Speaking of oldies, has everybody completely forgotten about "Need For
Dirt: Backhoe Unleashed"???? NFDBU was a TON of fun with a highly
underrated physics model -- I've still got it installed, and I
occasionally run laps just for fun. GREAT sim!

When Backhoe! was released, it won high praise for its graphics (some
say the best in the biz), but a faulty survey sytem coupled with
unrealistic hydraulics proved to be too much for their lack of funding
an interest in continuing in the genre.
They also immediately cancelled their upcoming Steamroller! without
notice, leaving many fans in the dust.

Too true John, could quite easily end up being just another Backhoe
precision digging
wasnt there a bulldozer in the original simcity. you could clear
forests & destroy roads and stuff.
never liked simcity versions after that so don't know if they have
added more similar vehicles.
there, a truly helpful answer :)
*grin*
btw, thanks for all the in-jokes. r.a.s. is getting funnier by the
day. its nice to see we don't have anally retented folk swatting the
offtopic wickedness :)
hey dave h, didn't Papyrus start a Backhoe sim and then the lead
programmer was abducted or something? Personally, i think Ford bought
the rights to the game to prevent competition to ford simulator...
mmmm. the thick plottens.
regards all,
ian
Now you've gone and ruined everthing
