I admit that there's a bit of driving around in tanks and jeeps, but most people would agree that it may be stretching the "driving game" genre a tad too much perhaps ? :-) Fun to jump be a Tiger and blast the hell out of Shermans though Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--
I think some interpreted it to be Best non_driving game. Racing or otherwise. Maybe?? "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

"john" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>... > well > since it is a slow day > why not start this I don't see how you can have a non-racing driving game, because surely they all involve racing of some sort? For example, all the Nascar and F1 sims are about racing around a track and trying to get ahead of the competition. But at the other end of the scale there's games like Driver, the GTA series, etc, and they still have a racing element, although it's not as evident as the aformentioned sims. They all have checkpoints, of sorts, where you have to drive as quickly as possible from one place to another, avoiding the police, beating the clock and so forth...
No. Links 2003 (or any other version Of Links) is a non-racing driving game. There is no racing whatsoever, but typically 14 "drives" per round. :>) Todd "Wayne Bradley" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ani38t$h8i$[email hidden]...

Yep. I76 goes on top. That game was the final push that made puy a PC.Online CTF with armed vehicles and many beers was the best. (and spend 4 1/2 or 5 years of upgrading yonder hardware afterward). GTA3 Hard Drivin' and Race Drivin' Midtown 1 and 2 (sort of a racing game though) Does a train simulator count ? :) "Conga" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:pAQm9.107656$[email hidden]...
