''Grand Prix Circuit'' is a motor racing game for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple IIGS, Commodore 64, DOS and ZX Spectrum. It was first released in by Accolade. For DOS, it was released in 1988.〔(Grand Prix Circuit (PC) ). GameSpot. Retrieved 18 February 2008.〕 == Gameplay == Players can choose from three different cars in the game. They are: * McLaren MP4/4 (Honda 1.5L V6 turbo - ) * Williams FW12C (Renault 3.5L V8 - ) * Ferrari F1/87/88C (Ferrari 3.5L V12 - ) The McLaren-Honda turbo is the most powerful car in the game but is also the most difficult car to control. This is the combination that won 15 out of 16 Grands Prix (along with 15 pole positions) in the hands of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. The Williams-Renault is the next most powerful and the car is relatively neutral to control. Interestingly the Williams-Renault is the combination but the Renault engine was in reality a V10, not the V8 that is in the game. The FW12C (with the V10 engine) was driven by Thierry Boutsen and Riccardo Patrese in 1989. The Ferrari is actually the turbo car's chassis with the V12 engine. This version did appear in public in 1988, but only as the test mule for Ferrari's 1989 engine and was never raced. As the slowest of the three the Ferrari is also the easiest to control. The test car was driven by the teams 1988 drivers Michele Alboreto and Gerhard Berger, as well as Ferrari test driver Roberto Moreno. There are eight tracks used in Grand Prix Circuit. They are: * Jacarepaguá Circuit - Brazil * Circuit de Monaco - Monaco * Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - Canada * Detroit street circuit - Detroit * Silverstone - Britain * Hockenheim - Germany * Monza - Italy * Suzuka Japan There are five difficulty levels and three playing modes: practice, single event and championship circuit and the game is accompanied by music written for the Commodore 64 by Kris Hatlelid. As stated in an interview with BBC's Top Gear in 2010, Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of the Gran Turismo (series) racing franchise for the PlayStation, was initially introduced to the genre of racing simulators by Grand Prix Circuit.〔(Top Gear talks to Kazunori Yamauchi - BBC Top Gear ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grand Prix Circuit (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
