NASCAR - Taladega in 99?

by Iain Mackenzi » Sat, 19 Jun 1999 04:00:00

I used to have great fun racing online with my friends in NASCAR (1) at
Taladega. I'm trying to take a break from F1 sims. Can anyone tell me if
Nascar99 is any good? As good as the original NASCAR (in its day!)
Thanks,
Iain

Wow well have you ever tried Nascar Racing 2 ?

Comparing NR99 to Nascar Racing 1 is both different world.  The game engine
is somehow the same, but the physics are much better modeled.  The graphics
engine is years ahead of Nascar Racing 1.  You have access to trucks AND
stock-cars, and the choice of over 30-something tracks.  And the multiplayer
is much better 1vs.1 than with N1.  You even have a NROS section, which is
the Nascar Racing Online Series, an official sanctioned Nascar series run
over the Internet with over 24people on the track at the same time.

I would suggest two things.  Buy NR99, or wait until this Fall and get the
new title by Papyrus, Nascar Racing 3.

GET IT!!!  Should be able to get around $20 used - $39-44 new.  I
HIGHLY recommend a 3Dfx card for it - it'll totally blow you away.
There are TONS of carset addons and utilities.  You COULD get the
Nascar 50th Anniversary, but it's worth the extra 10 bucks or so for
NR99.

NROS is really starting to get boring.

The last 4 times I've gone on-line, you get in a good arena, and then
all of a sudden 10 practice races start up, taking up all the racer
slots in the arena.

Pisses me off when people start practicing in the busy pick-up arena's
when there are a dozen empty arena's to practice in.
