[Amstrad Cpc] Continental Circus Longplay part 1/2

(Virgin, 1989)

This game was supposed to be called Continental Circuits, but someone misheard the name and it ended up as Continental Circus instead - never mind. The game sees you racing on eight Grand Prix tracks around the globe with 99 other cars, and you start last. To go to the next stage, you must complete a lap of the circuit within the time limit and reach a certain position. If you crash into other cars, you'll have to go to the pits and get your car repaired, but if you leave it too long, your engine will catch fire! Everything - the graphics, sound and music - is excellent, and it's one of the best racing games on the CPC.

Actually the term "Circus" is accurate, once it's a Formula One game and such term is commonly attributed to Formula One (like a "motorsport circus", a traveling spectacle).

Looks like another Spectrum port but with more colour. Looks similar to the Arcade version actually! I'm impressed!

2 things annoy about this game..... all teh cars are yellow and there is no in game music option..... other than that its fast, smooth, challenging and seeing the car catch fire is sooo cool
