VU and Sierra *destroyed* all the good companies they touched. First
with Dynamix and now with Papyrus. Things always go in cycles, so maybe
the big corporations with cycle out in a few years and we'll go back to
some smaller, better development houses making their own decisions
again.

...it is a plan as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of
Cunning at Oxford University.
Yeah? I'll take that for what it's worth - a Norwegian's view on pop music
:-)
Let me see...A-Ha, one bit of Aqua, and?
(FWIW, Sabotage by the Beastie Boys is the best :-) )
So how do you like the 65's drivin' Eldred?

I do for off-the-shelf marketing and selling a commercial end product. But
for multiplayer, where the only long term development ever really survives,
why not just call it what it is ... stock car and open wheel racing, and be
done with all the licensing bs.
OLR grosses 10-15 grand a month off customer fees alone, not to mention what
they get from sponsors. And I don't see any NASCAR licensing issues coming
their way.
Even if it did, does anyone really care that it says 'NASCAR', or that the
track says 'Lowes'?
If two shmucks can make billions selling add space for a browser (google),
why can't someone make sense of what really drives online sim racing in a
smaller market.
It's not like creating a sim is rocket science at this point. What's out
there is so hacked, for a starting point anyone interested pretty much would
have, at the least, open source code to look at. Or an out of work c++
programmer available. Either way, it's no longer going to cost millions to
develop.
But it sure would get someone paid.

Well get crackin' man! You got a little gem there, just unwrap it! (nudge,
nudge, wink wink ;)
Seriously though... It's quite good! A great contrast to the 1967 campaign!

VUG is giving old games away (Tribes 1 and 2, you can download full
versions from Fileplanet). This isn't much different.
