    Probably best to try it around morning UK time, about 9am. Which should be late night/very early morning for the americans. Should give you a good shot at it.

    as great a game as it is, the version they released is unplayable, they included a frame rate limiter so it doesnt run super fast on even my gfx, but with it on, the game is really jerky and hurts ur eyes looking at it, u disable it (f8 i think) then its so fast its also unplayable lol

    Don't you need a 3dfx card to run the original GTA? I suppose you could use a glide wrapper to do it. The second one could run on either D3D or OGL, if I recall correctly.

    maybe it has something liek cs1.6 where here is a config file with the 'maxframerate = XX'

    setting this to something like 100 woudl be ideal if there were such a line in GTA

    Under Development...

    GTA1 works in software rendering, there's also a Glide mode in the msdos version.

    And it run a tad too fast - on the 3d realms website there are links to apps which eat a set percentage of cpu time, to help old games to work
