Within the game your garage kind of ranks up and you will no longer have customers coming to you to earn money. My only real complaint about Gearhead Garage is that I always hit a point where no matter what I did I couldn’t progress. By today’s standards of games such as Grand Theft Auto or even Forza, Gearhead Garage wouldn’t be able to survive, but for its day there seemed to be endless fun to be had. 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. Again the textures weren’t 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. In the game I took the role of a mechanic accepting jobs to repair or fully customize vehicles for customers, which I instantly loved. (I didn’t know the game was three years old at that point). I will say that even at the time I felt the graphics were a bit dated, they didn’t look horrible but they just looked a bit dated. When I got home I installed the game and prepared to see what I had just bought. That’s where I found Gearhead Garage in a double pack with Sprint Car Racing, but it was Gearhead Garage that piqued my interested. The PC games were often just stacked up on a shelf, and some strewn about the floor. I remember often playing the N64 display because I never owned an N64 of my own. 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. 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.īack in 2002 Walmarts weren’t all flashy super centers and my favorite Walmart, at the time, was in White Lake Michigan. I’ve tried 32bit Windows 7 with compatibility modes, I’ve messed around with virtual machines and nothing seems to work. As much as I really want to review this game I simply can not get it to run on any of my computers.
Before mechanic simulation games were released annually, there was Gearhead Garage Virtual Mechanic, presented by tool giants Snap-On.
