F1 Grand Prix Theme - Microprose



With the F1 season rapidly approaching (and the stupid "most wins" system on hold, for a least one year), I went on eBay and bought Grand Prix 4, the fourth installment in a series of games I've been playing since the mid-1990s.

The first of these was released back in 1992 (based on the 1991 season), and featured a slightly-modified rendition of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.

Here it is, in all its retro glory!

She sounds about 12, but this is a cool song.

I was disappointed with A7X live, they didn't live up to my high expectations.
