Grand Prix 2 1996

Is it still worth playing?

MicroProse's 1996 Formula One racing simulation for DOS, designed by Geoff Crammond, which simulates the 1994 season under an official license with all 16 circuits, 28 drivers and 14 teams. A race weekend runs through practice, qualifying and the race, and there is a full season championship mode. Seven driving aids can be switched on, from steering and braking help to traction control and automatic shifting, and five difficulty levels allow fewer of them. The game simulates engine, gearbox and electrical failures, with visible smoke or flames, and offers detailed car setup options. Multiplayer is hotseat or modem linked. There is no wet weather, cars cannot flip over, and there is no black flag, as cutting the course slows the car for a time instead. Driving aids you can strip away one by one let a race weekend grow as hard as you like today.
