OldFatGuy: Oh yeah, I used to read those religiously as I was a big fan of Sierra. Their Front Page Sports Baseball and Football titles still, to me, were the best baseball and football games that combined owning/managing a team and playing out a game with video action. Lots of flaws, but had they stayed in business I just wonder where those FPS sports titles would be today. The FPS Golf games were also good.
And the Nascar games from Papyrus are still, IMO, the best Nascar games released. I've tried so many over the years since, but when I want to race, I hook up my gas pedal/brake/clutch/steering wheel to the PC and turn on Sierra's Nascar Racing 2002 and off I go. (LOL, usually always drunk. It's the only drinking and driving that's ok, and believe or not, I've won several complete, full length races drunk as a skunk. (Of course, lost way, way, way, way, way more. LOL)
EDIT: Oops, sorry Elmofongo for the thread hijack. My bad.
I just got back from watching a movie (Transformers 4) so judging from the poor reception of this thread since than, all's fair.
