  • Psygnosis F1 compared with Grand Prix 2 and Power F1 1997-06-02 · 34 posts
    Posters compared Psygnosis's Formula 1 PC with Grand Prix 2 and Power F1. Most rated GP2 far superior as a sim and Power F1 better as an arcade game, though F1 had accurate tracks, banking, Murray Walker commentary and 3D card support. GP2's poor SVGA frame rates and lack of 3D support were debated at length, and some wished Papyrus would make a modern F1 sim.
