C1 Circuit...in Playstation




C1 Circuit, formerly released by Invex, was the racing game software for PlayStation. C1 represents certain code of urban highway as Shutokou in Tokyo which rotates through some several major urban area like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro and Chuo as most economically and politically busiest region in Japan. Thus, this is the game featuring the high-speed street racing such as Shutokou Battle (in US or EU, it was released as Tokyo Xtreme Racer). The product was advertised and introduced on the magazine like Car Boy which has still popularity and trusts from avid fans as semi-professional tuners and amateur mechanics before the release for PS to be so expectant and attractive for players who avidly yearned for the realistic one. 

However, this expectedly blockbuster was consequently disappointing to players profoundly because of some weird feedbacks of the vehicles and very esoteric crash descriptions which made the cars you drive unrealistically be bombastically bounced against the wall or non-player cars. Moreover, some of the glitches or lacks of corrective commands on the system was also dispiriting the users, for example, the upgrades to their own cars once reverted to intact ones and wholly lose the tuning parts you obtained eagerly through some unavoidably certain processes.  

Nevertheless or coincidentally, the debacle of software was focused on by some avid video game collectors who wanna play aforementinoed "unpleasantly severe but very unique" traits. Actually, C1 Circuit was absolutely "too-early for released and too-scurrying for realized Gran Turismo on street racing" because of some very unique features for sounds of exhausts which could be changed by the choices of some parts such as mufflers, piquant lineups of vehicles including very rare ones like AE92 Toyota Levin which was unfortunately shadowed by AE86 as symbolic sport compact model of Toyota, and very detailed and simulated circuit on the aspect of width of road and sceneries.  

Besides, the soundtracks are also uncanny but mysteriously addictive. The musical materials probably seemed to be made by some of the old DTMs or Midi systems. The variety of the tracks were not plenty. However, the tastes of composition was very quirkily unique like the melody chart from the textbook of piano which instructed how to move the fingers on the keyboard. 

It is currently not released or purveyed on online services. Hence, if you wanna purchase and boot this, you should find the used one with the consoles which can make us play.
