I'm sitting here thinking I should play something special to kick off the shiny new PC with quad-core processor and GeForce 8800. Opinions? I'd just jump into Gridrunner++ on general principle but the e-mail with the download link is years old and gone.

Solitaire.

Then install something that'll actually use all your cores. Database servers are good for that.

Spectrum emulator with a game of your choice. I recommend Trashman.

Make sure you update to Nvidia's new drivers. Complete with PhysX support built in.

I was gonna say why not buy GR++ again, as it's really a lot cheaper than a new PC, but the Llamasoft site seems to be timing out for me at the moment. :roll:

It's letting me through no problem, but I vastly prefer the GR++ Arse on Fire edition thanks to its larger screen area and faster pace. Plus I think I've got it stored on a disk around here somewhere, I just have to remember where.

Haven't played anything yet but am having fun getting various things configured and working properly. It's been worryingly easy so far.

Hmm, working for me now too. :)

I have the GR++ SE version for sending to people who send me their proof of purchase, so just bung me an e-mail and I'll send you back the 5MB zip file. :)

First game decision made- War Twat. It never ran right on my laptop and now I can see that it's a total bastard. :D
