Grand Prix Circuit (PC/DOS) 1988, Accolade ,DSI

[@bcptbcpt]

My aunt had both this game and the original MS-DOS Prince of Persia installed in her computer and I played both obsessively when I visited her. So many memories!

[@maxmouche]

Same! Had Prince of Persia also. Found it so bloody hard lol. Mind you I was 7 at the time...

[@nomad8901]

I was playing this game along side with Prince of Persia 1-2, Dangerous Dave and Pac Man in 90's. Great memories!

[@brabius]

Me too!! My fave games. Though there was accolade for motorbikes also

[@RF23232]

I'm 36. PoP was so damn hard. 🤣 And I was so scared of the skeleton.

[@charilaospapamikroulis7855]

How is it going with the epilepsy?

[@searchthetruth1981]

Isn t it un be lie va ble! Im 37 years now and i still had That tune of the choosing menu in my head! I just could not get it out!

[@bcptbcpt]

Same here, 36 years old and this tune was alive and well in my brain despite I hadn't heard it since playing this game back in the late 80s at my aunt's house!

[@DrumApe]

Same here man, that tune stuck in my head for 3 decades, amazing! I'm 37 too lol

[@Neoclaw]

Same, im 34

[@HectorSantiMx]

Yeah, unforgettable. 38 by the way.

[@maicol86p]

It a similar to "u got 2 let the music"

[@CarlosRicciardi726]

My childhood in this 7 minutes!! Great game!

[@pavel_endrle]

You can go straight in the first chicane in Monza qualification ;) All the best memories.

[@patriciogarces6007]

Travis Daye and Bruno Gourdo... what a rivals...

[@Miyamototakezo]

Tse Sakamoto, on the other hand…

[@joshmg25]

@@Miyamototakezo Nigel Levins wasn’t very good either. I beat him and Tse the first time I didn’t get last place.

[@Miyamototakezo]

@@joshmg25 true! 🤣They would be Nicholas Latifi and Nico Hulkenberg by 2022 standards

[@kg0173]

Travis Daye was like Ayrton Senna and Bruno Gourdo like Alain Prost. Nigel Levins was Nigel Mansell.

[@conflictica1983]

Travis was also good in superbikes, if i remember correctly, so talented , that mr Daye ;-)

[@chocolateabi]

Bruh this is the first car game I ever played😭😭😭I've been looking for this for years😭😭😭😭 I'M LITERALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW😭😭😭😭

[@badsosen3601]

I feel You, bruva ❤

[@igorzhovtaniuk356]

Same for me

[@youreshouldoflearntgrammer8277]

You are actually crying? 😂

[@davidsucesso2419]

i got 33 years old and this was my first game. remenbered the intro ( that DSI effect square was so cool to see when i was 6 or 7 on my 386) and finaly menu sound 😂😂😂

[@danfors1333]

0:44 Great I've been looking for that piece of music forever! Knew I've heard it from my childhood:)

[@jonnmostovoy2406]

Same!

[@Heffsta02]

I remember playing this as a kid, and imagined what the world beyond the horizon looked like.

[@Vestu]

Damn! :D I did the exact same thing. In this game and in a few others. I imagined the world beyond the horizon, usually with some hills, mountains and blue skies. It was Mono no aware for single-digit aged me.

[@qanadaheadlongs2618]

When I played this Travis Daye was my rival Nr. 1

[@STRAIGHTP]

Wow. Its amazing how just seeing some pixels can trigger my childhood memories of playing this game so often. ACCOLADE had the best racing games

[@alexitosrv]

I played this using an amber monochrome monitor, and I searched for this game for ages!!! Thx! Also Monza was the only one where I beat the computer easily.

[@DrumApe]

Amazing game, so many memories - it was my first experience with racing ever. Thanks for uploading this.

[@RomNYC]

Wayyy too many hours playing this, and clearly not enough hours doing homework 😂What a time to be alive!

[@Niphrentil]

Used to play this game on a monochromatic monitor.... Still this is how I remember playing this game back then!

[@badsosen3601]

And Hercules graphic card :)))

[@maxb1401]

Thanks for posting, brings back memories on my first 286 PC :D

[@DVAFP]

I played this so much that sometimes I’d hear the sound of the engine when the computer was off.

[@TheRetroRaven]

That tune! This , together with Test Driver II was my favourite games as a kid. I spend countless hours playing this. Unfortunately there was no support for Adlib or SoundBlaster - unlike Cycles, also by Accolade.

[@BarryChapman]

test drive 3 was one of my favorites. ultra addictive yet ultra lame

[@kpetrov2011]

Early 90s I have played this game on my Pravetz 16 PC. So good memories.

[@mradiesatria]

My late father introduced this game to me back in 1990. good things never change, thanks for the memories. Love u dad 😇

[@eswube]

So many memories. Initially I had version with CGA graphics only and it was great relief when I could switch to colour one.

[@Vortal_Cord]

I have no idea what PC I managed to got my hands on but when I played this it ran at even worse FPS and was in black and yellow for some reason. Good memories. That game was a ton of fun for 9 year old me.

[@racingfan787b2]

3:20 aw yeea listen to that V6!

