> I've always thought Frank was a "Host Organism"! :-)

Yes yes I provide lodging and I harbour those parasites of our world ;)

Of course not!  That's the fun of it, similar to how fun Ironman Off-Road
was back at the arcades (with those cool metal wheels that you would twirl
when you wanted to steer)

It's very, very similar to "Skidmarks" on the Amiga, which is a Good Thing.
(That one didn't have pit stops though -- or a track editor.)

Also: A bit disturbing to think this game may have a better physics,
pit stops, and damage model than many full-priced commercial games :)

Thanks for the heads up.  What a great little game to just sit and blow away
15 minutes.

Yes, I downloaded it a week ago., However, I haven't been able to install it,
apparently it requires DirectX 8.1 or something? Or is it that my video card
doesn't have enough RAM?

No, wait, I just remembered - it's that I've been to busy to install it, just
that!
;-)

What, they're already in v1.01? And I burnt v1.00 to a CD not even three days
ago...

Great game, but alas, no online multiplayer so it's not a sim.

I'd forgotten about that! Well, can we at least have a four-wheel toilet --
or a cow?? :)

(To those unfamiliar with Skidmarks - yes, there actually was!)

Quake 3 has multiplayer, so it is?
