And suddenly, for the first time in quite a few years, I find myself thinking of Andrew, whom I haven't seen for a very long time now. Seventeen years later, I'm sitting in front of my television playing Bugbear's Next Car Game tech demo. The more we abuse it, the less it resembles a car, until eventually we end up with what is little more than a jagged lump of metal with wheels poking out at peculiar angles a mutilated mechanical corpse barely capable of moving, let alone defying gravity and making it back up to that rooftop for one final jump.
It turns out that repeatedly flinging the car off the roof has a highly amusing effect on its 3D model, which incorporates a somewhat rudimentary (though impressive for 1997) damage model. Once we're on the roof, we decide to see what will happen if we fling our car off. It has a tunnel running up inside it, and said tunnel leads to the rooftops. Before long, we make a discovery: there's a single building in the map that is more than just a solid wall to crash into.
We're immediately blown away by the freedom offered in the demo, though we quickly discover that we need to cause a bit of chaos to earn enough time to mess around as much as we want to. It's here that our attention is turned today, due to the arrival of the latest issue of UK PC gaming magazine PC Zone, and the Carmageddon demo that is on the cover-mounted CD. One wall is dominated by a television and its attached games consoles the wall by the window, meanwhile, houses a small desk with his gaming PC - a beefy Pentium with a mighty 16MB of RAM. All rights reserved.It's a sunny afternoon in 1997, and instead of catching the bus home from school I've gone over to my friend Andrew's house.Īfter the customary glass of Coke, small talk with his mother and brief, teenage hormone-fuelled flash of wondering whether or not I think his sister is attractive, I'm led by Andrew up to his room - a pokey little affair barely bigger than a cupboard, but one that is rammed to the gills with entertainment technology of various descriptions. ⚫️ | Art of Minimal Techno Trip Owner by Trippy Code Records (Loyalty badges next to your name in comments and live chat + custom emojis) Boris Brejcha - Worakls - Patrick Slayer - Art Of Minimal Techno Squid Game By Patrick Slayer
