{{OtherPage|desc=the [[Sega Master System]] and [[Sega Game Gear]] versions|page=Super Monaco GP (8-bit)}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (スーパーモナコＧＰ) is a 1989 arcade racing game by [[Sega Enterprises, Ltd.]] It is the sequel to ''[[Monaco GP]]'', but rather than being a top-down racer it has a first person view. It was originally released for the [[Sega X Board]] arcade system.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
''Super Monaco GP'' is a Formula One racing game played from a first person perspective, where the objective is to race against other F1 cars around a track in an attempt to reach first place. The game lacks any official licensing from any manufacturers or drivers, though continues to take many design cues from what was happening in the sport in the late 1980s (one exception is the "Sega SG1000 V8" engine, which is named after the [[Sega SG-1000]] video game console).
 +
 
 +
Despite its name, the arcade ''Super Monaco GP'' does not feature any variant of the [[wikipedia:Circuit de Monaco|Circuit de Monaco]], (i.e. the "Monaco GP"), instead opting for an original track layout with elements ''inspired'' by the famous race course. Also, typical for the era, the game takes a more arcade-style approach, scrapping many of the rules and regulations of the sport and being far more lenient with the physics of the cars.
 +
 
 +
''[[Flicky]]'' is referenced in track advertisements, with the eponymous bird having a cameo at the end of races.

==History==
 +
===Release===
 +
Despite its outward appearance, ''Super Monaco GP'' did not acquire any Formula One-related licenses or sponsorship deals during production. Cabinet designs and marketing material greatly emphasise the orange and white stylings of team Marlboro McLaren Honda's [[wikipedia:McLaren MP4/4|McLaren MP4/4]], one of the dominant cars in Formula One during the late 1980s (driven by Ayrton Senna, who would feature in the game's successor, ''[[Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II]]''). Later releases add a touch of blue to the cabinet to create a more unique look.
  
−
The player drives a formula one car around a track inspired by the Monaco Grand Prix, and many of the car drivers and manufacturers are based on formula one drivers who were active in the late 1980s. The exception is the "Sega SG1000 V8" engine, which is named after the [[Sega SG-1000]] video game console.
+
Sega was sued by Philip Morris in the US due to the unauthorised Marlboro cigarette advertisements in the game. An initial complaint was filed when one of Philip Morris's lawyers spotted branding while visiting an arcade in November 1989. The firm demanded that Sega removed what it saw as trademark infringement immediately, citing also that it did not want to be seen advertising to minors. Sega conceded immediately and began the process of removing the advertisements from the game.
  
−
Sega was sued by Philip Morris due to the unauthorised Marlboro cigarette advertisements in the game. This was also criticised as an attempt to market cigarettes to children, as many arcade users at the time were under age. Other in-game advertisments advertise Sega's earlier arcade game ''[[Flicky]]''.
+
Co-chairman of Sega [[David Rosen]] issued a statement shortly claiming that the inclusion of "fleeting billboard parodies" was an "innocent attempt to mimic real-life locations and scenery to enhance the realism of game play"{{fileref|SuperMonacoGP US Statement 1990-01-12.png}}. It had been claimed that the in-game banners were sponsored by Philip Morris, something both companies denied. The Marlboro advertisements were also criticised by the US [[wikipedia:Federal Trade Commission|Federal Trade Commission]] as many arcade users at the time were children{{magref|ace|43|8}}
  
−
''Super Monaco CP'' was ported to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, [[Sega Game Gear]], [[Sega Master System]], [[Sega Mega Drive]] and ZX Spectrum. The Mega Drive version was highly received and offered an extra "World Championship Mode", featuring tracks from the 1989 Formula One season. This version of the game has since been included in numerous compilations.
+
Sega was not alone in plagerising cigarette companies at the time, with [[Jaleco]], [[Namco]] and [[Konami]] also featuring similar advertisements in their racing games. Sega's own ''[[Hang-On]]'' had featured "Marbor" advertisements back in 1985, with general council of Sega [[Kiichi Nishikura]] citing that the practise was legal under Japanese copyright law. Nishikura's response to anti-smoking group complaints was to pass the blame to US tobacco companies advertising on Japanese television, suggesting also that the billboards scroll by so fast that he didn't think it would have a "serious subconscious effect".
 +
 
 +
Sega completed the changes and began issuing free conversion kits in March 1990{{fileref|SuperMonacoGP US Letter ConversionKit 1990-03-15.pdf}}, plus a $200 cheque to entice arcade operators into making the change. However takeup was not good enough for Philip Morris, who sued in February 1991 when it emerged many older cabinets were still in active service. By May 1992 the two companies had reached an agreement. Sega would also distance itself from plagerising official Formula One cars and sponsors in the home ports of the game.
 +
 
 +
===Legacy===
 +
''Super Monaco GP'' was ported to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, [[Sega Mega Drive]] and ZX Spectrum.
  
 
''Super Monaco GP'' was followed by ''[[Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II]]'' which built upon the previous game.

