Yep, probably, but I suppose they might get it right 7th time around...

And part 1 was quite awesome... it was from Accolade though. I remember it being quite fun in the days when I still had my Amiga 1000 and later Amiga 2000.

Oh, and seven.. I still have that game. Test Drive 1, 2, and 3, on my PC. My version 2 & 3 are abandonware.. but I have the original box, disks, and manuals for TD1. Yer right.. it\'s awesome. That game made me fall in love with the Lotus Esprint.

If you want it.. it\'s yours for a song.

Yeah, the Esprit. It\'s my favorite car and Lotus my favorite brand since the series Lotus Challenge (also on Amiga) - but unfortunately the Esprit is to become history. Production of the latest model, the Esprit V8 SE 2002 will be ceased from next year on. Quite sad, it\'s been always a car that held its own against Ferraris and in quite a few aspects even outperformed most of them.

And SonyFan, I think I still have the game somewhere. I have stacks of Amiga games somewhere.. I think I might look for a Amiga emulator and try to get those games to work. I remember a few that were quite amazing..

Yes, BUT, they are both essentially the same code, running on different hardware. The only major difference will probably be that there will be alittle more aliasing, since not many people know how to fix it properly.
