For a different twist, SW Pod Racer, Midtown Madness 1 & 2, or any good racing game. ;)

And what think you of X?

Both my cousin and myself think it marvellous, as do many others, but PCG deemed it crap, as "it makes you work".

And know you of the God Hangar in HardWar?

Have you completed HardWar yet? I have, but only by cheating.

Have you got the latest patch for it? It gives you a new moth, access to the monorail, and about 4 new starting classes.

also, another reason that I like HW is that Software Refinery were based in LEEDS!

i have, but the dang thing took me longer than morrowind to complete....

as for the patch, well it's still on my old pc ATM.. i'm currently using my big bad athlon box. for work/photoshop and gaming...in which hardwar's not a part of...

if UT asked for any decent rpg's i would be able to give him a sizeable list:thepimp:

I tried it once but as D2 divided my throttle in two (for forward and reverse) I was plodding round the levels at half speed so I was forced to revert back to keyboard/mouse...

It's actually pretty cool playing it on the PPC, but it's as hard as hell to control.

Casio E-200 has a USB port, maybe you could hook up a joystick to it... :drevil:

Much better than a mouse, and more precise than a keyboard. Only thing that competes with joystick driving is an actual steering wheel, but I find the joystick easier, simply because there's less moving around to turn, brake, etc. ;)

That's how I play D3 most of the time - I map the joystick's hat to the sliding control - up, down, left, right - the joystick's throttle to forward and reverse, and the handle twist to barrel rolling. that leaves me with regular stick movements to control the orientation (duh), and a gazillion buttons! :p


I gotta finish that game sometime. :p
