Namco Driver's Eyes is a first-person Formula One simulator on the namco system 21 hardware released in 1990. The game has a pseudo-panoramic view using three C.R.T. screens; the player would sit in a then realistic formula one car cockpit with L.C.D. instruments. The game starts with the player selecting either "easy drive" or "technical drive" (this is an explanation of what happens after the player has made his/her selection) when selection was made the screen would show a 3d model of a formula one car with a V8 engine being placed into the engine bay then the body work gliding down. As this happens the camera view changes and reveals a sign saying "BRAKES ON" when the sign is lifted the race starts.
