Angel Nieto, Pole 500cc
Introduction by Angel Nieto -
"If you like the real world of motorcycle racing and want to experience this with your friends on a computer,
Opera Soft has got the best Moto GP simulator.
With such actual details as the true world championship.
Seeing this has made me remember my Grand Prix.
So I would advise the following:
1. It is important to know each circuit.
2. Study the racing line of each curve and the reference points for braking and acceleration.
3. Tune your bike.
4. Study your opponents well.
5. Take risks when absolutely necessary to win.
If you follow my advice. You will win!"
Instructions.
Angel Nieto Pole 500 is a simulator of the 500cc World Motorcycle Championship which faithfully reproduces
the 16 circuits in which it is held, as well as the bikes and riders running in it.
You will find options to train, tune up your bike or ride with a friend simultaneously on the screen.
With this game you can participate in a full Grand Prix season, this includes qualifying sessions for each
race, in order to earn your starting grid position.
Once you earned your place in the grid you will take part in racing and will score as do the rest of the riders.
The game will track your progress and tell you what position you are at all times, above this (top left) is
shown your starting (quali) position. (MARCHA)
Also on screen you'll be able to see your current speed, gear position, rpm counter, don't go too fast or the
race will be over for you!
Finally, look out for the track marshals who warn you of dangers that you will find, accidents or oil stains.
Before the race check the weather to choose between three types of tires that will give you optimum performance.
Contesting a G.P. pressing the return key menu means abandoning the race.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tape version has only 4 circuits.
At the practice or single race option you can only choose one of the circuits you have in memory at that time.
For disk drives you can access any circuit, they are automatically loaded.
