Celebrating a Century of Steam on the Hudson River: What's in Store?

Next September and October will mark an important milestone in maritime history as steam navigation on the Hudson River approaches its centenary. To commemorate this momentous occasion, several events have been planned to pay tribute to the role that steam has played over the past century.

As part of these celebrations, four historic armored cruisers from Great Britain are set to make a special appearance on the river. These magnificent ships were once at the forefront of naval warfare and will provide an unforgettable sight for visitors as they navigate through New York City's busy waterways.

However, this article isn't just about maritime history or nostalgic steam-powered vessels - it also serves as a call-to-arms (literally) to all fans of action-packed driving games out there. For in 2007, the critically-acclaimed racing series Crash Time was born on PC platforms via THQ Nordic's popular digital distribution platform Steam.

Developed by Synetic Games GmbH, an accomplished German video game studio with years of experience under their belt when it comes to creating thrilling racing experiences that keep players firmly gripped behind the wheel. Founded in 1996 as Eutechnyx Limited (later rebranded as Piranha Bytes North) and later known simply as Studio FPP Sp. z o.o., Synetic has carved out a reputation for producing high-octane racing titles that deliver fast-paced action without compromise.

The Crash Time series itself boasts six adrenaline-fueled installments to date, each offering something unique yet unmistakably true to form:

1. Alarm for Cobra 11 - Nitro (November 2006): The original entry point into this explosive franchise.

2. Alarm for Cobra 11 - Crash Time (November 2007): Where it all began for fans of high-speed driving mayhem!

3. Alarm for Cobra 11: Burning Wheels (December 2008) aka Crash Time II; a sequel that doesn't disappoint in terms of intense action and heart-stopping stunts.

4. Alarm für Cobra - Highway Nights (November 2009): The fourth installment sees players take on the mean streets once again, but this time with an Australian twist!

So buckle up folks because next month we'll be taking you back through some classic driving memories as we explore more of what makes Crash Time so darn enjoyable to play. Until then, keep your foot planted firmly on the gas and let's hit those virtual roads in style!
