Ive tried 32bit Windows 7 with compatibility modes, Ive messed around with virtual machines and nothing seems to work.Despite my inability to play through the game again and feel as though I can write an adequate review I still want to talk about the game.Back then the electronics department was a small section in the center of the store that was stocked, sometimes overstocked, with no real sense of organization.
![]() Gearhead Garage 2 Windows 7 With CompatibilityI remember often playing the N64 display because I never owned an N64 of my own. The PC games were often just stacked up on a shelf, and some strewn about the floor. Thats where I found Gearhead Garage in a double pack with Sprint Car Racing, but it was Gearhead Garage that piqued my interested. I will say that even at the time I felt the graphics were a bit dated, they didnt look horrible but they just looked a bit dated. I didnt know the game was three years old at that point). ![]() Again the textures werent that great but you could take nearly everything off the vehicle in a realistic way and either repair, scrap or buy brand new replacement parts to put it all back together again. After a certain number of customers were appeased you were then able to purchase vehicles at auction to either repair and resell or to park out in the garage and show off. By todays standards of games such as Grand Theft Auto or even Forza, Gearhead Garage wouldnt be able to survive, but for its day there seemed to be endless fun to be had. Within the game your garage kind of ranks up and you will no longer have customers coming to you to earn money. Your only way of gaining income, and therefore unlocking further progress in the game, is to buy cars at the auction and resell them. No matter how hard I tried I could never earn enough money to progress, and so I just stopped playing the game. It wasnt until many years later that I found out there was a patch that was suppose to help overcome this, but even after patching the game I couldnt progress. Oddly enough their website is still operational: GearheadGarage.com. Gearhead Garage 2 Download The PatchThere you can find out all the information about the game, download the patch and get some tips for how to play the game. In the game the player would pretty much do exactly what they did in the original, albeit this time you were given a small adventure course to race after you built a car, but sadly the game was never officially finished. Will Gearhead Garage ever see a real reboot or sequel I highly doubt it, but at the very least I would love to see a version that works on modern PCs so I could at least play the game I loved so much again. Samuel loves RPGs, his favorite being Crystalis for the NES.
