Taito Grand Prix

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taito Grand Prix is a Japan-only Famicom game that takes the player through randomized street racing and the various circuits of Formula One. There are over 15 stock car tracks and 8 Formula One tracks. Open mode allows the player to practice each course individually while "normal mode" forces the player to race every single course at a time until the end. In the regular car games, there is a countdown that counts to 0, and getting to 0 means game over. In the Formula One mode, however, the time counts up and this challenges player to finish a course as quickly as he can. There are three kinds of music and a blank soundtrack for people who are in the mood for "authentic driving."
