to ten laps depending
on the length selected). Players can also watch a race between two computer
controlled drivers. Grand Prix mode is the game’s career mode. In this series
of races, players must first run a fast enough qualifying lap to enter a race.
The top four fastest qualifying results are the ones that are chosen to
compete. After the four cars finish a race they each receive points depending
on what place they finished in. These points keep getting added to the drivers
total points tally. Having the most total points after a series of races is
the ultimate goal.
There are four F-1 cars that are available to drive. Three have manual
transmissions (requires shifting of gears while racing) while one is
automatic. They each have individual ratings in power, acceleration, and
traction.
