I'd have to agree that there are now alot of games and sims that are
technically superior to GPL, with more realistic graphics and/or physics.
That's 4 years progress for you.

I bought NR2002 and SCGT basically on the strength of opinions on this
newsgroup, and I'll probably buy F12001/2 too, for the same reason. If
people didn't give their opinions, I probably never would have given NR2002
a second glance. I'm not a NASCAR fan, I'm afraid ;-)

Hehe, people i know sleeps with the window open when -15 C outside. Nutters.

I installed a mosquito net on my window. Most sensible thing i've done
since putting my Philips WS 32" on my interior budget instead of toy
budget ;)

I just *hate* waking up by the sound of a big angry wasp in my room.

> people *enjoy* playing football?????

In my school there were two types of guys:

1. Chaps that liked playing football/soccer.

2. Fat wheezy boys that stood on the side of the pitch clutching an
'excuse me' note form their mothers.

Side note: My nephew went to a public boarding school, AND he says that
the guys who hated footie were also the ones that wet the bed!

So IMO if you don't like playing footie, then your a lard arsed, bed
wetter! ;)

And while you guys were playing "footie", I was out back making time
with your girl.  :-)

Hmm...

from http://4x4evo.godgames.com/

"Terminal Reality proudly presents 4x4 Evolution, an arcade-style, 4x4
off-road simulation for the PC, Mac and Sega DreamcastT. 4x4 Evolution puts

I see your point ;-)

Only people who don't sit at their computers all day criticising football on
an auto simulator newsgroup <g>
