F-1 Race is a racing video game released in 1984 for the Famicom in Japan. A version was released in 1990 for the Game Boy in Japan, Europe, and North America, which included the Four Player Adapter for four player gameplay.
[edit] Gameplay
The game features racing in one of two Formula One cars around a variety of tracks near world capitals and landmarks. Gameplay is similar to that of Namco's Pole Position. Finishing in first, second, or third results in a podium finish; players must win on each track to advance to the next.
Several Nintendo characters appear at the end of race circuits: Mario, Samus, Kid Icarus, and Donkey Kong.
The game resulted in a Grand Prix series sequel, featuring Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race and Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally. Similar to the original, both games were never released outside of Japan.
[edit] Clones or hacks
F-1 Race has been cloned on many Famiclone consoles like the N-Joypad Plug and Play console. Clones of the game are listed below: (This may not a complete list.)
- Ufo Race: Cars replaced with UFOs and changed graphics and music.
- Boat Race: Cars replaced with boats and graphics are changed but sound is normal.
- Bicycle Race: Cars replaced with bicycles with all graphics and sound effects are changed.
- Car Race: The name is changed, but the rest is unchanged.
