Game Review

Formula 1 Masters is a Formula One managerial sim created by Amivision and published by ESP Software in 1994 for the Amiga.

Today we would define it as an indie game since it was created by two people only: Stephen Rennocks (concept and programming) and Nick Stephens (graphics). The game was built in AMOS BASIC, an easy-to-use programming language designed to develop games.

Formula One Masters is a low-budget game but is an attractive sim for motor racing fans, especially the ones with some nostalgia for the Grand Prix of the '90s.

Starting the game, you will be asked to choose your team, buy the first engine, and hire your pilots; then, the season will begin. Being a pure managerial, you won't be able to drive a car; you will watch the races from the paddock. Before the Grand Prix, you can check the weather forecast and choose the tires and the asset. Then, lap after lap, you will see what happens in the big chart. The news ticker will inform you about all the events: incidents, engine breaks, weather changes, and so on.

The only missing piece is the pit stop: managing refuels and changing tires would have been nice. Despite this, if you like Formula 1, and you still miss the good old times of Nigel Mansell, Alboreto, Berger, Patrese, Herbert, and Prost, you will like this game.

An enhanced version of Formula 1 Masters was released in 2001 (not made by the same author), including many more features. We will publish it soon.

Please note: to bypass the copy protection, enter the word "hellfire".
