I was really disapointed when I found out that Grand Prix 2 has no
kind of network support, not even IPX. This IMHO is a crucial feature,
and I just can't understand how Microprose could leave this out. I
mean, what other kind of game would benefit more from having support
for several players than a racing sim ?
Excuses about getting the game out faster etc. will not stick.
Look at the simple source code for IPX support in DOOM:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/.6/idgames/utils/network/ipxsrc.zip
This should be fairly easy to implement, even though there might be
some work involved in getting support for more than two players.
views on this, and I hope a lot of other people will do the same. This
will hopefully increase the probability of a patch with network
support. There is nothing to lose, but much to gain.
