Allright. I'm almost older than dirt as gamers go. My first video gaming experiences were on a Coleco Telstar Arcade circa 1978. It had a wheel, a light gun and a pong type controller.
Next - there was the Intellivision .... then the Commodore VIC-20 ..... Commodore 64 . ..... NES . ..... PC ..... PS2 ....???
And finally we come full circle - back to the PC. I skipped the PS3/ 4 gens since my computer has pretty much the same games but I can get them for around $5 on sale rather than $60 for the console version.
I like adventure games, puzzle games, war games, shooters, and yes - gasp, even some of the casual games.
I also love films and anime. A couple of 1000 blu-rays and DVDs as well as several 100 anime series take up the rear wall of the viewing room. My movie taste is very eclectic to put it mildly. I am not at all a fan of musicals but pretty much anything else goes.
I am an avid reader. A couple 1000 volumes occupy bookshelves all over the house and a few thousand e-books sit in digital readiness.
I LOVE single malt scotch... usually have 10 - 12 kinds on hand.
I also like photography, art, guitar, Cuban cigars, and fine wine - not necessarily in that order.
I love cooking... spicy flavourful foods top my specialties - great BBQing and ethnic foods like Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, and Mexican are amongst my favourite things to cook and eat.
I am also an avid board gamer - you can see our collection on BGG [boardgamegeek.com]. So between board games and video games, I am NEVER a bored gamer!
I have a lovely wife, a cat, and a dog. Life is good. Game on !!!

Well.... if you have a controller and like some arcadey racing which looks and plays well, it's def worth the $1.24 it cost me on sale. I think I will enjoy finishing this.

EDIT - on much further playing - this game TOTALLY ROCKS. For a demented adrenaline rush of awesome off road racing, this (along with Mad Riders) is my go to game on PC. The sense of breakneck speed and being on the verge of losing control is constant and you will have spectacular wipeouts and heart pounding wrecks with other riders and terrain features. The closest I can come to describing the sense of speed is the Burnout series from the PS2 era. I really like using the bike as opposed to the ATVs.

I guess I am amongst the fortunate people for whom these games run. The Comm pages seem to have a lot of disgruntled purchasers for whom the games do not work at all and that is a shame because they are a blast.
