In that, it's File, Save Snapshot. Don't bother using the in-game save options.

Ta, I'll give it a go

Want to swap it for a Renault 14? Low on miles.....

No thanks! I've only just managed to get shot of a Lotus Elan, I felt like that BL dealer on the North Circular with stock that hasn't changed in 15 years....

Arrow keys are numbers like RS says, in this game you'll only use 6/7 though (5 is left and 8 is right). Took me a while to figure out! I have to use the ones on the top strip as they don't work on the number pad on the emulator I use.Here's my personal tips for the game, seeing as this great game barely seems to exist on the Internet! It's fantastic how it has been unveiled to an audience who seems to appreciate it.- When you're setting the opening hours, take two days a week off and make one Wednesday (so you can go to the auctions), otherwise your missus will leave you and you'll eventually go off with stress.- Don't buy high-mileage cars, it's not worth it! If you get a part-exchange one, don't offer much, stick it in the trade stock and let a trader have it (probably at a minor loss). Never put them up for sale as stock, even cheaply they will be sat around for ages. By all means clock them, though. Just don't do it often or take them down too far.- If most of your days result in no people turning up, increase your advertising budget.- Try to stock a varied selection of cars at different values, this will give you the best chance of getting a sale, then you won't be turning away people who only have £500 to spend (a great way of recycling rubbish part-exchanges).- Keep a healthy balance between unusual/ordinary stock - if you've just got a load of Astras and Cortinas it's inevitable that the only people who turn up will specifically want Alfettas and the likes.- If someone asks for a bit of stock which you haven't got, try cars from the same make or of a similar configuration, I once managed to sell a Cortina to someone who actually wanted a Renault 11.

Damn. Haven't sold a car for a whole month. Serves me right for filling my forecourt with Granada Ghias, while all the punters want are Citroen GSs, Audi 100s and cars for less than £750.Great game though. Is there any way of making Fuse open into a bigger window?

I have stockpiled several Mk2 escorts which i am not selling. i am going to keep them in the back of the lockup until 2008 and then flog them to a bunch of overpaid accountants in the middle of a midlife crisis that want a decent shell to spend squillions on for 'My rally replica, okay ya'.

Hirst, that game is brilliant 8)

 

Ive been playing it for the last 4 hours and ended up broke when the recievers stepped in.

 

My tip - The Renna 14 does not sell quickly :cry:

 

Buy the XR4, you know you want to. All I was offered in the auction was a poxy 1.6L Sierra and various Montegos, 3i's and a Nova!

 

And this thread should be made a sticky, so as not to forget this game.

Three punters in a row have told me they dont like the Stanza's interior...No taste these people!

It was probably the bright red option... would've been fine if it were beige!In an unexpected but ultra-realistic twist, a total time-waster expressed interest in all 5 of my fleet, and even took one out for a drive, before making his pathetic excuses and running away. Tosser.

I wonder if there is a way of getting it to work on a PSP, it would be a great time killer when i'm on a nightshift.

Yes. You need to be a "leet hack0r" though, i.e. have a PSP with custom firmware. Then you can run a spectrum emulator on it.
