Screw Microcrap! Give Me Visiware!

Now I'm e***d, did possibly Micropose lose the rights to do a F1 Sim.  
The folks at http://www.racesimcentral.net/ seem to have what looks like an F1 sim
coming out Oct 96 which will probably be before Micro***gets GP2 done.
 I hope the Frogs at Visiware kick Microcraps ass by releasing the game
on time and having a superior product.  I think I'll play ICR2 until
Visiware is ready.  Jeff

"the Frogs"... Well, it's quite funny to read that, even if you've
already heard it. But I thought it was a good old story from my grand
father !

I'm sorry to tell you that, guy, but frogs are really good to eat. Best
for your health and for your taste than hamburgers, I'm sure !

Well, if one day you come to France, mail me a message. I would be
honored to offer you some frogs.

That cook and culture considerations aside, (please excuse me for my
poor english grammar) I am a bit sceptical. Why?
1 : a soft like that one requires, I think, at least one or two years to
develop (remember it's a new company, which certainly starts from
nothing - no textured 3D routines, which are not the easiest to make !).
2 : There's two types of games actually in the air : the 3D games like
Doom, and the racing car sims.

Ok. Imagine you're developing a game with extraordinary graphics,
moreover a F1 sim, and you'll hide it until two months before its
launch? No word in any specialized magazines (even french ones), no
demo, nothing? I hardly believe it.

Well, I am maybe too suspicious, but I don't believe just two seconds
that the game from Visiware will be ready for september.
Yet I would be really pleased! Imagine : a french game from an unknown
french company beats THE Microprose company on the last meters to the
finish line! Please, listen: the marseillaise !
