Must be thousands of cumulative hours invested in those, might have to fire up CMR just to do the rally school again with Colin berating you!! That was maybe the third of copy of that, loved it.

Two Carmageddon to play networked with a 50ft crossover patch lead, those were the days.... :D

Hehe, some memories there JoeyJoeJo :thumb:

Formula 1, TOCA and Colin McRae Rally - jeez they had some hammer on my pc/console.
LOL at the Laguna at Donington.
I used to like the green Ultron Peugeot 406.

I remember first seeing Formula1 97 on the PC at a mates house using the 3dfx graphics card - amazing compared to anything you'd ever seen before.

Mind you I'm coming from the era of playing GrandPrix2 by Geoff Crammond on the PC. Great simulator, and I had the add on pack where you could change all the car liveries to whatever you want by adding you own graphics (or updating the new seasons sponsors etc)
By my reckoning, my computer at the time was a Pentium 100, with a 1MB graphics card and something like 16MB RAM.

How times have changed.

Takes me right back to my secondary school days. F1 97 on 3DFX card, Murray Walker commentary alongside the new (and not very good at the time) Martin Brundle saying some random **** not really connected to what was happening in the game. How things have changed!

I had the original colin mcrae rally. It wouldn't run well on my pc at first until I bought a 3DFX graphics card. That was a game changer for graphics that's for sure.

I had most of those racing games at some point. The need for speed games were absolute class.

Someone mentioned GP2 which I also had, could never fully enjoy that with a keyboard though. The brakes didn't like to operate digitally.

Myself and some friends used to direct dial each others PC's and create a linkup with Duke Nukem 3D, the original true mutilplayer game with home made 'worlds'. Fantastic!

Thanks for the memories lad.:thumb:
