Formula 1 (Psygnosis)

I went back home and downloaded epsxe emulator, found Formula 1 and simple can't stop playing it, anyone else play this game? was the best thing that ever came out in 1996 haha

I loved that game, but F1 '97 was far superior

---

F1 '97 was an awesome game, nothing on console's come close since, which is a real shame.

Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the point? Terry Pratchett - The Science Of Discworld

GPGSL S5 Race driver for IED.

I prefer it to '97.

I still play them both religiously on the PS1, (pretty much every day when at home ), nothing comes close to them for fun factor!
Plus you get Murray Walker commentating, and kick-ass music as well, which really adds to the games I find.
The bonus track for F1 97 is a must, if you don't know the cheat, enter a driver name as 'billy bonus' and you also get Adelaide and Aida mirrored, as well as a black and white Silverstone track

F1 97 was indeed good fun back in the day... But surely, the best thing in 1996 was GP2?!

Nah, the best one was naming the driver Box Chatter - it gave you animated martin and murrary sprites :D

Ooh, found videos of them:





Also these ones:

pi man - wipeout mode
virtually virtual - Virtua Racing mode

If Codemasters can make their F1 game as accessible and fun as F1 97 was I'd be more than happy with it.

Yeah, it was still quite arcade, but i enjoy the feel of it even now.

---

that bonus track looks like an awesome track to have for rFactor!

Actually Gui, i have been waiting patiently for someone to make it

That, and Bern-Grauholz from GP2.

Gary I thought of trying it on Bob's Track Builder but I am far too busy to even play videogames, big shame. Maybe I can talk Fincent into doing it

So did i! Will Fincent accept bribes? I can offer cold hard sweets

I started it in BTB ages ago, got a layout done, but i've never built a track before..
When I get my dissertation finished next week I'll try to get working on it again!




It'll be impossible to have the original pitlane in though

That game rules so hard! First played it when I was like 6 years old. Finally got the brilliant menu tune by Joe Satriani on CD

I played the demo for the game, was very fun :p.

Salva, looking at it I picture a Formula 1 car, haha, pretty nice!

can u send me this emu and game please i loved it for the ps1 never stopped playing but then the disc got all scratched and dont got a ps1 or ps2 anymore

'He's hit the Canadian!'

My bedroom used to reverberate to that noise back in 98!

---

i still have the game for pc

On F1 '97, you could confuse Murray by messing up the race order as he was running through it. He'd get to the last one in the correct order, say 'Errrrrrrrrrr....' and then carry on
