Melbourne House was an Australian studio with a long and storied reputation. Established in 1980, Melbourne House’s first video game wasThe Hobbit, a text adventure released in 1982 that went on to be one of the most successful of its time. Later came Hungry Horace and the seminal Way of the Exploding Fist.

And that’s why, when driving a heavy goods vehicle, you don’t ride the brakes downhill. You select a low gear at the top of the hill and creep down using the engine as a brake.

There doesn’t seem to be a download option on Amazon.co.uk, unless it’s in a different place.

This reminds me of the first time I rode a CBR600 Fireblade, many moons ago. It belonged to a friend of mine and he let me have a go on it, and man it was a handful.

As for the “worst human drivers”, I spent ten years commuting 120 miles a day on one of the busiest motorways in Europe and I saw all of the things I described, and worse, every single day.

I actually like the sound of this. My six year old daughter isn’t a huge fan of burgers, but she does like hot dogs, which makes the occasional trip to Burger King a little easier for us and more pleasant for her.

I meant turn signals wouldn’t be needed to let an autonomous car know where another car is going - I didn’t say they wouldn’t be needed at all, and let’s face it, there are more than enough human drivers who never signal and plenty of road users who pay no attention to what’s going on around them that turn signals…

I think the idea is that autonomous cars will all be “talking” to each other so turn signals wouldn’t be needed - the car making the turn would effectively say to all the cars around it “I’m going to be turning left up here” and the cars around it will automatically take the appropriate action, plus of course the fact…

I have to say I quite like the way Audi’s indicators work...

That was a great read, thanks for that.

I bet that was the longest ten seconds of his life.

I fell out the back of a sidecar roadracing outfit once in the mid-’80s while traveling well over 100mph and rolled down the track into the haybales.

Hang on, wait - this is a hypothetical situation?

I bought this when it first came out and actually haven’t played it yet... Crazy, I know.

My six year old, Katie the Rocket Powered Fairy Pirate, just looked at those dragons and said “Yes to all of them”, then sashayed off to watch Dinotrucks.

If you wanna take it a step further, I suggest a JAZZ PARTY FUNERAL. Send out an evite to all your HIPSTER friends announcing the memorial party of Harriet and Milbert, and then they’ll be like, “Who?” and then you explain the story, and then hilarity ensues. Pass out steamed crawfish and icebox dinner rolls and GUMBO…

I would pay more than that to go to the cinema. This would give you the same amount of entertainment, time-wise at least. Would you watch a film and then ask for a refund because it was only a couple of hours long?

Toys? For children?

I like the fact these are meant to be played with. At this very moment, my 6 year old, Katie the Rocket Powered Fairy Pirate, is hosting the mother of all battles on the sofa with her cavalry, which consists of Halo Megablocks Spartans mounted on My Little Ponies, attacking her ten year old brother’s Lego fort.

As someone who used to do heavy recovery for a living, I can say that wrapping the strop around the suspension is, in most cases, a far better thing to do than using the “towing” eyes (which on most cars are not meant for towing at all but are actually meant to be used as tie down points for when the cars are being…

I am reminded of the time I owned a 1995 Mercedes C220, which had the reputation (so I am told) of being a bit of a rock solid beast, with one notable exception - it was fitted with a CAV “Epic” fuel pump.
