Grand Prix 4 looked unbelievable for 2002.

Grand Prix 2 was a milestone for racing games. The graphics and the realism was way ahead of its time. I could barely stop playing it

This helped me realize how far ahead Arcade was even in the mid to late 80s during the peak NES/Famicom days

It is astonishing how well the original Pole Position I and II holds up even today. It looks and sounds great _now_ , so imagine how mind-blowing it was when it was new.

Grand Prix 2 and Grand Prix 4 are still the best ones for me. And I miss Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP 2 a lot. I've played this nonstop between 1993 and 1996...

Grand Prix Legends still holds up well today. Absolutely ahead of time. Unbelievable that it came out on 1998!

Murray Walker's voice in some games of the 90s makes it so much more nostalgic.

The Iconic "Pitstop 2" 1984 - Commodore 64 ---- Missing from the collection. Spent months playing on that game.

I was killer at the 1982 Monaco GP ... with the 3 screen, sit down console. Cutting edge back then baby!

Grand Prix 2 in 1992 was truly revolutionary. It was the Asetto Corsa of its time, and modifiable out of the box. There were racing leagues before we could even race online. Jacques Villeneuve used it to learn the corner sequences of tracks that were new to him and he credits some of his success as a rookie in F1 to it (but they thought this was funny back then)

There's something about Pole Position that still just works. It's not just nostalgia' although that may well be a factor. But just the graphics, colours, sound, and gameplay, it all comes together perfectly. I think it holds up in terms of fun and playability even today.

Wow, Gran Turismo 3s graphics were a generation ahead of everything else at the time.

Amazing video! Virtua Racing is a pretty glaring omission as it was a rather important game. But thank you for including Winning Run; I didn't know about that one.

MircroProse Grand Prix 2 was so far ahead of its time. I remember that I didn’t have a computer to run on full graphics until years after the game was released.

The year 2022 is coming to an end, I thank you for having been so many to join the channel and watch my videos. After the video on the rally, many of you asked me for a video on the evolution of Formula 1. Here are all the games I could find in which you can drive a F1 car. If you know of others, please mention them in the comments. Happy new year to all.

Errr, where is F1 GP by Geoff Crammond? One of the best and most influential racing (not just F1) games of all time.

I’m shocked how good the 1983 TX-1 game looks.

Ahhh.....microprose F1 gp 4 by Geoff Crammond.....still on the go today due to the modding community.....that and GP Legends, (again still up and running), they both just got it so right. Fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to compile this video. 👍👍

10:04 I think you displayed Grand Prix Circuit twice, instead of showing Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix (1)

Grand Prix Legends changed everything. ❤️

0:00 Monaco GP(Sega): Legendary Kaboom Racing 0:11 Monte Carlo(Atari): |-8-| |-0-| I wonder why Monaco is so green on that time 0:22 Turbo(Sega): Much more speedy Kabooms 0:33 Pole Position(Namco/Atari): Old good Kabooms as old days classic 0:55 Chequered Flag(ZX Spectrum): Sounds like a big brother of Grand Prix Circuit 1:06 Pole Position II(Namco/Atari): Kaboom Grand Prix with more circuits 1:17 TX-1: Pretty nice graphics on 1983 1:35 F-1 Race(NES): The Road to 495km/h, otherwise usual Kabooms as the old standard 1:57 Formula 1 Simulator(MSX): Nice try on a PC that bad on scrolling 2:07 Grand Prix Simulator(Amstrad CPC): Formula RC Simulator 2:19 Home Hungaroring(Commodore 64): Nice old layouts of Hungaroring 2:30 World Grand Prix(Master System): Sega's Pole Position

Cool video. For me there are 2 milestones, the Granprix series from the late 90's - that was the first step into something trying to be realistic and indeed it made most titles look a bit naff for a long time after. Then AC, PC2, AMS etc set the modern standard - and are games that are still by far the best many years after they were released - and werent even dedicated f1 games!

So how many F1 games you want? 1992: yes

Already in 90's games started to look quite fine. I personally think that games are games and they dont even need to look perfectly realistic. Oftrn cartoon style games are even more fun.

