Super Monaco GP's burning rubber through the Sega video game circuit-coin-op, Genesis, and Master System. Next stop, the Game Gear.

Super Monaco GP is a cool portable motor racing game, even though the graphics are pretty standard stuff. Like most racing carts, you drive with a behind-your-car view, however, unlike the other Super Monaco's you don't get a rear view mirror feature.

The Brake Fast of Champions

Becoming champion is a near-grueling test of your video driving skills. Shift gears, finesse tight curves, and stomp on the accelerator! Be prepared for mucho spin outs. If you ever make it to the top, you'll understand why pros go nuts spraying around a huge bottle of champagne when they win the real thing.

The Grand Prix takes place on 16 tracks in international locales such as Brazil, Australia, England, and Japan. You get curvey road courses and flat-out speed tracks. Your challenge is to score championship points by finishing in 7th place or better.

To win you must learn to modify your racer to fit the course you're driving. You can choose from two spoilers, two types of tires, four engines, and two trannies - auto and 7-speed manual.

A Classy Chassis

The Super Monaco GP carts feature the toughest auto racing around, and this Game Gear version maintains that tradition albeit in a smaller format. Beating Super Monaco GP takes real drive.
