10 Classic Games for Intellivision - (USA)
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons This was the first home video game for the Dungeons & Dragons fans. You traveled through a series of mountains and over rivers, all the while seeking out objects to help you defeat monsters. An early maze game, and it had nifty sounds, such as the hissing of the snakes and the roar of the dragons. Astrosmash This game was sort of a mixture of Space Invaders, Asteroids and Missile Command all in one. You controlled a spaceship that moved across the bo

Through the photographers’ eyes: Triumphs and tragedies - (USA)
The highs and lows of motor racing were put into stark contrast during July, and our latest round-up of the photography featured on Brits on Pole during the month catches the joy of victory, while reminding us of the price at which it can come. This was the month during which the triumphs and the defeats were overshadowed by the death of Henry Surtees and the narrow escape of Felipe Massa, both from head injuries. On a happier note, Craig Dolby, Riki Christodoulou, Wayne Boyd and John Lancas

The Chismillionaire sedan - Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed - (USA)
By Ron Kiino Since its introduction as a 2006 model, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur has delighted the well-heeled with immense performance, supreme refinement, and seemingly boundless customization. Naturally, for 2009, Bentley has done to the Flying Spur what any rational ultraluxury brand would do-given it more performance, more refinement, more customization, and, at $180,395, more bottom line. That sum represents the standard Flying Spur, which enters '09 with a new front fascia

Friday Fact - Frisbees - (USA)
Frisbees are a common sight at 4th of July cookouts. Here's their story: A baker named William Russel Frisbie, of Warren, Connecticut and later, of Bridgeport, came up with a clever marketing idea back in the 1870s. He put the family name in relief on the bottom of the tin pans used for his company's homemade pies. That way, when people finished eating the pie, they'd get a reminder of who made it. It wasn't long before the empty pie pans captured the imagination of bored Yale students

Your GT2 Corvette - (USA)
Well, Corvette Racing finally made the swan dive into GT2 racing today. What you’re looking at is the brand spankin’ new Corvette C6.R GT2 homologated after the ZR1. That means it will have the same wheelbase, transaxle and tire size as its road going cousin. The GT1 class has pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur—just the other week at Lime Rock there weren’t any GT1s—instead a new GT3 class of Porsches were substituted. That’s not to say there’s no racin’ to be had. That’s why Corvette is
