Hmm around that time I would be playing MarioKart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Driver (PS1 & PC), Micromachines V2 Turbo (SNES) and Micromachines V3 (PC), GTA and GTA2
I miss the days when driver was good , I loved driver 1
Back in 2000?? Seems like yesterday , time speeds up as you get older
I've never actually been in there but they take up one floor of a large building. My guess is that they commission other game developers to make games for the company and then either pay royalties per sale or buy the game off them completely for a large price, and then owning all rights to that game.
Okay, so now i've had a good chance to play Mini Car Racing and i have to say it is a fantastic game! It takes me back to the 16-bit days of playing isometric racers, such as Rock 'n' Roll Racing and that other one on the Mega Drive with the cows in it (i forget its name) and it really is a shockingly good game for the money spent. I paid £1.20 for a new sealed copy on eBay, with free P&P (which apparently cost 75p anyways, according to the postage sticker!) and with 50 tracks it is worth every penny!
Granted, the weapons, the special upgrades and the vehicles themselves are pretty generic, the gameplay itself is as solid as you could possibly hope for and the sheer variety in how the cars handle, as well as the well-made upgrade system, makes for a remarkable experience. Seriously, i cannot say enough for how good this game is for such a bargain price!
