Grand Prix Circuit - Accolade - [MS-DOS]

Grand Prix Circuit is a motor racing computer game released for the ZX Spectrum, PC, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC. It was first released in 1987[citation needed] by Accolade. For PC, it was released in 1988[1]. There are eight GPs in the game: Brazil, Monaco, Canada, Detroit, Britain, Germany, Italy and Japan. You can select a McLaren Honda MP4/4, Ferrari F187/88C or Williams Judd FW12 as your Formula One team. Each car is different in speed and steering. There are five difficulty levels and three playing modes: practice, single event and championship circuit.
The Music for the Commodore 64 was written by critically acclaimed Kris Hatleild, and is considered by many a top 10 8bit music track.

This and Prince of Persia

[@kosmosyche]

Yes, this game, Prince of Persia, PC-Man (nice Pac Man clone), Dick Tracy, Barbarian and Stormlord were the first PC games I ever played on my friend's PC XT with EGA graphics, all played in one sitting. By the time I had also never ever played a computer/video game before and only glimpsed several old arcades in some shops or theaters (my mom never allowed me to play or even stick around to watch other kids play them, perhaps thinking I was too young for that stuff), so needless to say my mind was utterly blown that day.

[@EireannachNathair]

Anyone who also endlessly tried to reach the stands or the city? :)

[@aleksandrasnikitinas4872]

So much time spent to this! This 8bit tracks will stay in the memory forever

This video just brought back old-forgotten memories...i used to play this along other games on my dads pc, even though i couldnt speak english, i still discovered and enjoyed them...shame that my father had passed away and i cannot show him anymore this video, would have been nice to remininsce with him...

[@madboy4976]

OMG I play this when I was about 3 years old. I'm now 26 and still remember that theme music in my head

[@pantro-zs6yu]

Gracias por subir este video, me trae muchos recuerdos!!! Fue mi primer juego de computadora (de mi papá), una armada con un disco duro de 33 megas que parecía imposible que algún día se pudiera llenar... sejemante a las de IBM, no existía windows todavía, se manejaba el directorio raiz con base en lenguaje basic o sistema DOS (no sé mucho de computadoras) disco de 5 1/4" (floppy), jugaba con el teclado, se registraban los récords de las vueltas rápidas. Me gustaba correr con el McLaren para las pistas rápidas (velocidad máxima 216 kph) y con el Ferrari (max. 204 kmh) para medias y lentas como Mónaco porque era bastante estable. El Williams no me gustaba mucho. Cómo gocé con ese juego!! Una vez que fui sabiendo cómo jugar con cada auto me gustaba dejar pasar a los rivales que contenía el programa para luego rebasarlos y recuerdo algunos nombres como Don Matrelli, Nigel Levins y sobretodo Toni Borlini, que a cada rato chocaba contra él... y se veía en pantalla cómo se dañaba el frente del auto!

[@nandateme]

Damn again a game I used to played a lot when I was young ! You got all my classics dude, thank you so much for this video :)

[@drackula1985]

This brings me back to 1992...but my PC was B&W :D

[@SergeyPetrovTextCenter]

It was one of my favorite games! And sound was bright!

[@SunnyEstates]

Love you bro, you rekindled my life

[@SSEnrich]

One of my favourites around 1990. Played it over and over again. Bruno Gourdo! Germany was favourite track.

[@meherkumar8357]

Wow Awesome..i played this game when i was studying d base 3 plus...thanks a ton for uploading this

[@Francoislfd]

Souvenirs incroyables. Mon premier jeu de F1 sur l'ordinateur de mon père. Même la musique me revient.

[@ChochoGK]

Oh my God!! Haven't seen this a while and I just noticed how much I missed this cool music! :D

[@Jozua86]

When i played this game, i didnt even have a color monitor.

[@juanjosecastro2178]

me too, i remember playing this game in 1991 for several hours like many DOS games as well.

[@NikhchansGaming]

And still it looked so gorgeous especially the car select

[@kopstoot]

I played it orange/black :)

[@NikhchansGaming]

@@kopstoot Ohh.. I played it grayscale!

[@aopxtzis]

Me too

[@NikhchansGaming]

From a time when just seeing the car on title screen was a delighting experience!