For "me", hands down the best F-1 video game EVER is Grand Prix Legends. I bought it when it first came out in 1998 and still have it and still play it!! The learning curve is great, it really makes you drive it like a real car, and not just shift and smash the accelerator, you are rewarded when you drive sensibly and punished when you don't, there are no cheat codes or easy modes, to make the cars less demanding. The original cars are from 1967, NO aerodynamic aids such as wings and only hard compound tires, as the real cars would use the same set for a few races. The best thing about GPL is, the game has and continues to evolve as there are other complete car sets for 65, 66, 68 and 1969 F-1 season, each with different AI characteristics to match the corresponding years. Not only that, there is a 967 sports car racing season too. Tracks are NUMEROUS, with many historic tracks that the original game didn't have, plus, updated graphics and AI of all the original tracks. I would say, having bought a game way back in 1998, I am still LEARNING how to be an "intelligent" race car driver, and drive it as a simulation and Not with an arcade game mentality. I would also say without hesitation, I have DEFINITELY gotten my monies worth!!!

Grand Prix 2 in 95 was the game changer, even today the game looks still nice

Hace 40 años en mis tiempos de secundaria jugué algunos...☝️☺️😉👌👌

Pole position was so fucking good man

Looking now, the arcade graphics at the time were very advanced, even for the early 18xx consoles.

I'm pretty sure those older games has shorted out sound chips... 😂

For my taste, Gran Turismo 5 and F1 2011 have a very photo realistic picture. This is very good because it conveys the entourage of racing, the colors of those times. It seems to me that this picture is more suitable for racing than the current one, in which there are very contrasting and bright colors (but this is just my opinion)

No Pitstop or Pitstop 2 for C64? Shame. And Overtake was not in the arcade, it was for the Sharp X68000

Continental Circus and Final Lap had amazing graphics. Was incredible for 1987.

23:53 The halo on the top of the cockpit was only introduced after 2018

The Jump from PS1 and everything pre PS1 to the PS2 is absolutely staggering.

I like that all of the early ones were just you passing an infinite number of cars in a rocket ship.

Those early games though 😭😭 I'd forgotten just how basic they were lol 😂 It was so good to hear Murray Walker again in the old F1 games 😭 lol

10:00 my first F1 Game. nice. Thank for your upload.

I remember as a kid back then everything was overhead but when n64 and ps1 came out racing changed tracks actually looked like real track it was pretty incredible. People dont understand the technological leap going to ps1 n64.

I have this memory of playing a F1 racing game on the genesis that allowed you to ramp over someone tires. Anyone remember that?

All my childhood ....

18:26 I think that was the first sim racing

1996 Grand Prix 2 on PC will always be the best game. You must be old enough to understand it

Excellent video! Very good compilation of Formula 1 games. Beyond the old or modern, my lifelong perfect game par excellence was the Formula One Championship Edition PS3 (23:41). I subscribe💪

(1st, raster scroll racing) -> before 2dimention-physics racing -> before tilt-lookdown racing -> before polygon racing -> before 30fps/60fps racing -> before Shader racing -> before Dolby-surround racing -> before weather racing -> before raytracing racing

the amount of times they went off road amazes me

Yo some of these from the 80s are actually quite impressive

Absolutely loved Formula One 97 on the PlayStation and then I hated formula one 98. Talk about a massive turn around completely in the wrong direction

17:28 F1 Racing Simulator was an amazing game! So much tweaking you could do and it looked and still looks amazing. It also felt amazing. That's how 3 year old me fell in love with F1 alongside the 1997 season.

Nice video! Very good showcase! You were missing some games though.

It is interesting to see how the graphics and quality improved on the same platform. (Consoles with the same hardware, not arcade or PC) It wasn't up until the mid 90s when some sort of realism found the way into the games.

22:14 this is where I started playing F1 and stayed for a very long time on rfactor. I was in elementary and started saving for GeForce mx200. I was emulating my mouse back then as a joystick. Now I have a decent wheel and simracing on vr. To this day I still enjoy racing.

Всего 10 секунд на "Power F1" 1996 года?! Серьезно?! Я несколько лет в неё играл. Там режим игры на двоих - экран делился пополам. Там копии настоящих трасс. Там очень живая физика, по тем временам. Я в шоке.

Cracking video mate. My first was the spectrum 48 F1 game. Keep up the good work. Subbed .

I was still young back then, I remember most of that. Now one probably understands why we preferred to race in the arcade hall rather than on the console or PC at home in the early 90s. Despite the nostalgia, I prefer current simulators :)

Grand Prix 2 was so far ahead of its time.

In the 80s there was slight "quality variation" even on same platform. Some knew how to code these, some didn't. Well, I guess it goes through all decades.

Winning Run from 1988 was ahead of its time with that graphic. Where is Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 1 from 91/92? This was my first F1 game, i played it a lot. Then GP2 of course.

I remember playing Super Monaco GP on Sega Genesis all the time and always hit the flag man on the finish line and giggled every time he flew away into orbit. (Edit, I had to copy and delete my original comment due to a scam bot).

