Continental Circus is a racing arcade game Taito released in 1987, set in the world of Formula 1 and built with the sprite-scaling technique that defined pseudo-3D driving games of the era, with pit stops and a progression through circuits in different countries. It competed directly with Out Run and Chequered Flag in a market saturated with speed simulators.
It's a solid title within its category, with a good sense of handling for the era's hardware, though it was relegated behind Sega's big names in the genre. It remains a good option for anyone seeking variety within late-80s arcade racing.
