HASBRO, the parent company of Microprose are using the launch of Grand Prix
3 by Geoff Crammond to launch a NEW sports brand, so expect some heavy promo
near the release date.....In the mean time, wait for E3, its going to be
there, as will every other racing game in the world, so lets just hope it
blows the competion out of the water.

If you would have payed better attention you would have noticed Hasbro has
bought Microprose some months ago, so Microprose is actually still
publishing GP3.

So "World Circuit Racing" is dead and buried, eh?

Which is why he said "HASBRO, parent company of Microprose"!!!!

Here's what he's saying.  Hasbro is going to start a new label, and release
GP3 as the first title from that label.  All their sports stuff will be
under that label.

Hey this was my first sim & I still have it in my 1.44mg disk file draw!
Funny you mentioned it; I was thinking about "World Circuit Racing"
verses Gp2. No Comment!!

Microprose are actually going to distribute some Hasbro titles. Nowadays Company
A has an idea and or licence and some good programmers so starts writing a game.
Company B likes company A's project so they buy Company A and put in more
resources, and perhaps a better known name, to the title. Company B has money
but no distribution and marketing expertise. Company C then gets its slice and
name on the box by boxing and distributing the product. Complecated isn't it?