[@FrankieHresko]

Oh man! Nostalgic hits me right away 😍😍😍

[@user-cq3nv6np6s]

Great game back in the days. Just to hear the music makes me smile. 😊

[@TheGameCollector]

This brings back memories! 😊 I remember this game so well. Played with a friend battling to get the best times on the different tracks! 😊

[@Rick60905]

I have the same memories Times that never came back

[@beelzebub3676]

Lovely Sound

[@uncleaceofbaser]

At 10 years old, this game seemed to me the limit of realism and technology perfection.

[@damnitjustletmepass]

Childhood memories. Thanks.

[@bbvibrabb]

This was the first game I ever played and I'd been trying to find it for ages. As soon as the music started playing I knew I'd found it

[@anonymouse2847]

Wow.. good old days :) i used to play this game on my Dad’s computer. We had a dos system that time and I couldn’t leave his office for hours together!

[@Rapanui5]

Soo much nostalgia with that theme. I used to play this game ALOT in 1991 on our XT

[@Ich-1982]

Krass, damals war es unfassbar geil und ich habe sogar das A-Team und Mc Gyver verpasst weil ich dieses Spiel auf dem 386ger meines Papas gezockt habe. Und heutzutage kann man nur noch lächeln über so nen Schmarrn! Wie doch die Zeit vergeht.

[@addieroxrev09]

this brings back sooooo many memories .. ahh those were the times :'(

[@topisantakivi5540]

Yes! Especially completing the Monaco track under a minute, that was THE thing

[@TheRetroRaven]

This, TestDriver I and TestDriver II was my favorite games when I was young. I still play this game once in a while.

[@Foxstab]

This takes me back a few decades...

[@joyridesun]

OMG it feels like yesterday 😍😍😍

[@motionsam]

music that teleports you 30 years back in time...

[@theulimatecollecter7333]

This games bring back nostalgia I used to play this game when I was a kid

[@pastrellimusic]

When I was 5 or 6 years old, dad teach me how to write the command lines to run in MS-DOS this game and can play it. The other one game was The Prince Of Persia. Those games were the start to learn more about computer language. 😄(I have never forget this part of my childhood])

[@GamingMylo]

oh the memories, I played this game on a B&W monitor as well as a G&B monitor then years after played it on a full color monitor haha, loved it!

[@Shendue]

Man, i loved this game. Used to play it a lot on ZX Spectrum, then i found GP Ega on pc! With S-I-X-T-E-E-N colors! SIXTEEN! I was amazed! ^_^

[@Electricbeing333]

I'm still playing this every day and it's 2023. Nothing can beat this game..

[@user-cg4pm9zm8k]

Feel the same

[@Spacewarrior1]

my first pc game i ever had , thing it was on a 286 . Loved it so much :)

[@Sidewayz455]

Wow this is the firs time I see this game in colour... I played it when I was 7 on my 186 with yellow and black monitor... Brings back the memories...

[@samuelonyina7793]

This was my game!... I remember playing this game in my mom's office when I was young

[@MartyMcFly__]

My childhood!😍

[@isidorepas]

on PC, i found a great bug. While accelerating, hold the "gear up" key pressed, and sometimes release & press it again just after. You should not change gear, but your speed will keep go up. I reached 250 with the McLaren. At 256, speed returns to 0.

[@warrax111]

10 years after your comment, it's time to make a patch after 32 years.

[@aleksandarkikivideos]

now I must try it lol :D

[@forevchik]

ностальгия)))))

[@Eurospezial]

Maaaannnnn this game was sooo good back then, i remember how i was celebrating several days after i became champion on the hardest setting (u had to change tires and switch geares), i was like 5 or 6 back then and i felt like i was Senna himself.

[@technofaisal]

Love the opening track

[@Mark49007]

This was one of my first games which I played on work PC of my mother.

[@LFGerm]

....how how did my ears survive that infernal noise XD ....first PC game i ever played back in the 80ies and so fond memories ...now all destroyed :D that sound is just ...

[@juliogalak]

I Like this video very much,, brings back my memory from my elementary school.. my pc was 286, processor and RAM on board, the disk was a size of a toaster.. LoL..

