Smug, Alan? Nope, sorry. I'm LIVID. I really have a problem with people so spectacularly
failing to do their jobs properly. The only people I'm concerned about here are the poor
schmucks who might have been conned out of £20 after reading your utterly inadequate review,
now that AP isn't there to tell them The Truth.

Clever wording on the 'bugs' thing, by the way. Cheers.

Er, I think they gave the A1200 version 80%, Alan (I'm only a freelancer, of course,
so I can't be certain). Your point being?

A lot of people hereabouts didn't like VK.. Though that may well
have been partly a reaction to the way Xtreme Racing was received.

What is the verdict on VK these days, ignoring what
anyone thinks of it's programmer? Do we like it? Or not?
I've no idea, I don't really get racing games..

(BTW, enough of these childish subject lines, methinks.
Once was amusing. Continually would be bad.)
