AMS2 - Screenshots

This I think is a Geoff Crammond Formula One game
The music is a cheap synth version of the theme used at the beginning of (at least in Britain) F1 broadcasts at the time. This is the racing game my Dad had when i was like, 4, and i remember not liking it because it was too hard. It was considered insanely realistic, and was designed by Geoff Crammond (and others, I assume). He went on to build a brand around his name, GP4 is considered the pinnacle I believe. The amazing thing is that this game (GP1) had all the then relevant tracks for the formula 1 season- many of these are now "historical" tracks available in AMS2!

 

Man, I loved that game. Got it in 1991 for the Amiga 500 when I was 11 years old and was totally blown away. My first sim so to speak. It's a milestone for this genre. Later I got it also for my first PC and was overwhelmed by 25 fps (instead of the slideshow on the Amiga).

Just look how far we've come.
