Nigel Mansell's World Championship

Gremlin had a lucky hand with this licensed Formula 1 simulation, as Nigel's long quest for a championship had finally come true. The game was somewhere between a full-fledged simulation like F1 GP and action games like Continental Circus. Only 12 cars participated in each race, which could last between 3 and 20 laps. Before each race, you could adjust the downforce of the wings, gear ratio, tire choice, and fuel level - pit stops were standard in the longer races. The 16-bit versions include a unique "Improve With Mansell" mode, in which a digitized version of Nigel's head appears in the top corner of the screen, offering instructions and praise.
