Formula One: Built to Win for the original NES
I had never heard of it, but I was playing around with some old school games online, and came across it.

Play it online here

Ive been playing it for about an hour and its uncanny the similarities.

Start off with a slow car, upgrade tire, engine, suspension, earn licenses, race in different areas.
The gameplay is even pretty sophisticated for the time, you can drift, opponents block you, and its f-ing hard

pretty slick

Of course not really because you can't upgrade like GT.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

it IS pretty good! I've never seen that one, in fact, I didn't even know that NES site was there. Fun fun.

How do you get a damn license? I'm tired of being blocked by blue VW's! :?

you win a bunch of races. then you get "International C" license.

I downloaded an emulator and the ROM so I could save the game and come back to it

Ah ok, I thought I was missing soemthing. Yeah good call, not saving sucks. So is this the way you decided to go instead of rFactor? :lol:

*edit* BTW, this game also reminds me of Top Gear for the SNES, my brother and I wasted waaaay too much time on that game, but it was a good 2-player and actually had a decent sense of speed. Check that one out if you find a ROM/emulator for it.

Nice, I'll have to check this out.

I've been into emulators for a long time. I have all the old NES games that I used to own on my computer now, including Super Dodge Ball!!

I've got a Neo Geo one too that is awesome, but it hasn't worked for a while for some reason.

Ill give Top Gear a shot. For some reason Im fidning retro games to be a lot more fun right now than even new stuff. The new emulators have 2 player over the internet which is pretty cool

btw chan if you want the ROM for F1 then let me know, its super small

Right now Im looking for the arcade emulation of virtua racing. The first 3d racing sim and predecessor to F355 challenge
