It's… the monthly side excursion over to Game Boy Works in this slightly early posting. I don't really have a lot to say about this topic, unfortunately. F1 racing isn't really my bag…

SunSoft Grand Prix retrospective: Formulaic one | Game Boy Works #091

SunSoft gives Europe an unremarkable but perfectly decent adaptation of formula one racing… roughly two months before Nintendo releases its own revolutionary take on the sport.

This might be the first Works video for a game I had never seen, heard of, or read about anywhere at all. I always enjoy learning something new in your series!

Interesting that Ocean's name is on this. It was pretty much the biggest publisher of games on the British 8-bit and 16-bit computers. Like a lot of UK software houses, it just couldn't transfer that domination to the massive worldwide market of the consoles with too much success. The price of entry was so much higher and the competition a lot more fierce.

I wondered about that (and Infogrames's name on the back of the box). The best I can figure is that SunSoft worked with them for distribution in the U.K. and Europe.
