Michael Andretti's Indy Car Challenge
is an arcade-style racing video game that is sponsored by Michael Andretti. It was released exclusively for the SNES in North America and Japan. Gameplay The game features Champ Car (now called IndyCar) action. There are many modes of play including single race, season mode, and the option to disable the sound and/or music. The season mode consists of 16 tracks. One or two players can join in on the action. Prior to each race, the player is given the option to adjust tire pressure, down force, and gear ratio. Higher tire pressure reduces grip on the road but increases acceleration and top speed. Higher down force does the reverse. Higher gear ratio increases top speed but reduces acceleration. Each track features its own hints in a section called "Michael's Advice". The game is roughly based on the 1994 CART World Series season and the viewpoint is from a third-person perspective. Reception In their review, ''GamePro'' described the game as solidly designed, with an excellent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Michael Andretti's World GP
''Satoru Nakajima F-1 Hero'' (known in North America as ''Michael Andretti's World GP'') is a video game developed by Human Entertainment released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. It starred American IndyCar driver Michael Andretti, and featured the full sixteen-race schedule of the FIA Formula One World Championship circuit (though Andretti himself would only compete in Formula One in the 1993 season). ''F-1 Hero'' was unique in that it deviated from most console racing games of its time. Instead of being an arcade-style driving game (such as ''Rad Racer'' or '' Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing''), ''F-1 Hero'' more closely resembled a simulation-style racing game. It was the first NES racing game to feature an entire field of real-life drivers (although all but Andretti had pseudonyms), and rather accurately depicted the sixteen circuits on the Formula One schedule. Four different cars were offered in the game, however, there were no car set-ups in the game, a feature mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
