The game plays in full screen so you could set up another computer or print out a map, but I think that's probably overkill, and hey, I think we all got a bit OCD about our gaming when we were 10 year olds, that's why we're here!

When you were talking about GTA, you mentioned there was no map. When I played the original on PSX, you got a big fold-out map in the box, I used to sit with it on the floor in front of the TV, and if I had a bad wanted rating, I'd get a bit angry, pause, figure out where I was on the map, by district names if I recall, then find the closest respray garage in radial sweeps. Then trace the roads to find the best route and then ultimately fail at following it due to shitty memory. Thinking about it, this seems like fairly strange activity for a ten year-old.