You kinda made the codemaster games look bad with the low quality. I know it’s hard to broadcast such an amazing game in high quality without a TV, but the 2013 you showed looked nothing like the 2013 I play on my TV.

World Circuit is missing. It was this one that started Grand Prix 2, 3, and 4.

21:41 This is basically PlayStation 1 Machine being pushed beyond its limit. Water reflection OMG

The clip at 18:02 is not F1 World Grand Prix. The clip appears to be from F1 World Grand Prix: 1999 Season for PSX.

Man Grand Prix 2 was straight out impossible at the highest difficulty setting

C'est là qu'on se rend compte à quel point l'arcade c'était fou.

And where is the F1GP by Microprose from 1991? Dream F1 simulator of my childhood, and as I see from this video, an f1 simulator far ahead its time!

The 1987 Arcade got phantastic Textures on Car

Winning Run was years ahead of its time.

Fun fact, some F1 games from the late 90s and early 2000s have different physics for arcade and simulation modes

1991 - Formula One Grand Prix (Amiga, Atari ST, PC) - That was the OG as a kid. Did I miss it in your list?

It’s official! F1 graphics haven’t changed since 2010!

Для интересующихся ретро болидами хочу сообщить, что к старой f1 99-02 регулярно продолжают выходить моды на сезоны с начала 70ых годов до 2005 года! Я сам протестировал 86, 89-92 годы! И если с 86 годом у компьютерных противников возникают проблемы, к сожалению, то более поздние годы играются все так же хорошо! Кто не хотел бы проехать на болидах "турбо эры" или сразится с Сенной и Простом!? Это все позволяет простая и открытая архетектура игры. У той же f1 2020 с модами возникают проблемы...

Cara, muito boa essa compilação!!!!

I enjoy your video very much. Happy New Year!

90年代初頭のF1が熱かったことが、ソフトの本数からも分かりますね ここに出てこなかったスーパーファミコンのソフトを持っていましたが、かなりのリアリティがあって今でも遊べます

Winning Run in the Arcade was incredible for its time, I remember sitting in it and playing it every time I went to the Arcades, and it was on hydraulics. Loved it. Grand Prix Legends is amazing on a PC and again was way ahead of its time. And huge ❤ to Geoff Crammond the Racing Sims he did back in the day were unbelievable.

Grand Prix for DOS brings back memories

My favorite F1 game is F1 2020 because of the legendary old F1 cars

I played most of these games from 88 onwards and I swear - at the time , they never felt basic or primitive- the opposite- immersive and cutting edge each year at the time

Virtua Racing?

ただただ懐かしい。

Revs: the first sim I remember that had elevation changes, even though it only had an old Silverstone layout. The elevation changes was a biggie at the time

1989. F1 Manager. Commodore 64. My first F1 game!! Thanks for letting me remember the name of the game!!! Graphics tremendously improved nowadays but I can't find any better than gran prix saga, gp2 and gp4 my favourite. Hence today only playing granturismo but not for f1 experience

Hats off to developers for adding rain reflection to g 2000 grand prix 3.

Nice video but many important games are missing : the Pitstop series, Speedway Classic, Super Sprint, Vroom, Microprose Grand Prix, etc.

So cool, thanks for the memories ❤️

When you have more video games than podiums Pov: Satoru Nakajima

F1 Grand Prix 2 MS DOS I think it was by Geoff Crammond was for me the pinnacle of F1 games. As others have no doubt said you are missing Epyx’s Pitstop 2 on C64.

can you do NASCAR games next? Happy new year!

1992.Over takeはarcadeではなくX68000という日本産PCで発売されていました。

Man check out that early 3D in late 80s, must've been mind blowing stuff to see at the arcades Also I love that this video doesn't just show the evolution of f1 games themselves but the graphical fidelity and sporting regulations too

一番最初の2Dゲーム、温泉旅館のゲームコーナーに必ずあった、氷ステージがあったり、暗闇ステージがあったり、かなり熱中した記憶がある

Grand Prix Legends for me. Really miss playing that 😢

my favorite one is iracing for 2008 but those graphics look crazy good for an old game

Formula One is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars 🏎️🏁!

Pole Position was really ahead of its time compared to other same era F1 games !

TX-1 looks amazing for 1983, looks totally playable even today.

Awesome video!!

did you miss Geoff Crammond Formula One Grand Prix? because what you showed early 1992 wasnt the game and looks like the same footage showed earlier in the video

20:06 my first and last f1 game - on mac
