I second all of the above! Stunt Car Racer is the best game I have ever seen
on the ST! The author, Geoff Crammond, used to write some of the most amazing
games for the BBC Micro (Aviator - Best BBC flight sim ever, Revs - Best
driving game, Sentinel - Strange 3D power struggle). I have no connection
with Geoff other than the fact that his brother used to work here. But that's
not why I recommend Stunt Car Racer.

A game you should definately NOT buy is Hard Drivin'. It's a piece of *&%$!
Only the graphics are the same as the original. It's slow, buggy and a
complete insult to the capabilities of the ST. I guess that's why Domark were
only showing on TT's at the recent computer shows. You get a big stoopid
plastic box with a disk, a badge and a sticker in it.

Anyone played VET yet?
