Is this the same as CMR 2005 or CMR Remastered?

[AlconburyBlues]

I purchased this thinking I didn't have it already. But it seems to be CMR 2005 in Steam. But the icon is the same as CMR Remastered. So which one is this?

no cmr 2005 is not on steam nor GOG anymore its only avalibale pysicaly

So I'm assuming that means this is the same as CMR Remastered?

There are only 2 CMR games listed on the developers site. "2005" and "Remastered". But this one here in Steam is only called CMR. So which one is it?

its Remastered there's 5 game in the original dirt trilogy

colin mcrae rally (1998) ps1 and pc
colin mcrae rally 2.0 (2000) ps1 pc | dreamcast canceled
colin mcrae rally 3 (2002) ps2 xbox pc | gamecube canceled
colin mcrae rally 04 (2003) ps2 xbox pc
colin mcrae rally 2005 (2004) xbox ps2 pc | psp (2005)

and then the is remasterd in 2013 ported here in 2014 to mac and pc its not as good as the originals

the name was changed later on to dirt in 2007

thanks for the info shadowspike. I already have CMR 2005 somewhere. That's why I originally wanted to know which one this one was.

And I never knew CMR became the Dirt series. Interesting.

BTW, still running Win7(x64) believe it or not. Being an I/T guy for 25+ years now, I've always had the habit of waiting until the 1st or 2nd major service patch comes out before transitioning to the next OS. Haven't really had the time for Win10 yet. Besides, most of the games I play are more stable on Win7 anyway.

good point i just wish i was on windows 8 or 7 right now

Make a dual- or multi-boot system like me.

I have 4 boot partitions on the same PC. Win7x64, Win98 2nd Ed.(yes there are still some great games that only run on Win 98 lol), Linux, and the 4th is reserved for Win10 when I get around to installing it.

You could also do the VM method. But it's not as pure and glitch free as an actual booting partition. Plus you have to have a crapload of memory for it.

i do use vmware windows 98 is a pain xp is fine and 95 is fine

[Shadowspike74]

i did have a real windows 98 shame we got rid of it

[AlconburyBlues]

Yeah I had the original NASCAR Heat with about 75 different mods and 250 tracks and it was a pain bc it would only install on your C: drive and only run on Win 98
