GPL 5th best game of all time in Oz

PC Power Play magazine in Australia have rated GPL as the 5th best game of all time. The other racing sims to make the top 50 list were GP2 - 11th TOCA 2 - 18th Colin McRae Rally - 27th Games were rated on historical significance, influence on games that followed, inovation in gameplay and technology and how much fun they are to play. In case you're wondering Quake came in at number one. Jeff

Wow, great, I didn't expect such an objective and clever decision from a game mag! Can you give us the whole top 10 please? Very curious. Allthough I don;t really like Quake myself, it indeed had a very big influence on 3d shooters, so I feel it's a fair number one. For me personally GPL would be number one ofcourse.

The top ten are 1. Quake 2. Age of Empires II 3. Thief: The dark project 4. Falcon 3.0 5. GPL 6. Master of Orion 2 7. Doom 8. Ultima Underworld - The Stygian Abyss 9. Harpoon 10. The Last Express Being a racing sim and first person shooter addict I've got to admit that I don't know much about some of these games but it's a good spread of game types.

Based on the informations in different media(newspapers,internet gaming sites,TV,...) I could have very well missed GPL,the best game in the world and this gives me a cold sweat.I would never immagine that a driving game could be such realistic and I can`t immagine what could be changed to improve it,besides the graphics.

For the first time in my life... I actually think I agree with a Gaming-mag critic. :) -- All the best, Ed Solheim The Paddock - a legendary site....
