I've played one of the earlier versions of Car Mechanic, though I can't for the life of me remember which one.

However, a couple of weeks ago, I went and got another game. Airplane Mechanic. Which as I understand it will let you work on British airplanes of WWII. I say "as I understand" because, well, I haven't gotten off of the Sopwith Camel, as yet. But I must say that it's a good bit of mindless fun.

There are a few pains here and there, such as that EVERY job, so far, has involved refueling, something that gets tedious by the third assignment.

There is also the issue that a lot of things "overlap" in the "reassemble" view, which can lead to you putting on the engine cover with a couple of cylinders still unattached.

And then, of course, the "you have 10 minutes to finish the job" and something completely random to fix/replace, like a cylinder gasket. Tearing down the entire engine to establish the exact cause is not a trivial task, time-wise.

Still and all, the game is in steams "pay to beta" program, so a bit of clunkiness is to be expected, and it wasn't that heniously spendy. And who knows, maybe soon I make it to a Spit or a Hurribug. Just hope I won't have to keep refueling those...it is painfully boring.
