F1 Super License: Nakajima Satoru (中嶋悟監修Ｆ１スーパーライセンス, F1 Super License: Nakajima Satoru^?)^[2] is a 1992 Sega Mega Drive that allows for either single season or exhibition modes of play. The object is acquire the championship for the 1992 Formula One season. Players can choose from more than a dozen teams and more than 20 drivers as the overhead perspective of the game challenges even the most skilled driver. Every race has five (5) laps for qualifying, practice, and the actual race itself. It is not possible for races to go for either less or more than 5 laps.

Satoru Nakajima endorsed the game but he does not appear in it due to licensing issues. Unlike most Formula One video games, the player must qualify for a race in order to compete. Failing to meet a target time means not being able to race (and ending up with an automatic score of 0 points for that particular race). At the end of the season (16 races), Satoru Nakajima appears to assess the player's driving skills.