[@wraith5998]

So nostalgic that it hurts

[@FAKOR_]

I love this beep sound❤

[@atagkr]

Used to play this on a 286 pc with a black and white monitor. Good old days..

[@vibovitold]

same! and i've never been as immersed in a game (this one plus a few others from that generation) since

[@martincoufalik9101]

Even as little kid, i already hated automatic transmission thanks to this game. Tons of memories with this one. Soundtrack is awesome for monotone tune.

[@jgagnier]

Memory can be a fickle thing. I remember playing this as a kid, and not having to brake in the chicanes. Turns out, it wasn't my memory failing :D

[@Bennyboy1985]

I wish they'd made all 16 1988 Championship circuits playable for this game. Having a few more cars you could drive would've been great as well- even if that only included the Lotus 99/T, Benetton B188 and Arrows A10B, as all these cars were better than the Williams-Judd that year!

[@indrocahyono7074]

I remember playing this game in 1992/1993. We had only monochrome computer monitor. So only now that I learned the Williams car was actually yellow and blue 😂

[@jeremygovender]

omg soundtrack is soooooooo good

[@walterdv13]

one of my favorite game!

[@miguelangelreyesdiaz6380]

Fun Fact: Distinctive Software was bought by electronic arts and renamed it as Ea Canada,now i understand that some folks that have designed this,even helped to develop NFSMW and NFSC

[@davidmagawa7822]

Sweet memories

[@robertocamilo2191]

Saudades tempo 1998 quando joguei o Grand Prix Acolade

[@nequals151]

I think I played this! That red dot on the steering wheel is very familiar.

[@Eastlygod]

I still have nightmares of getting around the Canadian hairpin to this day

[@ivanyunakov8154]

I really liked this game!

[@adelbenaida5597]

was the only game i could play in late 90

[@helmutloidts5126]

Back in the days, my father got the game from one of his colleagues at work. He told him that he put my father's initials on the side of the car of the Williams team (JP). I finally got proof of the spoof. 😄

[@Autotrope]

First racing game I played. But I had it on Hercules graphics!

[@FabryMercury]

Damn Bruno Gourdo!

[@pedronabais8442]

Good Times

[@EspireMike]

the first PC game i ever played!

[@danzeel]

Grand Prix and then Stunt, and later micro machines, not racer, scorcher was my fav racer games

[@tricesimo]

Ah, GPC's Monza... only 2 braking zones!

[@douglasmacarthur8482]

Is there any advantage for the Ferrari car? It seems to be the slowest one.

[@favs970]

Good trail breaking

[@wheypro11]

I played this when I was 7. This is the OG of racing games!

[@samuelkovanko7198]

The first driving game i played in the early 90s…

[@cliffjumper81]

I had this game but he graphics were purple.

[@RaterisimoCBA]

Played this in 1990 on a 286 I was 4 years old !

[@allanquality333]

2024 nostalgia

[@theopot5798]

my first racer ever..i was like 8... choosing the ferrari cause it was much easier to handle but poor top speed... 34 now :P

[@indrocahyono7074]

Of the other drivers, I can only remember Bruno Gourdo 😅

[@Kr0nicDragon]

Back when “pc speaker sound” was an option

[@TrueZetaThunderBenditions]

bendiciones audio libro

[@maxmouche]

Ruthless driving - I wanted to see the back of one of the other cars, that's usually where I was ;p (age 7)

[@Vestu]

I'm still try-hardin' this game in 2023, owning Cal Tyrone's ass. I started in 1987 as a 3-year old. Cal's never gonna beat me!

[@Vestu]

Not even Don Matrelli for that matter...

[@Brov84]

Il mio primo gioco di F1

[@masterela]

My best time in Monza was 1'14''xx qualifications :-)

[@doctorf7501]

Is Monza a divided road?

[@maxb1401]

No, its just the game overlapped with Test Drive and they already had the road render with a divided road, so probably ported it over instead of forming a whole new code for just the road layout. My opinion.

[@AdrianInflorida]

If only the first chicane at Monza in iRacing was like this version, then again, that's where I make up my freebies. And shout-out for Detroit, I went to every F1 race in Detroit as a kid, I think this is the only game to ever have the Detroit circuit in it (at least officially)

[@SteveGonzalesValdiglesias]

Epic game and memories ^_^

[@nomad8901]

If you stop at Pit Stop, then your tire is exchanged with new one. Your car health is back normal.

[@badsosen3601]

Didnt know what pitstop is back then :)

[@alescorpios]

[@samfer9946]

Trop dur de battre Don Matrelli et Travis Daye 🤣👍

[@user-develoviper]

WOW! I NEED 33456 SPEED!

[@TheRealD4]

Ok in the late 90s I was given a late 80s Amstrad PC that had this game installed. But I always remember after a short while or maybe intermittently the steering would get stuck on full lock, and I'd have to restart the game :/ All these years later I just wondered if any of you retro gaming fans would know what may have caused this to happen!!

[@davidsucesso2419]

Never happened to me... using a 33 mhz wang computer at the time. 386 cpu

[@GeeTee_]

Sounds like a sticky key on the keyboard.
