Nascar2 code, not Papyrus.

Papy lost their Indycar license, and as such could not continue to sell
the game under that name. To keep ICR2 in the market, they decided to
change the name and repackage the existing code plus the strategy guide.
Why is this such a big deal to some people?

Once you play GPL you'll never want to go back the N2, 3Dfx accelerated
or not.

Keep in mind I played a non-optimized version of GPL on a P200 with a
Rendition V1000 and it was very smooth. I think by the time N3 is
released most everyone will have the CPU and 3D accelerator power to
support much more detail than is currently possible.

Correct me if I am wrong ... but doesn't Papy need a license from CART
to repackage the game under that banner? That being the case, why
couldn't they update it and release a CART III if they so chose?

If papy is so darn righteous on this, are they PAYING 3dfx to do the
patch? I doubt it ...
I can't speak for Soda, but N2 doesn't work? My wife would vehemently
disagree with ya on that one <g>

In any case, what does it matter? 3dFX patch is being done, I'm trying
to find NASCAR2 again on my hard disk, and noising up TEN about
letting us European's onto NROS to kick some US ***around Sears
Point ;-)
Cheers!

PS - Just kidding guys, I'd get my ass handed to me by anyone who's
spent more than 10 minutes with NASCAR2. I'm an open-wheeler at heart,
and can't get the hang of these buses.

Eric,
<P>I cant really disagree with you because I have not seen the game in
person at all... but in regards to the arms in the Grand Prix Legends...
I got the newest issue of Interaction and it has a picture of the***pit
view.. to me, the arms look like 2X4 and I hate it. Nothing more
than 90 degree long rectangles.
<P>I truly hope IF they go that way with N3... there is an option
to turn it off.
<P>Just my .02 of course and again, I have not seen or played the
game in person.
