セガより登場したモナコのモンテカルロ市街地コースをモデルとしたコースを舞台に、繰り広げる擬似3Dレーシングゲーム。内容は予選、決勝、ウェットレースと進み、決勝とウェットレースではポジションリミット制となる。操作方法に当時F1で登場したバタフライシフトを採用、DX筐体ではシートがゲームと連動するムービングシートやコーナーでのハンドルに負荷がかかる等、これまでに無かった新たな試みが多く見られ、ゲーム内容も含め非常に完成度の高い作品となっている。ちなみに、初期に出回ったものにはゲーム中「マールボロ」の広告が出てくるが、フィリップ・モリス社に無断で使用したとして基板の回収、改良版のリリースを経て、多額のロイヤリティーがフィリップ・モリス社に支払われている。

Super Monaco GP [2-Player Sit-Down model] (c) 1989 Sega Enterprises, Ltd.

A superb Formula One racing game from Sega that took sprite-scaled graphics to a whole new level. The game's single track offered a very reasonable representation of the famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit.

Players could chose to race with one of three different skill/gear settings :
Beginner : Automatic Gears
Intermediate : 4-Speed Manual gears
Professional : 7-Speed Manual Gears

Before entering the Grand Prix, a qualification lap had to be completed. In the event of qualifying, the qualifying time determined the player's position on the starting grid. During the race itself, checkpoints had to be reached within a set time, or the race was over.
