    Anyone partaking in Gridrunner Revolution?

    Yup, I love Jeff Minter games, and yes today Gridrunner Revolution was released today, and a final yes... I'm playing it with some brown booze to celebrate...

    There is a demo...

    Re: Anyone partaking in Gridrunner Revolution?

    As much as I respect Jeff Minter and all his work, I just can't get on with (particularly) his newer games. There's just so much going on on the screen at one time, my brain can't cope with all the flashing lights and sounds any more.

    At least when he was limited by technology it was easier to work out what was going on!
