I’m lucky enough to live in an area where there seem to be a load of car boot sales going on every weekend. Yesterday I found the time to go along and see if anything was worth buying.

Due to the recent spell of bad weather we have been having, the usually packed field was a bit quiet. However, I did pick up a few PC games that caught my eye…

• Glover – I’ve only played a friends copy of this very briefly.  It’s a kind of 3D platformer with a Mario 64 graphical feel to it.
• TFX – I remember the whole publisher fuss made when this was first developed for the Amiga.  It was finally released by CU Amiga magazine, but I never had an Amiga that was powerful enough to play it. Let’s see what the PC version is like.
• The Dig – A classic LucasArts adventure that I have never played.  I have never heard anyone say anything bad about this game.
• Daikatana – A overly hyped and apparently very bad game, or so the press claimed at the time of release.  I’ve only ever played a single map death-match demo of this, so it will be interesting to see what it’s like.

They should keep me busy for a few hours, anyway.
