Cyber Spin is a futuristic racing game released in 1992 by Takara, developed by Arc System. I'm counting this as a Formula 1 game since it's basically F1 cars but with a cyber spin to them (hehehe). It was known in Japan as "Shinseiki GPX: Cyber Formula" and it plays really fast, and has you locked in, focused and soon forgetting all time and space around you as you dash towards the finish line.

The Grand Prix takes you to tracks around the globe, all with different charming designs to them paying homage to that particular country, as well as a really great soundtrack accompanying it all. There's other opponents racing on the tracks against you but they mostly put up a challenge in the sense of getting in your way. I like them though, as they give a much needed break for your eyes...just something to look at that goes the same high speeds as you.

I had never heard of this game before but if I came across it as a young SNES gamer I would definitely be happy with it and there's plenty of replay value I think, with the levels being so different and fun. You can speed run tracks and aim for personal bests if that's your thing or just enjoy the music and intense action at your own leisure.

Now, I'm just gonna enjoy the result.
