Yesterday, on another forum, this was posted...

Hi everybody.
Many months ago I started playing around with a computer game engine (Sphere), but couldnt figure out a theme for the game. Most games made with this engine are 2d games where the character wanders around a forest/caves etc... interacting with the creatures they found.
Then it hit me - a game where you wander around the Formula 1 paddock.
Why not?
So here it is. Maxmaster. 3.2Mb.



I can understand Bernie being a character in a game, but Mario Thiessen?? Mike Gascoyne?? sheesh...

surely you mean "using your credit card to pay for stage shows featuring a chorus line of up to 30 men" ?

Wasn't that exactly how sMax's real-life problems started?

Probably not too far away from the truth.

If anyone else has downloaded this game be careful. If you put a shortcut on your desktop it will give you a 25s penalty.

Same goes for me.

Well, its not like I wrote it, so I cant patch it for you... but I did a few google searches and found someone else who had the same problem running this game engine, and the game engine developers showed them how to fix it.
And you do want to fix it.
Its stupidly funny.

Should have guessed, even a fake beard won't help you much if you happen to be Ron Dennis. tongue.gif

In the end, of course, I lost all credibility as a F1 fan because of that pervert. mad.gif

Thanks for the help, but tried it on another pc with XP instead of Vista and it worked there!

Cool game, reminds me of old C64 games smile.gif Not too difficult, but is there no end to the game? After level 11 it starts over again...

Is this a free game? Can I copy this game for my own personal use?

I just want to make sure about this before I go to the copyshop, I don't want to be fined $ 100M.
