Description

"Formula 1 Sensation," also known simply as "F-1 Sensation," is a racing game developed and published by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Released in 1992, the game is based on the 1992 Formula One season, featuring all of the real F1 teams and drivers from that year, which is a rarity in video games of this era due to licensing restrictions. Players get the opportunity to compete in the entire 1992 F1 championship, racing on accurately represented versions of the actual Grand Prix circuits.

The gameplay in "Formula 1 Sensation" involves both racing and team management aspects, offering a comprehensive F1 experience. Players must not only excel in driving, with considerations for racing lines and car handling that require skill and practice to master, but also manage their team's development and strategy, including pit stops and technical adjustments. This adds a layer of depth uncommon in many racing games from the early 90s, making it a standout title for simulation enthusiasts. The game is noted for its advanced graphics and sound capabilities for the time, capturing the high-speed excitement of Formula One racing in a way that was innovative for home console gaming. Despite being primarily released in Japan and Europe, its detailed approach to Formula One racing has garnered a dedicated following among classic game collectors and racing fans worldwide.
