Play Nigel Mansell's World Championship (Europe) Online

I picked up Nigel Mansell's World Championship on the Game Boy back in 1992, a time when portable racing games were still pretty basic. Gremlin Interactive put it out, and it was one of the more serious attempts to bring Formula 1 to the handheld. It didn't have the flash of arcade racers, but it tried to capture some realism within the limits of the hardware.

You control Mansell's car through a full season, aiming for the championship. The view is top-down, and the steering is sensitive; it demands quick, precise taps to avoid spinning out. You manage fuel and tire wear during races, which adds a strategic layer beyond just going fast. The AI drivers are aggressive and will punish mistakes, so consistency matters more than pure speed. It feels tense and demanding, especially on narrower tracks where every corner is a test of concentration.
