My first experiences with SC2 were toward the end of my elementary school, around 1995, before my family moved to another part of the country. I was like 13. Super Melee mode fun to play and the first thing that captured my interest, but soon after I decided to take a crack at the actual game. Almost instantly the Super Melee mode became irrelevant (I play it rarely nowadays), and in summers of 1996, 1997 and 1998 SC2 became THE game of my life, which it remains to this day. I really had problems finding my place in the new surrounding back then, and SC2 was a wonderful comfort...or maybe a distraction.

Like someone also said earlier, it was the first game and perhaps remains the only that caused such honest excitement. Truly brilliant and unmatched writing in computer games creates a live, important and almost tangible world. I love it!

Rumors sporadically circulate on the LFS forums. In a 2023 interview, Scawen mentioned that he had "looked into" the Metal API (Apple's graphics framework) but found the heat management of iPhones limiting for sustained sim racing. 🎉 Live for Speed is coming to iOS

However, with the release of the Apple Vision Pro, the calculus has changed. A sim racing game with VR support is a killer app. Since LFS already supports PC VR (Oculus Rift/OpenXR), porting that VR logic to Vision Pro is a smaller leap than building a touchscreen game. It is more likely that we will see Live for Speed visionOS before we see a standard touch-based Live for Speed iOS.

Developed by a single person (like LFS), this game focuses on rally and tarmac physics. It offers 60fps gameplay, dynamic weather, and a "Simulation" handling mode that feels remarkably close to the FWD cars in LFS.

If you own a gaming PC and an iPad (or even an iPhone Pro Max), you can play Live for Speed on iOS right now using streaming technology. This is the preferred method for sim racers because it uses the PC's computing power while utilizing the iPad's gorgeous Retina display. Rumors sporadically circulate on the LFS forums

How to set it up:

Pro Tip: Mount your iPad to a wheel stand. You can connect a Logitech G29 or Fanatec wheel to your PC, but use the iPad as the screen. This gives you a "mobile cockpit" experience.


Yes! I actually missed that copy protection when I saw it wasn't there in UQM Tongue
It was sort of a small challenge and a fun start for the game...

Very few games could give me such a strong sense of nostalgia and fondness... SC2 and Thief: the Dark Project were the ones where this was most pronounced (not incidentally, these two are the best games of all time in my opinion Cheesy)
