Maybe I did have the '99 version.  It had a Seat Ibiza on the cover if that helps.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I want to say that it was the '99 game, but why did it still have a Ford Escort?  The final European model year of the Escort was '98.  I think the game was a few years old when my uncle gave it to me in '06 or so.

Since I've bought two WRC games in one year I figure my next move will be another British rally game.  I wonder if Mark Higgins still competes in British rally.

Twisted 4 was probably the easiest Twisted game to play.

[Dead Video Game Studios]

989 Studios.  Didn't they make Twisted Metal 4?

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

That would be WRC 8.  I played a British rally game before that and used rally cars that showed up in GT games before that.

[Lego Games]

I've played Lego Racers in the past.  It's likeable enough, but it gets hard quickly.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I might have to check out 5 and 7.

[Last Game Played]

GT6.  I'll get back to playing WRC 9 soon.  Maybe tomorrow, but for now I'm enjoying the Lotus Elise Type 72 in GT6.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I used to play Mobil 1 British Rally Championship on my PC.  My uncle found a copy near where he lives and shipped it to me.  It was a few years old when I got it around '06 or so.  I think it was one of the final rally games ever to have a Ford escort in it as brand new car so the game must have came out in '98 or '99.

I got the Switch working again and can give first impressions of the game now.  WRC 9 is obviously going to be a lot like 8, but there are minor differences.  Citroen is no longer in the top division and the loading icon is a steering wheel now.  I still would want better leaf definition when it comes to graphics, but all in all I'm happy with graphics.  A new addition to the game is the WRC 3 class of rally car.  I'm still in Junior WRC so I'll have to tell you what WRC 3 class is like when I get there.

9 is also easier than 8, you're not doomed just because you're playing on Expert difficulty.  If you do play on Expert you probably want to be experienced with racing games, but that goes without saying.  I love the game so far.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I'm having more problems with my Switch now.  When I try to press A to get into either of my two games it won't do it.  If I press the down arrow three times I enter the screen that would let me into the game if I press A one more time, but since A won't work this won't happen.

[Last Game Played]

GT6.  I took a break from the Switch waiting for WRC 9 to come.  As a result I've really been into my nine year old copy of GT6.  I completed it years ago.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Thanks Shagger.  I'll check the cartridge for dirt.  Also I don't install games onto my Switch.  I just put the cartridge in and leave it there until I buy another game.  This is only the second Switch game I have ever bought.  I never had this problem with WRC 8.

Excited to hear your point of view on the game, since I agree that 8 has some weird bugs that they appear to not want to backdate and fix.

8 definitely has its bugs, especially when it comes to menus and money totals.

@Family sedan How's the game been so far? Haven't played WRC in some years now - I'm going to start playing more older games again when I have the time. I've been caught up playing the hell out of my Nintendo Switch and been trying to get into a few Overwatch 2 matches but the queue is ridiculous!

What's the best WRC game you've played so far killa?  Maybe I'll want to buy a copy one day.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

Update:  I received WRC 9 today and it won't play.  When I try to press A to get into the game nothing happens and then in a few seconds my Switch shuts off.  What could the problem be?  Also I've heard that 9 is better than WRC 10 and that 10 is a disappointing game where famous rally stages look unrecognizable among other problems.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I still live in America so it's U.S. dollars.

[I've just purchased WRC 9.]

I've tired with all the menu glitches of WRC 8.  WRC 9 will be shipped to my house in a few days.  I paid $52.99 on eBay.  I'll give my first impressions in a few days when it arrives.  Maybe I'll still play 8 sometimes.

[How old to start gaming?]

I was playing handheld games at age 6 or 7.  I'd say the first game a kid should have is the modern equivalent to a handheld game.  If they can deal with the handheld game properly, like not break it, I would possibly see about getting my child a console if I had a child.

[Last Game Played]

WRC 8.  After about 105 winless seasons on hard I'm playing on easy and dominating.

[Last Game Played]

WRC 8.  I haven't gained that much more ability at rally, but I still have love of the game.

[What are your thoughts on pewdiepie?]

I must plead ignorance to Pewdiepie.  The one guy Ill watch gameplay of is Kamakazegames.  I relate to him as a gear head and metal head from the states.

[WRC 9]

Thanks for the advice guys.  Actually, there's a store I forgot about two towns away.  I could look for it there.  This game is already a couple of years old, so I could buy it on EBay perhaps.  It's no tragedy if I don't find it real soon because I still love WRC 8.
