Is there ANY Porsche sim out there?? I would like to race a Porsche!

Thanks,

Marc

The closest thing to a Porsche sim right now is Need For Speed. You can
race
a Porsche 911.

Need for speed, But the porches tail wags like a dogs tail.

        There is some kind of Porshe racing game coming out...BUT it's by Sony
for the playstation. Here's what i got from Next generation<nov.96>
It's called Porshe Challenge, they got an official license from
Porshce which allowed for an "accurate representation of the boxstre,
both in terms of look and performance".The game includes Porshes' test
track in Stuttgart and "24 other circuits, split into 5 different
courses". According to NG sony has stated that there will be a 2
player split screen option....well, that's pretty much the sum of it.
The screen shots look good <light sourcing is very impressive>

Hope this helps

Check out one of those Sony Playstation magazines: I saw a preview of a
simulator around the new Porsche spider. Graphics looked _great_, so it will
definitely interest you.

 Marc:
        A fiendly piece of addvice.  If you love Porsche I wouldn't get your hopes up about NFS.
It's the Carrera2 not the Turbo.  Personally I don't like being passed by Supra's when I driving a
Porsche.  It just dosn't feel right.
        I do still think that NFS is the best non race track sim you can buy.  Hard to believe it
first came out on the 3DO well over a year ago.

My favorite Porsche 911 Sim is: My Pickup. Cornering on dirt roads in
Arizona simulates the famous "911 power oversteer" quite well. Of course,
with the truck it's easier to gather it back up. Kidding aside, Didn't
Accolade make a street driving sim, with which, you could drive Corvettes,
Porsche's etc...? Was it any good?
