This was given decent reviews and was highly-rated on WOS, and it does look like a nice game and a proper racing simulator, but that's its problem for me as I cannot get on with this at all. I cannot race without constantly spinning and it is the same no matter what I do. Too many times I have wanted to try it and see if I can succeed with it and too many times I have failed and lost interest. It does have the look of a racing simulator die-hard racing fans need, but it's just too complex to be taken seriously, at least for me it is.

Excellent F1 simulator by the same guy who converted Ms. Pac-Man and wrote The Fury to the spectrum, which are two of my favorite spectrum games. He also converted the offical Pac-Man, which isa lot inferior to Ms. Pac-Man.
N.M.G.P. is a very realistic and accurate simulator, although not the prettiest, I particularly don't like the way the screen is divided in half, the racing screen should be bigger and the driving wheel should immerse itself with the race instead of looking like a joystick of an arcade machine. I specially like the rearview mirror effect, which is by itself a usefull add but also very well done and realistic. The car is not easy to control initially but once you get the hang of it, it is a pleasure, a bit like Full Throttle.
This is one of the best Formula One racing simulators around. Nigel Mansell never reached the status of Hamilton but was a bloody good driver, well deserving of naming this game.
