![SLOWEST GOLF EVER! PGA Tour 96 [Mega Drive] video review @HarryYack](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ASdtFroMVH4/maxresdefault.jpg)

The year was 1995, and everyone was so excited about the Playstation and 3DO they'd sell their granny to even so much as try one. Amid all this hype, EA Sports attempted to launch PGA Tour 96, with its 'revolutionary' vector graphics, for the ageing Mega Drive.
Whilst this was indeed a bold attempt at pushing the console to its limits, the downsides were all too obvious for anyone who tried to play the game for more than ten minutes. After the initial 'wow, look at those fantastic graphics!' factor, players would soon realise the thing runs about as quickly as Geoff Capes in a fat suit on a rain-sodden Hackney Marshes. Whilst local kids throw wet sponges and rotten fruit at him.
These new graphical enhancements took their toll on the MD's processor to the extent it could take anything from 8 to 20 seconds just for the scenery to appear. The Spyglass Hill course in particular, with its ten million trees and bunkers, takes longer to load than Renegade on the Amstrad CPC464. Which is pretty long, and not half as enjoyable.

Your kids trading card game infected with terrible translations and typos worse than a Harry Yack video description? Better call the doctor... Doctor Aochider AKA Okada AKA Aochidyer! The game itself is somewhat vague about the standardised spelling.
Video split into four parts due to the whole thing being over an hour long. Note to self for future: brevity wins the internet.
In this part: 001 Incon to 026 White.

Why not to play this PS1 game on PS3!")

Requested by Fawltykog, its the definitive strategy guide.
Join Harry Yack as he re-visits this Amstrad classic in another attempt to be inducted into the Amsoft Hall of Fame. It isnt all plain sailing, as he soon finds the machine is rigged to pay out only 33% of the advertised winnings. He chooses not to complain, however, as he remembers he is under the age of 18 and is liable to have it all taken away from him.")

In a desperate attempt to channel the 80s spirit, Harry Yack goes all VHS on us with the TV Boys version of everyones (no-ones?) favourite hyphen-munching sim, Atari Pac-Man. Is it really as bad as they all say? Of course not, but its fun to exaggerate for humorous effect.

![Gran Turismo 2 [PSX] - A Reckless Life](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FCNDJ-bvKec/mqdefault.jpg "Gran Turismo 2 [PSX] - A Reckless Life
Gran Turismo is not *really* a driving sim, is it? I mean, it permits you to smash into walls at 300km/h and not only walk away unscathed, but actually emerge with an advantage over your opponents. For a great example of this, you need look no further than the original GT, which allows you to blaze around the High Speed Ring in a mega-souped GTO without having to brake and still win.
That said, its still a fantastic series. In fact, said failings arent always to its detriment. I certainly dont care, and will readily exploit them in attempt to even the competition, particularly in Gran Turismo 2. The computer loves entering cars over the BHP limit for any particular tournament and will ride to the finish line laughing heartily. In particular, the mega-powerful Ford GT40 can regularly be seen frequenting the 295hp Historic Cup.
All of which is fodder for a whole series of videos, but for now youll have to make do with me attempting to conjure some humorous quips on a selection of cars in the game. Oh well, at least its in pseudo-HD.
Regarding the closing sequence, in which I rammed the purple Focus into the side of the tunnel: because the computer AI isnt programmed to reverse and turn away from the obstacle, it continues to hammer the throttle until it wriggles free. As a result, the car spent ages slamming its front bumper against a wall and finished about half a lap down on the other competitors as a result. Bloomin eejit.")
