Seriously it as pretty neat :) it felt you were going over the bumps at Brands.

Ah, those were the days. When I was a lad, when the latest 'cutting edge' game cost 5.99 with hefty manual (well, cassette inlay). When it came out it felt so real, with so many options. I played it recently and quickly had to have 10 laps on F1GP to stop crying. -- Dean Lamb Sig. coming soon to a screen near you.

Heh, heh, the first good driving game I played. I still laugh when I think that they said they left out opposition cars to make it a simulation instead of an arcade game. I guess that's why they called it Chequered Flag - you always won. Greg

But did you guys ever get to play REVS for the BBC (and I think Acorn). In its day it was something else. Andy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Come to Brooklands at:- [link lost in import] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