[@patrickoliver2643]

loved it

[@mangocado]

Back in my childhood 😂😍

[@MauR1CEnl]

This was the first game I ever played. ❤

[@cartgp1]

I passed out watching this, due to overdose of nostalgia.

[@anthonyatang482]

How can I forget that intro and the music

[@Senortodoelmundo]

One of the first games for me aswell. I remember that you could put rear tyres to the front, which was kinda funny.

[@eloipires5214]

Jogo sensacional!!! Arrebentava em Imola!!!

[@busya37]

Big Big Big memorisesssss

[@Tyresome]

Grew up on this game! Pretty sure I learnt a tiny bit of how to drive from this!

[@TheTimmehhh]

I'm gonna set the music as my ringtone :P Totally retro haha

[@JJWBHUFUGP]

Oh man i miss this game..

[@paukrus]

Nice sound

[@scottl.1568]

Sweet 👍

[@gilesguimbarde9305]

The brings back memories.

[@gilesguimbarde9305]

This*

[@josalm9909]

Putz boas recordações.

[@Naykbasharassad]

After 25 years, I, out of nowhere, remembered this game. I searched for it, and found it. The sound is still familiar. I won the Monaco race in 59 seconds. I used to brag about it. I was 14, now 39. For God's sake, bring back 1994!.

[@bim5150]

Same here, Monaco had to be played with Ferrari. Also I ran Monza in under 1:10... Ive been so proud

[@zakiwahranii6347]

this game remind me of beautiful old days 😪😪

[@homesweetplanet]

By 1993, I was the top 10 for every race track and the championship. XD As a woman, very few people know this game was my major start as a gamer.

[@anniet5571]

I don't remember the sound being this annoying when I was a child.

[@Palmroxx]

It's a bit softer and less rough on a real old computer, DOSBox (the emulator) is really bad at mimicking the sound. You need a special version of it to make it sound better.

[@kernelist1]

way back then it was sound of excitement

[@Tintop]

my first racing game .. yay

[@bgdnop]

i remember that i've tryed to go to that mountains, after 30 minutes i was exactly in the same position and the road was jost on 50 metres from me. lol

[@wiewiorpl]

i must cover this theme with my band... i was playing this on my first PC (286) that was great time :D

[@sluxi]

I think the simple theme tune is an actual great use of the pc speaker.

[@seerealsummers]

1st played this on a DOS Computer together with Pole Position 1 and 2 back in 1992 when i was just in 1st grade..

[@alfredosweeto]

Grandes recuerdos recuerdo cuando lo jugaba en un PC 286

[@B9zm3g]

This game is BOSS, when I was a kid we played it for hours (even still back in 1993) I know it sounds crappy, looks crappy but still one of my top favorites next to Nebulus and the original Sokoban

[@supersocks123]

gotta love them 12 bar blues

[@offrails]

I remember playing this with my brothers on an Amstrad PC1512 with stunning CGA graphics, but I do wonder how much those sound effects annoyed the parents.

[@DrSlash-xo1km]

Эээээх, ностальгия

[@lerizmor5858]

omg, played this game as a kid, i was so bad at it, hahah.

[@dinkymonster]

god i loved that game!!!

[@Jal1mal]

idd kill for that soundtrack xl !!!

[@gabutmisteri]

I played this one and so Moonbugs on my dad's work computer... that's the early of 90's...

[@MadKingJorge]

The girl in the yellow mirror shades: seared into my memory.

[@noizycat]

Even better in VGA mode. ;)

[@querpmuerp]

thanks

[@father042]

We had this on our school PCs lol

[@AchtungBaby77]

Always used to get a kick out of blowing the engine and seeing the rear view mirrors fill up with smoke 🤣✌️

[@SURF4LIFE84]

Im crying...

[@antoinebuisson2592]

que de vieux souvenirs..

[@stephenbatchelor1271]

The good old days days.

[@panameadeplm]

This game almost killed my gaming addiction.

[@psychepeteschannel5500]

Back in the good ol days, when F1 raced on a striped middle line, with spectators watching from infinite unreachable distance and the world still being a plain green surface of no features... :D

[@belthasardk]

My childhood :(
