are you guys kidding. EA's nascar 99 is the most fake simulator in the
whole world!
Id rather play nascar racing 1 than play with nascar 99 for a second.
how many of you guys agree with me?
come on....
the graphics in nascar 1 are still alot better than nascar 99
later

I actually downloaded that piece of junk (lucky I have a cable-modem :)

Agreed!

Well N99 have pretty graphics outside the car, but the***pit is horrible.
(no gauges from what I remember -- only 'raced' 2 laps with 1 pit stop.
I didn't lift the throttle once, except to pit!)

Ah, so others are having the low-volume problem too!

If I set my system volume high enough to actuall _hear_ anything in
N1999, when I start my system, it scares the cat and sends the dogs
running for cover.

Don't they test this stuff?

More importantly, 3dfx actually _works_. Even on NROS!

N1999 has slightly better graphics, and the 3dfx stuff actually _works_
now, but the overall performance is much lower than N2.

Nascar Revolution (or whatever it is) will be just as arcadish as the
demo is.

Nice sound, nice graphics, horrible realism...

Anyone noticed that you can crash in about 5 or 6 different ways? Like
if you hit the back of a car in the corner, your car always hits the
wall in exactly the same manner every time?

Is Nascar 99 any more realistic?

Oh, and what's with having _two_ Nascar simulators coming out at the
same time from the same company? I don't get that one :)

Absolutely...

Larry:

Yeah, the Russians who made it--tested it.
