Power Drome

Forget about Brand's Hatch and Silverstone. In the future, Formula 1 has been replaced by the Power Drome, where high speed antics now take place with the aid of anti-grav skimmers equipped with high-power Afterburners! One of Power Drome's biggest selling points is the prospect of simultaneous two player excitement (if you're willing to link two computers together) as you speed around the solid 3D tracks.

Power Drome on all three formats isn't bad at all, but the problem that this game has resides in the unwieldy controls. You'll find your speeder speeding into the Power Drome wall for the most part, and this really spoils an otherwise brilliant game.

Amiga

The control mode's been tweaked, but Power Drome is still a tad on the unplayable side.

PC

Pretty good, but the game's control method really puts the dampeners on this one.

ST

Pretty much the same fare as the PC version. Not bad, but could be better.
