The Italian Job

Quoting The Italian Job

Rob Swindells posted the famous 'blow the doors off' line from The Italian Job, and several posters repeated it with grammar corrections. The thread drifted into wishes for a Mini racing game in Italian towns and mentions of Gran Turismo 2 and Big Red Racing.

Automated summary.

There was a Konami arcade console called "Cote d'Azur Rally". An absolute dog in terms of driving physics, and if I recall the cars were sprite based, and yet very convincing looking. Anyway, the concept was brilliant - rip around little Mediterranean towns in Minis, GTIs and Renault 5s. Fun fun fun. Now, how about a game based on the driving scenes from "Ronin"?

Gran Turismo 2 is supposed to have Minis. Okay, fine. Now start arguing about whether Gran Turismo is a simulator or not. Adrian. I love my car, I love my Min', It saves me lots of gas! And everywhere I want to go, It gets there really fast! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! Mini! beep! beep!

: >> "You're only supposed to blow the ***y doors off!" as we're on r.a.s, i guess the best quote from the film is when the 3 mini's are racing off through the city with the loot, and the co-driver of the mini at the back says to the driver, rather politely, 'oh do make an effort to keep up with the others' fantastic! if only there were pit-car radios in the 60's. i can just imagine colin chapman saying this to graham hill... martin. --
To Graham Hill? The World Champion for BRM? The same driver who virtually "owned" the Monaco GP? The bloke who drove a Lotus 38 to victory at Indianapolis in 1966? I can't imagine THAT instruction being issued by Chapman to Hill......more likely Jordan to Hill!! -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

If you search the bins you may find a copy of Big Red Racing, an arcade game with such odd venues as low gravity mars racing moonbuggies snowplows in Siberia boats in Japan (If I remember correctly) but by far my favorite was racing minis in Italy... even had the motorcoach*** off the side of the cliff :-) It is a simple little game but some of the best fun LAN racing wev'e had when you get a little bored of the serious stuff. **************************************************** I'm at jburlis at mail dot postnet dot com
