    The Retro Gaming Thread

    Silkworm was one of the first two-player co-op games that really worked, for me. Who's being the chopper and who's being the jeep? Really like the fact that neither was better or worse than the other. I remember a co-op Asteroids type game too - where the ship could be one of three...

    Packard Bell Iextreme Hot swapable HDD

    Does it take 2.5" or 3.5" discs? Are you more interested in speed or capacity? As you say that additional storage space is important - I'd be looking at a SATA-III HDD - the largest you can get. Assuming that your PC has the relevant SATA connection and mount to house such a drive? Might be...

    Toyota Supra Big Twin Turbo Build 1000ish BHP

    Epic. Always loved Supras since being at school - and I'm 40 now! I actually think this shape is the best incarnation that Toyota released.

    Windows 10 Now live!

    Not sure if this has been mentioned - but for three times on the row, I've had an issue creating the media after installing Windows 10. On all three attempts (the ISO, USB and multi-language choices) - it got to 100% before saying 'Something happened' - with no other detail left on it. I read...

    COD: Black Ops III (3)

    I might do. Tbh, I've lost track of what COD series is what. It all gets a bit meaningless. That said , I've always like the SP campaigns and never really the online aspect. Unfortunately, DICE thought it sensible to follow the upgrade everything options of COD and again, diluted the experience...

    Some 70s motorsport snaps

    Brilliant - even more so that in today's world, you point and click and pretty much guaranteed a good photo. Those shots take skill and some amount of luck to get right. You could certainly get a few £££ from those, I reckon.

    Nice one m8. I think that's a job for me tomorrow then. :up:

    Hello...new (old) member

    What a great all-rounder track car! Sounds epic, handles well and with a roof, can be used in all weathers :) Never been to Cadwell - does look a great track - if a little 'narrow'? The closest I've been to your clip was taking a 340R around Oulton. That was a good few years back mind, but the...

    Windows 10 Now live!

    If you run it - it is the full blown version, not a mere upgrade option. But, I'd like to start afresh without my prior Windows 7 existing 'underneath' so to speak. I do get quite fussy with things like that. ;)

    Windows 10 Now live!

    Chaps - has anyone actually got the process of keeping hold of the Windows 10 install files and running a fresh install from them? Like an ISO file or bootable media creator? If I run that Media Creation Tool again, now that Windows 10 is installed - will it just create a fresh version on the...

    The Retro Gaming Thread

    ^^^ - Rainbow Islands was a stroke of true design genius. There were quite a few in and around that era - New Zealand Story being another. Both games were instantly accessible - involving and great fun to play. But massively difficult to be perfect at.

    Windows 10 Now live!

    Too true. If we clicked our fingers together at work and all 320+ users suddenly had Windows 10 on their PCs, I'd expect a few calls but nothing major. Windows 8 would have just spiralled them into a blind panic. I couldn't think of anything worse than installing Windows 8 into the commercial...

    Windows 10 Now live!

    It's worth doing Chris. Don't forget, Windows 7 is 6 years old now - and although that's not necessarily a reason in itself to make the switch - 7 certainly isn't getting any younger. The fact that that aborted frontal lobotomy of Windows 8 occurred, probably put the hold on Windows 7 SP2 ever...

    Megane 250/265, overlooked?

    I never really thought about the newer Meggys much. But Ph1 Tom's link looks to be a bloody good buy. My only reservation is if they 'felt' big. I love the nibbleness of the 182 - it's short and fat stature just look right and I wouldn't want that compromised - even in the face of much higher...

    The long wait is finally over (Williams content)

    I think in that situation - you have to take onboard Stevo's view about it. You're pumping money into the car for yourself - not to sell on and (hopefully) make a profit. Certain cars just get under your skin - for no financial or practical sense whatsoever. The thought had crossed my mind (on...

    Windows 10 Now live!

    Thought I'd come across my first Windows 10 issue last night. Fired up Project Cars for the first time since installing the new O/S and the game had no idea what the hell my G25 was. I quit and went to the Logitech Game Software and it had the keyboard, mouse, G13 gameboard - but nothing on the...

    Hello...new (old) member

    Awesome! As good as the 182 is - I bet it doesn't compare to the Elise! :) Is the Honda transplant on these a relatively straight-forward swap?

    My Evo VI

    The problem you have is that you don't realise what white is white. Until it stares you in the face! I got the polisher out on the rear spoiler once (always my favourite part of the car to clean) and had a few swipes over the top blade with little more than some AG Super Resin polish. One of...

    What is classed as high miles for a clio?

    Nudging 140k for mine. They are generally a 2.0litre pulling not-that-much of a car. Sure they can be driven hard, but for the most part - these lumps aren't having that much of a hard life. As others - looked after with oil changes and other servicing - they do last.

    That's the way I read it too. Not quite sure how it works when you have an OEM DVD of Windows 7 Home, though? I've reformatted the PC numerous times over the years using this DVD - but I'm assuming that when I installed Windows 10, it did take a 'time-stamp' of my current hardware as part of...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    How much do you want to spend? What features are important to you? How much O/C'ing do you expect to be doing? ....the list goes on! :tongueout: If I was to buy one today, I'd be looking at the below. I currently have an Asus Rampage III Extreme from 2010, but the vast majority of overclocking...

    First post, a known BG 182...

    Don't worry - you'll never keep it in the condition Rich did. Once you accept that, you'll enjoy the car more! :tongueout: Good that you're going down the 'subtle' mod route. I've had mine since new and apart from lowering it a little on Eibachs, swapping out the OEM cheese-made exhaust and...

    Windows 10 Now live!

    Yes. Whichever version of Windows 7 or 8 it comes with, you're entitled to upgrade to the equivalent Windows 10 version for free. There is a slight caveat that you need to upgrade within the next year (well, probably 360 days now) in order to get it free, but most people will do that anyway.
