Warp + Hardwar = lucky me :D

I can't believe I stumbled on a boxed copy of Hardwar!!

Q. What's that got to do with you?
A. THE SOUNDTRACK BY WARP!

BLACK DOG - Raxmus/Chase the Manhattan
PUP1 - Spanners
LFO - Tied Up/Shutdown
WARP38 - Tri Reptae/Second Bad Vibel/Second Scepe
WAP64 - Anvil Vapre
SQUAREPUSHER - Chin Hippy
WARP50 - Hard Normal Daddy/RAC Nine
WAP61 - Double Jointed

I ain't heard of half of that and the other half.. hehe cool
soundtrack if ever I saw one!
It's stuff from '94-'97.. nice :)

So what's Hardwar anyway?

Remember the classic open-ended space flight simulator and
combat/trading Elite by Ian Bell and David Braben?
Well, the sequels were not of the same quality, and it was
pretty much unanimously agreed The Software Refinery's
fantastic Hardwar was the true spiritual successor.
Unfortunately, The Software Refinery went bust, but the game
is now officially abandonware, so you can actually download
it free, although some versions are ripped of the
soundtrack.

I could go on and on about this game but instead check out
the links below.

(Here's a review, screens and link to download, plus it's a
great site anyway!)

I can't believe I found a boxed copy of this.
If you ain't jealous go see a doctor :D

Oh yeah, there's some Autechre on the soundtrack too!

"do you drive an escort or a capri?"

And your point is?
