Super Monaco GP is a first-person perspective racing game that lets you race other cars around the famous Monaco Grand Prix course. You first must qualify for a position on the grid by driving round a shortened version of the course on your own. The faster you drive, the higher placing on the grid.
The actual race has you competing against 19 other drivers and as well as trying to beat them all, you must get to checkpoints within a time limit or it is over. You also have to stay ahead of a certain position which starts at 20th and gets lower the longer the race goes on.
The game features a career mode that was not present in the Sega Game Gear version. In this mode, your goal is to win a season of races. You start with a relatively slow car and by challenging other drivers, you can move to a better team and car, and ultimately win the F1 World Title. The famous Monaco course is joined by others from around the world, adding to the game's replay value.
Super Monaco GP was released for the Sega Game Gear in 1991 and is classified as a Racing game.
