This game almost made me mentally insane.
There was a time when I percieved everything around me as a Lemmings level and was trying to find ways to beat it in my head.
I guess you can play too much Lemmings as a kid.

Speaking of which, anyone got recommendations on the best version to play these days?
I got the PC version working and uding DGVoodoo you can get nice high res widescreen graphics, but it's missing a lot of the features of the PS1 version, most notably the virtual cockpit controls and the analogue pad support..
Guess I've probably answered my own question, but interested to see if anyone already grappled with it.

I can't remember them having any masterpieces.

It's a British publisher and all of their games feel like shitty eurotrash. Everything bad you could think of about retro euro game design has been published by them, but they probably have a few gems.

It was considered one of the best F1 games ever for its time, but like most old simulation type games it's likely been very much surpassed.

I have very fond memories of playing Novastorm on PC (DOS) with a Gravis Joystick. Just looked it up, I didn't know Novastorm had segaCD and Playstation releases also. I really want to try the segaCD version now.

The Wipeout games were alright and Colony Wars was okay for a console space sim but most of their stuff was complete Eurotrash, especially their Amiga-era output.

They made a lot of cool stuff. Not for everyone but Brataccas has a special place in my heart. Their box art was wonderful. How ironic that they could probably make in-game shots look like their box art now.
