F1 is a racing game released for the Sega Game Gear, developed by Teque and published by Domark.

Teque also made Kawasaki Superbike Challenge, James Pond 3: Operation Starfish and Gear Works for the Game Gear.

F1 supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the Game Gear hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a story or exploration rather than laps

What playing F1 is like

Racing games range from realistic driving to kart racers with weapons and shortcuts. Races are short, making them great for quick sessions and split-screen rivalries.

Tip for newcomers: Learn each track's racing line and braking points; in kart racers, item strategy matters as much as driving.
