== Controversy == In 1990, [[Altria Group|Philip Morris]], the [[tobacco]] [[conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]], filed a lawsuit claiming [[copyright infringement]] against Namco, [[Atari Games]] (the ''Final Lap'' distributor in the U.S.) and [[Sega]] on behalf of their ''[[Super Monaco GP]]'' game because both of these games featured a [[Marlboro (cigarette)|Marlboro]] billboard, which was found on the real-life Suzuka and [[Circuit de Monaco|Monaco]] tracks. Philip Morris was under investigation at the time for their role in preteen [[tobacco smoking|smoking]], and the appearance of one of their brands in [[Computer and video game|games]] aimed towards children and teens did not help their image. Namco was forced to pay a settlement and Sega had to edit their game to remove all Marlboro signs.
