However at the moment I have a big house halfway up a mountain, in a national park, surrounded by woods, and I'd rather live close to or in a small-ish town instead ... we're hoping to put the house on the market in a couple of years, once all the outstanding renovations are finished.
I just remembered another one - the original Car and Driver game (way before Need for Speed 1) was a vector 3D affair that ran at full speed on a 386.
One of the courses was the San Dimas Mall parking lot - I worked out that I could use the "drop camera" command in one spot, and then it became a radio control car simulator since the 'dropped' camera followed the car being driven :-)
Oh yeah, that was often the easiest way to progress.
I used to be a bit of a Carmageddon nut, I think I have original copies of all the games (1 with the Splat Pack expansion was the best for exploration) ... but my old PC can't run the latest version at more than 1fps unfortunately :-/
Going back a while - Monster Truck Madness 2 was a great game of exploration if you just drove off in a random direction rather than doing that silly racing stuff :-)
The maps were big, and there was no time limit, so you could just go and do your own thing ... a favourite made-up mini-game was sliding around a frozen lake on the winter map.
A couple of weeks back I saw my boss hadn't eaten all her lunch. She said it was because her mother had made it, and always tried to give her too much; just like when she was little.
I replied that my childhood habit was to clear the plate every time, just in case there wasn't enough next time. She laughed because she thought I was making a joke, and then went really quiet.
My current car is an old heap called "Adventure Car" which earned it's moniker after I did a bunch of off-roading with it, expecting to kill it and then get something newer ... it not only didn't break but is still going strong 5 years later.
Many of my previous cars haven't had names, but all my motorbikes have.
Can confirm - LMDE is made for lesbians.
