Konami Grand Prix Slot Machine



Not sure but I remember having read something about it a while ago..

I think it was about a year ago that I read something about it. The page I found then even included the info about the competitions that started on 9pm every wedensday and all. I'm almost positive the page was in English, but it /might/ have been in Dutch. I just can't stand the fact that now I can't find that page anymore; guess it has been taken down since then

The D1GP single seat arcade machine is a drift racing game which reproduces the drift championship D1 grand prix series. It is unlike many other racers, as the focus is not on the ranking and speed of the player, but rather how many drift points a player can acquire.

If I had known then that almost nobody knew about this game I would have linked/copied/mentioned it. Oh well, at least now everybody knows..

>>Not sure but I remember having read something about it a while ago.. (in Spanish)<<

Yes, I'm sure I read something about it about a year ago (maybe more). I think it was in HispaMSX but I had a (quick) look yesterday and didn't find anything there. I remember there was a link to a web page with two pictures, at least: being one of them the one with the main title.I think you guys mean this page?

I think you guys mean this page?

Yes, I think so: two pictures, Spanish, .. I think this is the one I read. Thanks.

Here's an article from MILC where the game is mentioned too: www.mccm.aktu.nl/millennium/milc/gc/topic_3.htm

One of the problems with that article is that it claims that Snatcher has a 16 channel SCC
Mr. Labruyere wasn't one of the most trustworthy persons in the MSX scene

Online casino game benefits official site. In this case he was telling the truth, but it's hard to filter that out of the rest of the article which is mostly BS and hearsay.

Lol

But.. I'm searching for some hours now and saw more japanese text then I'd wish to do and no download found yet

I wanna play this game like a madman

These network games will (with high probability) be totally unplayable without the network cartridge.
So unless you enjoy watching title screens, there's nothing interesting there..

Ofcourse someone might hack it Or openMSX might emulate the cartridge, and perhaps make it internet linkable .. heheh, just dreaming

Well first the game and then I'll check if I really need the NGA of Links

There is no ROM for this cartridge.. Zeus 2 free slots. Here's the link to the thread on generation-msx that solve this mistery a long time ago:

Hope this clears the situation..

Today, Gigamix Online.com features an article on A1 Grand Prix, one of the lesser known Konami MSX productions. All Konami fans who do not know this game should have a look at the pictures published on the Gigamix site.

A1 Grand Prix was written for use with the Links network. The Links network has long gone, but judging from the pictures, I guess the game can only be run with a network adapter in one of the MSX slots. Fortunately, these adapters are quite common in Japan, and can be obtained for next to nothing nowadays.

I also thought I'd share the info on the Gigamix page with you as it is quite entertaining:

(First some talk about next year's A1 Grand Prix in Dubai-not MSX related)
These photos show the Japanese A1 Grand Prix held by The Links in 1987. This software actually was made by Konami. Every Wednesday at 9 pm, a racing round started. Winner was the person who reached the goal most quickly.

An infrastructure as we have nowadays was not available back then. Therefore, you had to download the track data, after which you played the game offline. After finishing the track, you had to connect to the host yourself and pick up the new data. This process had to be repeated again and again.. How nostalgic.

Since you had to dail yourself, a telephone line using tones was advantageous over a line using pulses. Likewise, the R800 mode was preferable over the Z80 mode, as the screen processing inside the Links software becomes faster using a R800. (Note that the game speed itself does not alter in R800 mode). In the closing days of The Links, you had to have a MSX turbo R+telephone line with tones+a telephone with a redial function in order to win a race LOL! .

The game is an original based on Road Fighter. No deposit sign up bonus for casino extreme 2019 2020. There are many resemblances between the two games: when you collide with another car you have to countersteer to recover, your fuel decreases when you crash, game over when you run out of gas. However, whenever you pass a car, you receive 200 dollars. A race consists of overtaking cars and collecting money, tuning up your car by buying optional parts, and buying gasoline in order to restore your fuel supply. You can enjoy thrilling developments which aren't limited simply to car racing: you can't enjoy BGM unless you buy a car stereo; you can't avoid the speed control unless you have a radar (you get fined when caugt speeding). It is a true Konami: no complaints about the game system, graphics or music. Even nowadays, the game is fun.

This Sunday, A1 Grand Prix will be shown at the Southern Kanto MSX Users Meeting. You can also play the game, so I already made my plans for this Sunday 8)
