Sito Pons 500cc Grand Prix is a 1990 racing video game developed and published by the Spanish company Zigurat Software (previously known as Made in Spain) for Amstrad CPC, MS-DOS, MSX and ZX Spectrum.
Race is the main championship mode where players are pitted against AI-controlled opponents such as Kevin Schwantz and Wayne Rainey to qualify.
[2][5] Sito Pons 500cc Grand Prix was created in conjunction with Carlos Sainz: World Rally Championship at the end of the golden age of Spanish software by Zigurat Software (previously Made in Spain), whose team worked on previous licensed sports titles such as Paris-Dakar (1988) and Emilio Sanchez Vicario Grand Slam (featuring former Spanish tennis player Emilio Sánchez).
[4][9][10][11][12] Sito Pons shares the same isometric perspective as Carlos Sainz: World Rally, but Zigurat placed more emphasis into AI for the opposing racers.
[11] Sito Pons 500cc Grand Prix was published exclusively in Spain by Zigurat Software for Amstrad CPC, MS-DOS, MSX and ZX Spectrum in 1990.
[16][17] Spanish magazine MicroHobby reviewed the ZX Spectrum version, praising the realism, sense of speed, television broadcast-style perspective, colorful graphics and addictive playability, describing it as a "neatly carried out" game.
[1] In a retrospective outlook, IGN Spain's Víctor Ayora regarded Sito Pons 500cc as one of the best games released on 8-bit computers.
