Yeah that's it, Road Rash. Gave me a good foundation (with GTA) for real-world road rage.

There was a cheat where you could get a jet black bike that was so fast you could crash shortly after the start and fly the 10 miles of the course and die just after the finish line. I completed the game first time round using that exact tactic.

I've never played any sports games, but I did play Age of Empires/Age of Mythology.

I keep forgetting that was only last Thursday. Feels like longer ago for some reason.

I never had any cheat codes for Road Rash (plenty for GTA but I got bored of them after a while). I just had to spam races endlessly to get enough credits to upgrade.

And now, I still have to do the same in Gran Turismo. Plus ca change, etc.

I love Age of Empires, but I didn't get into it until later on.

It's OK - you'll come around eventually. Sounds like you've never played GTA Online. Let me know and I'll welcome you with my jump jet

You obviously haven't spent enough time playing San Andreas.

Wild Thing 2000. Infinite nitros. Had so much fun messing about with that bike, didn't even care about winning the races.

GTA bored me. I know, I'm a bad person.

I mean, the running around free-form killing stuff didn't. I love that, but you can only do that for so long. All of the missions / scripted stuff? Yeah.. Not my thing.

V lost my interest before I even made it out of the first bit of "go to your house-now look at your closet- now talk to your "homie" (ugh) stuff.

I should try and get back into it... I paid for it... its on my PC right now... Icon glaring at me... But it just went on for eeeeeever and I Just. Wanted. To. Play.

Yeah that's the bike! Just found an online emulator for the game and played a couple of races (not with the cheat, just the crappy red bike). Brought back a ton of memories... and unresolved issues with Viper.

I haven't really played online since City of Heroes went dark. I want it back.

I'm biased. I've been a GTA circlejerker since the first one came out. San Andreas is probably my favorite game of all time (certainly top 3) and I loved GTA V . I equally enjoyed the missions and free roaming. But that's me ...

It's up there, but SA has the edge for me. Can't explain why, I just go back to it time and time again.

How long does that crap at the beginning of V go on for? Should I spend 30 mins trying to spacebar through it?
