Well, kids...it has come to my attention that there is an easter egg
game in NASCAR for the PSX! I'm not supposed to tell what it is just
yet but for no I'll tell you...there is one....anyone found it? If so
just post hints...it kinda adds fun to try and find it and i must say
it is pretty easy to find once you know it's there....tomorrow I'll
give a hint....good luck kids!

Like I said...to each his own!

Alrighty then, i guess I'll throw a clue out to the nascar junkies out
there....you've gotta do something during the intro....
More later!
Again, if you find it...hint before you give it away. BTW It sounds
like there may be more eggs!

As iv'e posted in this ng before, I feel Nascar for PSX is well worth the
money.

Jeeze, guys! Easy there.
First off, it probably is a bad game for you, because it is a *sim*,
and sims often tend to be a little too subtle for those out there
really wanting Ridge Racer. You have to work a little at sims, you
need to put some effort in to them to get something out. And if you
really aren't in to that sort of approach, they will simply seem like
boring arcades. If you are willing to work at them, they provide a
depth of gameplay you simply won't ever see in an arcade game.
Secondly, if you don't like the "game" to begin with, why did you buy
the PSX port of it? I don't think it is a bad port; it is better than
NASCAR for PC in many respects.
Lastly, Papyrus is the grandaddy of racing sims, and they know what
they are doing. I will agree that they have some problems- primarily
in releasing virtually all products without adequate debugging (which
is especially tough for PSX owners, since there is no upgrade path),
but they never really release anything truly unfunctional or lacking
in programming depth. They are a good company. I am somewhat
suspicious of Sierra, however.

Well put.

Yes, it is well worth the money. Anybody in to racing sims needs to
buy this, and we should all be glad that sim companies are starting to
take the platform seriously. I'd love to see GP2 out for PSX...
already we have the spectacular Psygnosis F1. We need a solid Indycar
sim too- I know, Andretti racing is OK. But not great, and the fact
that I can't calibrate my wheel really makes using it sort of crappy.

If I wanted a software *sim*, then I'd get formula 1.
(if you think both are equal, then fine. It's a question of taste).
Nevertheless, the graphics are still shitty.
I didn't buy it. I got it free for review. I would have NEVER bought this game.
It's a bad port as the game froze on 2 different systems. This didn't
happen on our PC version and GOD knows that a PC can be configured much
more than a Playstation.
Of course "you don't think it is a bad port". Too bad you have no proof
except 'thinking' to back up your claim.
They seem to know less than Psygnosis (and this coming from the people who
brought us Lemmings, you have to take your hat off).
*sims* tend to favor realism than fun. I see no realism in NASCAR for the
Playstation. Unless you consider gradient grey as a perfect representation
of a racing track.
(not to mention dots as a public and flat shading for walls)
Nascar for the Playstation is a complete waste of money, a waste of time
from a company that should get back to the basics are hire some
PlayStation programmers and graphic artists.
The game will be a flop on the Playstation and the company will lose out.
Long Live Nascar 2.
