I remember playing this at a friends house when I was 10 and being blown away that Murray Walker, the guy I'd listen to on the TV, would actually commentate what you were doing in game, It was mind blowing at the time!

    In my family, "You're right there Murray", is a running joke to this day.. Good to see we're not alone!
  • @jjw8885
    The name of Jacques Villeneuve is missing due to copyright issues, so Murray just refers to him as 'The Canadian' throughout the entire game!!

    ''Your right there Murray''. That used to haunt my childhood! Still got it on PlayStation
  • @HighPlainsBifter
    “He’s hit the Canadian!” “He’s been disqualified from the 97 season!” “What a Disaster!” “You’re right there Murray…”
  • "Oh no! The car is rolling and crashed into the barrier with 300mph!" You're right there Murray
  • Murray bless his heart took the time to record every possible eventuality. Not to mention the devs themselves for writing the code that did it so seamlessly and quick.
  • @elbowsout6301
    Murray Walker...F1's greatest talker. "And it's go go go!!!" "Anything can happen in formula 1and it usually does". RIP Murray.
  • @virtuemarcus
    The 96' F1 game had already featured Murray's sensational commentary. His high pitched voice is as missed these days as the high pitched V10 engines.
  • @arnienz1962
    The commentary when changing gears is actually really good
  • @AD-df5tm
    Me and my brother still quote this game to this day. "IT'S HERBERT!"
