"Um, yes, his leg's broken, you'd better go and phone 999 immediately," she said. By the time she'd clambered down the bank in her high heels, another 20 minutes had passed, and Peter's face had gone a bit green. Tim's mum had suspected it was a 'practical joke', and had insisted on seeing the broken leg for herself before alerting the emergency services. The ambulance was on its way, then? Er, no, actually. Eventually Tim reappeared, waving, way above. Tim's house was the nearest, so he was dispatched to phone 999, leaving the rest of us time to hide the Montesa, and concoct a story that wouldn't get us into trouble. "My leg, my leg," he was yelping, and we could see what he meant: his shattered shin bone had pierced the skin in three places. We climbed down, and could hear his groans. If you really want it, wait 'til it's on budget.Looking down over the edge, we saw he was now spread-eagled at the bottom of the quarry, with the still revving bike beside him.

If you like your arcade racers fast and fairly undemanding, you'll be reasonably happy with Manx TT, but gamers looking for more of a long-term challenge will be disappointed.

You may not think this is a big deal, but when you consider that most of Sega's other Saturn-to-PC ports have been merely okay, this is quite an achievement. In fact it's identical to the Saturn version. Admittedly, this 3Dfx-enhanced version looks much better than its Saturn counterpart, but the gameplay is more or less the same.


Choose your bike, choose your track, and zoom around the track with all the other bikers. Bike racers have never done particularly well on PC, and this one is pretty much standard fare for the genre. How it will fair on PC is perhaps more questionable. It sold fairly well, but then Saturn owners aren't exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to class sports games, so we won't read too much into that. This game was originally developed by Sega for their fading Saturn console.