===Mega Drive Version===
+
On the Mega Drive, ''Super Monaco GP'' is a much larger game than its arcade counterpart thanks to its highly received "World Championship Mode", in which all sixteen tracks from the 1989 Formula One season are included (albeit far less detailed than the X Board arcade version due to the limitations of the Mega Drive's hardware).
 +
 
 +
Likewise, sixteen one-driver teams are included, though as with all versions of the game, the names are fictional due to a lack of an official FIA license.
 +
 
 +
This version of the game has since been included in numerous compilations.
 +
 
 +
The Japanese release was the first Mega Drive game to be software incompatible with PAL consoles.{{magref|pcw|425|2}}
 +
 
 +
===Commodore 64 version===
 +
The Commodore 64 version of ''Super Monaco GP'' builds on the engine developers [[Probe Software]] used for their earlier C64 racing conversion of ''[[Special Criminal Investigation]]''. Programmer Grant Harrison stated that having a first person perspective actually made the game run faster, as fewer calculations were needed to draw the road ahead{{magref|zzap64|69|82}}.
 +
 
 +
Sprite limitations are a problem for the Commodore 64 version of the game, so if an opponent car gets too close to the player (and thus needs a bigger sprite), any other on-screen cars will speed up so that they are not rendered on-screen{{magref|zzap64|69|83}}.
 +
 
 +
As the team only had access to a video of the game (and Harrison had only played the arcade once), the Mega Drive version was used as a reference{{magref|zzap64|69|83}}. A cartridge version was "discussed" but never made it to market{{magref|zzap64|69|83}}.

Super Monaco GP (スーパーモナコＧＰ) is a 1989 arcade racing game by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. It is the sequel to Monaco GP, but rather than being a top-down racer it has a first person view. It was originally released for the Sega X Board arcade system.

Gameplay

Super Monaco GP is a Formula One racing game played from a first person perspective, where the objective is to race against other F1 cars around a track in an attempt to reach first place. The game lacks any official licensing from any manufacturers or drivers, though continues to take many design cues from what was happening in the sport in the late 1980s (one exception is the "Sega SG1000 V8" engine, which is named after the Sega SG-1000 video game console).

Despite its name, the arcade Super Monaco GP does not feature any variant of the Circuit de Monaco, (i.e. the "Monaco GP"), instead opting for an original track layout with elements inspired by the famous race course. Also, typical for the era, the game takes a more arcade-style approach, scrapping many of the rules and regulations of the sport and being far more lenient with the physics of the cars.

Flicky is referenced in track advertisements, with the eponymous bird having a cameo at the end of races.

History

Release

Despite its outward appearance, Super Monaco GP did not acquire any Formula One-related licenses or sponsorship deals during production. Cabinet designs and marketing material greatly emphasise the orange and white stylings of team Marlboro McLaren Honda's McLaren MP4/4, one of the dominant cars in Formula One during the late 1980s (driven by Ayrton Senna, who would feature in the game's successor, Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II). Later releases add a touch of blue to the cabinet to create a more unique look.

Sega was sued by Philip Morris in the US due to the unauthorised Marlboro cigarette advertisements in the game. An initial complaint was filed when one of Philip Morris's lawyers spotted branding while visiting an arcade in November 1989. The firm demanded that Sega removed what it saw as trademark infringement immediately, citing also that it did not want to be seen advertising to minors. Sega conceded immediately and began the process of removing the advertisements from the game.

Co-chairman of Sega David Rosen issued a statement shortly claiming that the inclusion of "fleeting billboard parodies" was an "innocent attempt to mimic real-life locations and scenery to enhance the realism of game play"[12]. It had been claimed that the in-game banners were sponsored by Philip Morris, something both companies denied. The Marlboro advertisements were also criticised by the US Federal Trade Commission as many arcade users at the time were children[13]

Sega was not alone in plagerising cigarette companies at the time, with Jaleco, Namco and Konami also featuring similar advertisements in their racing games. Sega's own Hang-On had featured "Marbor" advertisements back in 1985, with general council of Sega Kiichi Nishikura citing that the practise was legal under Japanese copyright law. Nishikura's response to anti-smoking group complaints was to pass the blame to US tobacco companies advertising on Japanese television, suggesting also that the billboards scroll by so fast that he didn't think it would have a "serious subconscious effect".

Sega completed the changes and began issuing free conversion kits in March 1990[14], plus a $200 cheque to entice arcade operators into making the change. However takeup was not good enough for Philip Morris, who sued in February 1991 when it emerged many older cabinets were still in active service. By May 1992 the two companies had reached an agreement. Sega would also distance itself from plagerising official Formula One cars and sponsors in the home ports of the game.

Legacy

Super Monaco GP was ported to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Sega Mega Drive and ZX Spectrum.

Super Monaco GP was followed by Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II which built upon the previous game.

Versions

Mega Drive version

On the Mega Drive, Super Monaco GP is a much larger game than its arcade counterpart thanks to its highly received "World Championship Mode", in which all sixteen tracks from the 1989 Formula One season are included (albeit far less detailed than the X Board arcade version due to the limitations of the Mega Drive's hardware).

Likewise, sixteen one-driver teams are included, though as with all versions of the game, the names are fictional due to a lack of an official FIA license.

This version of the game has since been included in numerous compilations.

The Japanese release was the first Mega Drive game to be software incompatible with PAL consoles.[15]

Commodore 64 version

The Commodore 64 version of Super Monaco GP builds on the engine developers Probe Software used for their earlier C64 racing conversion of Special Criminal Investigation. Programmer Grant Harrison stated that having a first person perspective actually made the game run faster, as fewer calculations were needed to draw the road ahead[16].

Sprite limitations are a problem for the Commodore 64 version of the game, so if an opponent car gets too close to the player (and thus needs a bigger sprite), any other on-screen cars will speed up so that they are not rendered on-screen[17].

As the team only had access to a video of the game (and Harrison had only played the arcade once), the Mega Drive version was used as a reference[17]. A cartridge version was "discussed" but never made it to market[17].
