Finally turning into the game I've been wanting

[Wykyd]

So this is finally becoming what I've been waiting for. It's totally a Gearhead Garage clone and I'm glad they did it. I played so much of that game when it came out. It seems that they have finally got it right this time. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed CMS15 but I believe CMS18 is going to be the one I fall in love with, especially considering I get to put my own cars into the game.

I have been hyped about this and I hope this game lives up to it. Saying that though if they improve on the greatness of CM15 even slightly then it will be worth it

A fellow Gearhead!

Can't imagine the amount of hours i put into that game. Nothing will ever be better than it, but CMS is getting close.

Would it still be possible to find this gearhead garage? And is it a steam game?

Gearhead Garage is going on 20 years old now so it's probably pretty hard to find. And it's not available on Steam.

I think you can actually find it on Amazon still. Getting it to run on Windows 10 could be an issue. Unless you have an old XP box. I haven't been able to get my copy to to work in a long time.

I actually do still have an xp machine lol will have to see if i can find it; I've heard a few ppl mention it lately on the forums for cms 18

Ah the old Gearhead Garage that bring's back memory's. I too spent an huge amount of time in that game. Had a ton of modded cars for it which I had downloaded. Alas with me only having Windows 10 can no longer play it, as a matter of fact I think XP was the OS that it would run on.

Yeah, they don't even have it on GoG, which is surprising and disapointing.

For anyone interested a link for Gearhead download on an Abandon ware site.

Hope this post does not break any Steam rules :(

I made a Windows 98 virtual machine just to play it.
