The graphics card on my IBM P-133 16Mb RAM Aptiva is ATI Mach 64 with
3D acceleration (2 Mb), latest ATI drivers, Direct 3D and DirectX 3.
After installation, I tried to run it but it says I don't have
sufficient hardware for the damn thing. Is it true? Do I need a 4Mb
card like those mentioned on the box? How big a market can Psygnosis
expect if that's a damned *requirement*, at least for now? They
should be renamed to PsyCHOsis.
Thanks for any advice.
Andrew.

When the '95 season in the game would be ancient history.
Agreed. That's the way how vendors keep us buying.
The link has expired.
Why can't they just get it right in DOS, like Rally Championship?
Anyway, thanks .

erm.....ATI Mach 64 WITH 3d acceleration? nope there's no such card out
there...the ATI Mach 64 is 2D only...ATI Rage cards are 3d accelerating,
though they're laughably pathetic. Methinks thou needeth to brush up on the
basics of 3d.

No doubt. I was hoping that DirectX 5 would provide bindings to
OpenGL, but I guess it won't since all of the developers who signed
that letter probably already have the DirectX5 beta. I have no doubt
that OpenGL is the direction that simulations will take in the future.
It really is a bummer that Microsoft won't realize how horrible
Direct3D is and just support OpenGL, since it is already a proven 3d
API.
Just a thought.

I feel sorry for you buying this piece of crap. The last thing
Psygnosis made that was any good was Destruction Derby 1 -- most
everything else has been ***ever since.
Oh well, I'm not holding out much hope for Thunder Truck Rally ...

I too feel sorry for you. I've heard the game itself is totaly
unrealistic and falls far short of GP2.
