I had a job once where my co-workers were totally addicted to Carmageddon and v2. But the place we worked ran OS/2 Warp (which means you can probably guessed where we worked). Anyway, they went crazy trying to find PC emulators, DOS emulators – anything that would get Carmageddon to run in Warp.
Anyway – thanks for the link – you have a new RSS subscriber 🙂
Glad to hear it, ross — I haven’t actually tried the tips there for Carmageddon on XP, but I did want to have it bookmarked in case I have some free time down the road.
They figured out how to make Carmageddon work? DAMMIT! Now I wish I still had a PC…
