GP 500

Realistic motorcycle racing, whose main asset is the official license of the 500cm3 class Motorbike World Championship. The authors of "GP 500" purchased a license covering the 1998 season, so that the racers, teams and tracks are fully in line with reality. It is worth mentioning that the player is not limited to choosing one of the real drivers and can create their own character from scratch. The races are held on one of the fourteen tracks, including facilities in Japan, Great Britain, Spain, Italy and Australia.

Because the "GP 500" was created in Microprose studios, we are dealing here with an extremely realistic simulation. Like the "Formula One Grand Prix" series, the player can turn on a number of features, although the product has been clearly targeted at more experienced people. For the first time in the "GP 500" it is also necessary to use the brakes (front/rear) separately. There are two basic modes to choose from - Arcade and Simulation - but even in the first one you should be careful. Above all, the few facilitations include cornering assistance, so that the risk of falling off the machine is minimal. The player can choose between three types of races: single, championship and time trial.
