Yet another game it can run.

Meh... I'm gonna have to downsize. It's too expensive, these rigs. I'm thinking about getting something much smaller.

Maybe this?



It'll at least handle FSO fine on 1024x768.

Do they still have oil rigs as lego sets? It seems like something that'd be a bit odd today, given the charged nature of 'oil' in world events and public perception...but maybe I just read too much internet.

I very much doubt that 6-10 year olds care about that. They just want to spin the rotors and make helicopter noises.

And when it comes down to it. So do I. :D

:yes:

Spinning rotors and making helicopter noises are my bread and butter.

Am I seeing this right that the Lego dudes didn't have arms and faces back then ?

I mean I remember the solid translucent blocks that were used as windows before the clear window parts were introduced, but Lego men without faces are just haunting.

There hasn't been any oil rig set since then, although one or two sets had oil rig models as alternates. However, there has been a gasoline related set of some sort every year or two.

You definitely need to stop reading so much internet. :D

Yes, the standard minifig came out in 1977. Before that they had no guys at first, followed by these faceless ones for a few years.
