Dawkinsdog,

Thank you for the feedback, I forgot to mention the camera controls so thanks for that.

I found the use of the controller was the worst out of the three that I tried; with the joy stick being the easiest to control the cars, with the keyboard second.

Whiterabbit-uk, that's weird, I'm not seeing any option menu in the game, the main menu just has Play, Garage, More Games, and Exit. The in game menu via P just has Main Menu, Resume Game, and Start Again. Great little game, just started it again to double check and ended up playing way too long.

I'm finding the keyboard quite responsive, but then I'm so old I grew up playing games on the ZX Spectrum and C64 so I'm no stranger to using the keyboard.

Dawkinsdog,

Sorry, my mistake. I'd been perusing several games I'd purchased in the Steam sale early in July. I've been off colour since Covid hit some weeks ago, so hadn't been much in the mood to play any games until earlier today. I'd booted up several to see what they were like. I'd just been adjusting the music in one of the arcade games I'd purchased (called No Parachute)., and thought it was todays giveaway.

Again sorry for the miss information. You can however turn the music off via the Volume Mixer, though that will turn the sound effects off as well.

Hi Jason, thank you for your feedback. I had no issues with any lag on the controls. Using either WASD or the arrow keys.

I'd not bothered to check to see if there were any other controller options, but did connect my Microsoft X-Box controller and my Logitech Saitek X52 flight stick (basically an overly expensive deluxe joystick) to my PC and both worked okay. I actually found the flight controller the easiest to control the vehicle out of the three control options.

p.s. thanks for the heads up on the second Capcom arcade; always nice to see a free game. I bought ten or eleven for the first arcade while they were still on sale. Love them.

Whiterabbit-uk, You are welcome. About the Stadium 2, I am going to wait for a sale on it since it's new. At least Capcom learned their lesson from not selling Alacarte from the first one which almost scared me away from buying it. If I'm going to buy games for Stadium 2 its going to be on the XBOX One with the bigger screen. In 2019 I bought the All Digital Edition without the disk drive and did not regret it! I don't get out much these days but its nice to be able to download the games and you don't have scratched disk issues.

sailorbear510 aka Jason,

Ah yes scratched disks, thankfully most of my game disks still function; at least those that work on the latest windows versions. The only disk I ever lost through constant use was my first copy of Battlefield 2, which actually cracked from the centre outwards. It worked even with the crack initially, but as the crack extended to the edge of the disk, I had to purchase a replacement. It was around that time I discovered NoCD patches, which I now have for all my disk based games; which saved a lot of damage to most of my disks as once I'd installed the game, then swapping out the main exe for the NoCD version, I didn't have to use the disks again. That said, digital is much better.

I have a reasonably large study (14x15 feet); so, if every game I had was hard disk I wouldn't have the shelf space on all four walls, right up to the ceiling to store my game disks, so when digital became popular around 18 years ago I stopped buying hard disks (apart from a few over the years since). I actually purchased a hard copy of Wings over Vietnam only several weeks ago via eBay; it was still in its cellophane wrapper and a few years ago I bought 16 hard copies of Men of Valor with the intention of passing them on to fiends so that we could play together online. (it's one of my favourite Vietnam shooters). A couple of weeks after buying them as a job lot (£1 for each copy), all still in their wrappers, the game was released on Steam. It turned out cheaper to buy the game via Steam at the time as it was 50% off on release, rather than post copies out to friends; especially international friends.

Most of my hard disk based games are now stored in large boxes up in the attic, apart from about twenty I still regularly play that aren't available digitally; mainly shooters from around 2000 to 2005 such as Battlefield Vietnam {got BF1942 on Origin when they gave it away some years ago} and the Harry Potter games. Quite a few of the early shooters from around 1995 to 2005 are now free on various abandonware sites including some of my all time favourites such as Vietcong and Conflict Vietnam {which you can find on MyAbandonware.com}. I've noted over the last few years some of those games have been released on steam such as Line of Sight: Vietnam and other old game.
