    old game really bugging me

    right, havent been on old hexus for a longgg while (uni is busy)..

    anyaway we just got an n64 (upgrade from snes!) last night and the graphics on the battle mode were identical to a game i played when i was bout 9 and the name of its been bugging me ever since...

    i think it was a game that was on the windows 95 installation disks and basically you had to collect flags or something??? it was very basic. the bonuses are exactly the same as on mario kart - milticoloured thingys you and the maps are the same with loads of ramps up to levels but in different colours.

    anyone know the name??

    What a game - downloaded it and have been unable to stop playing! I'm sure it's killing my eyes though as I was running it full screen 1280x768 - the word pixelation takes on a whole new meaning when you can take out your tape measure and measure them with ease.

    Yes, the memories, Wheezer playing simultaneously on 15-20 PC's throughout the repairs and production departments.

    And Hover? a game? no it's a testing tool supplied by Microsoft for testing new PC's honest....
