You've got to realise that weather was never a part of GPL, that is a extra addition, along with rain on some other circuits.

Elite. On an Amstrad CPC.

Midwinter II on the 'miggy.

FFVII on the PS1.

Then work got in the way.

By the way, SkidMarks (Acid software) was far superior to Iron Mans truck racing.

It's not santa, it's an animated scantily clad woman wearing a santa style coat who flashes at the cars as they go by

The cheating was awful! [brag mode]I was accused of cheating in most games, not that I ever cheated, I just played far too much [/brag] Its only a game, but it felt bloody good getting into your groove after 8 hours play for the umpteenth night in a row and being able to jump round any corner playing any class, and waste 3-4 players plus a few sentries, grab the flag, and kill the same 3-4 players as they respawned on my way back to base


Possibly the only game that I've ever popped onto for a quick session one night and still been playing when the sun came up the next morning, it used to happen regularly too! Getting told you were cheating or that only n00bs and lamers with no skill cap the flag (cue hunting down and mercilessly and repeatedly slaughtering someone... as Scout if they really sucked) was all part of the fun on public servers. Did you play as part of a clan? Clan matches were a whole different ball game, I played in the UKTFCL Premiership seasons III and IV. We regularly got our arses handed to us by people that were so good it was untrue lol, but the pace and teamwork was on another planet compared to public games.

I miss those servers. It has a lot to do with age, the fact that I spend my time doing other things now, but it'll never be the same. And I'll never enjoy a game again as much as I enjoyed TFC. My hard core gaming days are.. snivel, sob, cry... over.


Aye, I'm too busy doing other things to be REALLY good at games now. I can still hold my own, but you're right it isn't the same. LOL do we sound like a couple of addicts or what?

Yes, totally Its all good fun though I joined a few clans, but didnt like the "Right, this is how we are going to play" rules so never stayed for more than a few matches. I much preferred the 'every man for himself' rogue soldier approach on the pubs, capping the noobs - which never got boring. Many of the noobs though were bloody good though, who seemingly never left the pc and spent their lives practising. Id usually play engineer, set up sentry and go flagrunning. You knew what/where the other players would be, and jumping round corners primed, or emping sentries from a floor below was part of the fun of knowing the game inside out, especially when winding up the folks who think you're cheating

We had a few chaps from BC (body count - at the time best uk clan) come on for a skimish now and again - they made formidable foes!! Better than bots on the hardest setting from games like unreal tournament, you really had to be on your toes in openspace shotgun fights to take them on - it was almost spooky coming face to face with players of that calibre. True professionals

a) Pro Evolution Soccer (Xbox)
b) Rome Total War (PC)

and worst of all Fight Night on Xbox360......aahhh why have you spoilt my perfect record !! Just one more go....

Indycar Racing "I'm Paul Page, from Papyrus. This is Indycar Racing"...


That was a really good game, if it's the one I'm thinking of. A housemate at uni had it on his 486(!). You could change the colour schemes on the cars too, if I recall correctly.

GT2 is probably my most played game.

Up until last year, it would have been IGI 2 and FEAR, but Rome has overtaken both by quite a way (including my life!!!)
