Monaco

About

Monaco is a retro racing game from 1983 that challenges players to master tight corners and high-speed straights on the BBC Microcomputer. You manage acceleration and braking with precision as you navigate tracks inspired by real-world circuits. The simplicity of controls contrasts with the difficulty of maintaining top times, requiring both reflexes and strategy to outpace competitors. Developed by Alligata, the game remains a relic of early 80s arcade-style racing, praised by modern retro gaming communities for its tight handling and lack of modern conveniences. While rudimentary by today’s standards, its no-frills approach to competitive driving has earned it a cult following, with some forums highlighting it as one of the BBC Micro’s most technically polished titles.
