Hey there,
Ok I was remembering today how in February 1998 for my birthday we went to town to get a Formula 1 game, as I'd never had one before. In the shop, I saw this REALLY cool looking one based on the 1997 season with Jacques Villeneuve on the cover. The guy in the shop was asking about computer specifications and stuff. When it became clear that my 16MB RAM 2GB Hard Drive (can't remember the rest of the spec) was not gonna be in the ballpark to run this game, to my great disappointment I had to put down this MEGA looking game...
The guy then offered us an alternative that would run, and it was just £10. This game looked MUCH less attractive with it's dark green cover and unofficial face in plain red helmet on the cover. This was a certain game called Grand Prix and I had no idea how brilliant this game would turn out to be!
But I am now really trying to find this '97 PC game with Villeneuve/Williams on the cover, but I can't even remember the NAME of it. It was something Like Formula 1, Formula 1 Championship, I can't even remember, but I just cannot find it now. I really don't believe it's the same as F197 for the Playstation.
Also, around 1999/2000 I was looking in PC World (or one of those kind of shops) and there was a demo available with a control pad of a Touring Car game. I totally remember Jean-Christophe Bouillon in an Renault being in it, and having a go at Croft. I couldn't get this game at the time, but now I am really trying to find it, but it's as if I imagined it and it never existed. I can't remember what it's called, but I'm certain it was NOT Toca 2 Touring cars!
Please, does anyone know of these fabled games and just what they're called, so I can look them up? Thanks. :)
