I’m back to playing Colin McRae Rally 04 - mostly on desktop by I also finally took the time to set it up on a Steam Deck. It runs and plays great!
I love me some old rally games.

Hey! I feel like I haven’t seen you comment in a long time, I miss your write-ups you used to do on these posts.
I’m going to have to try Rally 04, I like rally games.

Man, I didn’t expect people to remember me. Uhm… hi! ヾ(・ω・*)
I’ve been busy with less fun stuff for a while and when I did play games it wasn’t for long enough to warrant a post unfortunately. I’m hoping for a more permanent return soon as I’m eying to start some titles that will fit this community again.
CMR04 is great! Still holds up really well, has a nice balance between arcade and sim in its driving model, looks simple but in a readable way and has a mod for widescreen resolutions on PC. It also has no problems on Linux which is a big win for me. Probably my favourite rally game of that era.

Oh shoot, I hope everything is okay.
Glad to know about both widescreen and Linux, those are both pretty important to me.

It’s not but I make do. You’d be surprised how well hobbies and lack of sleep can help with that! I appreciate the sentiment though.
Same here, it was a really nice surprise. I love how well so many old titles work on the penguin.
