/vr/ - Retro Games

Went back to Taito Grand Prix (Famicom) and managed to beat it and get the bitch. Reason why I was struggling so much is that I wasn't using the right vehicule parts.

The thing is there is very little info about this game online, not even a longplay, and strategywiki is giving wrong info. It says you go slower when using the Automatic transmission upgrade except you actually go 20km/h faster with it. That and there are two types of end game turbos of the same price, one being better than the other.
So I was going at 400 km/h rather than 440, which is why it was impossible.

So I managed to finish the Outrun style courses (minus 1, the hardest one, which you don't have to beat) and then the end game F1 challenge was really easy in comparison. And funnily enough the F1 only goes up to 395 km/h.

Now, I am really not sure if I want to subject myself to finishing Formlua One - Built to Win as well (the copy cat of this game on NES) since the other cars during the F1 races are so scummy in that one
