Not really a bug, but . . . has anybody besides me actually *tried*
jumping the rail in GPL to do some off-road driving? Get up some
speed, go into a slide, get the car to start rolling/tumbling, and
then -- VIOLA! -- you're suddenly on the other side of the fence. You
can drive around and check things out from a *different* angle -- it's
kind of amusing. Things get VERY surreal when you stray from the
designated course -- the bottom drops out and you're flying . . . the
trees and people look like something from a Salvadore Dali painting .
. and ultimately the game crashes -- whatta hoot! <G>
-- John Bodin <as always, straying from the beaten path . . .>
