True
Maddeningly addictive, along with the aforementioned Kick-Off and Xenon 2. Operation Thunderbolt was ace too, I seem to remember becoming addicted to Populus and APB during the summer of 1990 when I was supposed to be revising for my GCSEs.

Had epic games of Super Sprint. They'd last days.

Fuck, how could I forget.
The daft wee tune in between races is burnt into my mind. I fucking LOVED that game. As you say, it was no big deal for games to last many, many hours. We had a system, whereby we only would upgrade 2 stars worth in each category, as the handling seemed to best, any more and the handling was shot to fuck.

Brilliant graphics, Bitmap Brothers i believe.
Also responsible for Speedball 2, which was the biz and Chaos Engine which looked lovely.
