Which game to buy?
Hello all!
I am stuck traveling on business for the next 5 months, so I won't be able to have my PS2 I have never been into PC games, but I thought that now would be the best time! I want to put a racing game on my laptop, so I can play in whatever city/country I'm in. Since I don't know anything about PC games, maybe some of you can suggest what I should get My Computer: -Pentium III Laptop, 1000MHz -I think I only have 128 RAM, not sure, though What I want: -Preferrably a F1 game, but would certainly be OK with another type of vehicle -Something that is farily realistic in terms of handling -Something I won't get bored of in 1 week (this will be my only game!) -My laptop has nothing fancy as far as graphic and sound goes...so those aren't as important to me as gameplay and a realistic physics model... I won't be buying a wheel, because that would be hard to travel with... I will buy a control similar to the PS kind... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! |

Always GPL for me, but I wouldn't fancy playing it with a gamepad.

Le Mans 24 Hour is pretty good - just be careful to ensure you get the most up-to-date of the two versions available (coded by a company called Melbourne House and published by Atari/Infogrames). Hours of fun to be had with that one.

Bearing in mind that right now you can by SCGT for £1.99 and GPL for £4.99 in the UK, if you can get hold of them your side of the pond for similar prices, you might as well buy the both. |

I'm just itching to get a MOMO now right enough. Anyways, the wheel feels odd at first but when you get it all sorted to your style of driving and get the car setup just right, the times fall. I finally managed to surpass my gamepad PBs and delve further into the GPLRank darkside. But yes, GPL for pure thrills and addons. Likewise with SCGT albeit with more addons but maybe slightly less of a challenge. |

Negative with a pad, that's good going, GasMan. I'm still well off -ive rank, but I'm enjoying whittling my +ive rank down, bit by bit! Now, all we've got to do is to persuade Damon to dump his PS2, buy a decent spec pc and drive the real thing. (Somehow I think that might not happen!). Last edited by Aysedasi; 6 Nov 2002 at 13:36. |

Took me the better part of two years to get where I am now in GPLRank and I've hit that plateaux and barrier where I've just got to let the speed seep in before progressing again. Besides, a good GPLRank doesn't make a good race driver. I am proof of that. :lol:
These console owners don't know what they're missing with GPL, that's for sure. I just wish my graphics card and aging processor could cope with some of the new and gorgeous cars and track graphics. Oh yeah, and a MOMO. (Hey, I can daydream ) |
