  		 A new beta version of test drive is availiable at http://www.hillsideautomall.com/testdrive/beta.html
 It has a few new features like scrolling, damage simulation,smaller file size, new racing theme and a few optimized events. I'm still working on it though.

  		 look, take the hint, a game is a game and not an advert.
 
 if you're such a "VBGod", why not code it in VB and save us the bother?

  		 because VB is horribly slow at ... everything. especially graphics! :[

  		 I'm Confused.
 How is it a advert if you can physiclly play it? I thought an advert is a static image? Please explain why you think my game is an advert. Also could you provide suggestions to improving it please?
 Oh I like the bouncing smiley game, it looks cool!

  		 Because your game is advertising something. Adverts don't have to be static images. TV has adverts. Radio has adverts. Your game is an advert.
 
 I can't believe someone actually likes my bouncing smiley 'game' ;_;

  		 your game is blatantly endorsing  "hillside auto mall". that's an advert, fool.
 
 to improve:
 
 - draw your own graphics
 - make a longer course and more levels
 - use a custom car movement
 - remove any references to discount tickets, etc

  		 see my post on the game - i agree with pete and co!!! the game looks like it took no effort and is only there to advertise the garage - its not a game. look in the dictionary under game and i bet it doesnt say '10 secs of mild entertainement followed by adverts to a car garage ' its clearly an advert so why pretend otherwise

  		 Hmm.  Well yes, I fail to see the point in this advertising.  You've submitted your game to the DC, I've uploaded it to the publics eyes.  Thats fine.  But constantly advertising your games...its as if you think your games are really great or something.  I can't be the judge of that, as I've never played them X)
