GPL fans - Rally Trophy

[AllonFS]

(Sorry if this is really old news )
Picked up Rally Trophy for £10 last week and can thoroughly recommend it to GPLers out there. It might not be quite the same standard but the physics, graphics and overall feel are of a 60s/70s rally GPL. Hell you even get a Lotus Cortina to play with and pretend you are Jim Clark.

It's a game that before GPL I would really have struggled with, but with my GPL experience I can get right into it. Certainly my throttle control is a lot more sensitive and sympathetic than it was from my console days. It makes a nice change to GPL but without that huge lowering of standard you normally get playing any other driving game!

Cool. Sounds like one to get...

I've seen it about in the bargain bins or second hand. I thought about buying it but I had no idea if it was any good. Is it a game that can be added on to? Are there downloads available anywhere?

[AllonFS]

There are limited downloads Ayse, a few cars (some look very nice) and a couple of tracks. One track may be of interest, a certain GPL inspired Ring. Available in tarmac or gravel (!) versions.

Try this website for an idea of what is out there:

Not a huge amount, but the game itself is certainly worth a tenner, my first impressions are that as an occassional and decent alternative to GPL it is pretty good. I won the novice rallies fairly easily with the Cortina, but the expert level with a Escort RS2000 was ugly.

[Aysedasi]

Right. When I can find a few minutes out of my GPL schedule, I'll give it a go.

Of course, when I do find those few minutes, I really ought to be updating my web site. Still only 1 page up out of 4 planned for Le Mans 2003!

[pirenzo]

I'll look out for that. I can't find a copy of SCGT anywhere, so maybe i'll have better luck with this

At least you update yours...

But then you pay for it, so it's better not to waste it..

I still can't believe you agreed to leave before the finish though...

[Aysedasi]

I know, I know......

Actually, I get my web space as part of my overall broadband package - but yes, I do therefore pay for it - I tend to look on it as an added bonus!

Actually, I didn't leave before the finish. I just had to go with those who insisted on leaving before the finish......

[pirenzo]

huh? You are saying there that you didn't, but a clone of you did :confused:

[Aysedasi]

Yes, that must have been it.

I was still there in spirit.

(And I was in a lot more spirit of the calvados variety later than evening..... )

For rally games in general this is probably one of the best out there. With most nowadays being too arcady, i even considered getting this, even though i dont like GPL as i havent played a rally game for a while and wanted to get in to it again. Though having played most demos for the more recent ones out, there'all pretty bad.
