Modern Scene
The Grand Prix modding community never stopped racing. The Sentinel has attracted fan ports and tributes. And in December 2025, MicroProse announced a collaboration with Crammond himself to bring the Grand Prix series back.
Grand Prix Modding Community
The central hub for Grand Prix 2 and Grand Prix 4 modding. Produces annual season mods updating GP4 with the current Formula 1 season - new car liveries, driver rosters, circuit updates, and physics tuning. As of 2026, the community has released consecutive annual mods for over fifteen years. Compatibility patches for modern operating systems and a resource library for setup guides are also maintained here.
Each year, community modders release an update pack for Grand Prix 4 that replaces the 2001 season data with the current Formula 1 season. Updated liveries, driver names, team orders, and track adjustments are produced for every new season. The 2025 season mod was released on schedule. These mods run on top of the patched base game and require the community compatibility patch described on the Play page.
A patched Grand Prix 4 executable that fixes compatibility issues with Windows 10/11 and modern graphics drivers. Required before installing any season mod. Addresses the DX7 graphics API issues that prevent the original binary from running on modern hardware.
BBC Micro Source Code Disassembly Projects
Mark Moxon has produced fully documented, cross-referenced source code disassemblies of three Crammond BBC Micro games: Aviator, Revs, and The Sentinel. Each disassembly is published as a navigable website with every routine explained, every variable named, and the overall architecture described in accessible prose. These represent the most complete technical documentation of Crammond's early work.
Sentinel Remakes and Fan Projects
The official sequel to The Sentinel, published by Psygnosis in 1998 for PC and PlayStation. Crammond is not credited as developer. The game uses a 3D engine appropriate to 1998 hardware and retains the core absorb-and-teleport mechanic. Reception was mixed - some players found the visual update improved the experience; others preferred the austere atmosphere of the original polygon landscapes.
The Sentinel's gameplay model has attracted multiple fan implementations across the years. HTML5, Unity, and various mobile ports have appeared; quality varies considerably. The original BBC Micro game remains the reference version for purists and is the version documented by Mark Moxon's disassembly project.
MicroProse x Crammond: Grand Prix Series Steam Release (2026)
In December 2025, the revived MicroProse label announced a collaboration with Crammond to re-release all four Grand Prix games on Steam in 2026. No release date has been confirmed as of the time of writing. The announcement was the first formal public involvement in the games industry Crammond has been associated with since Grand Prix 4 shipped in 2002.
