I hate waking you from your dream but this software store has GOT to be
kidding, I'm sure... I once saw Test drive 3 advertised for the Amiga, price
and all the crap, but it never even existed. I don't trust softwarestores!
You shouldn't! Just a hint... ;-)

Guess what I found while browsing an internet store...! You can
already buy F1GP2/WC2...! I'm note sure if this is real but I
guess it is because otherwise they wouldn't put it in their
catalog...

Chris:
I'm sure it's there, but you could also order it from Chips and Bits a year ago. Just because
you see it advertised doesn't necessarily mean it's available. The last release date I've heard
is October 2.

Hi F1'ers,

GRAND PRIX II which will be the official game name as part of the WORLD
CIRCUIT RACING series is not yet available. The mailorder company is just
taking pre-orders at this time. Currently I do not have a definite
release date for the game.

Best,

Software places ALWAYS advertise early.

anyone know any upgrade policies?

by **Bruno Schleic** » Tue, 05 Sep 1995 04:00:00

I would seriously doubt if Microprose would offer a upgrade deal
from F1GP to F1GP2, as this would be pretty unprecedented if I'm
not mistaken.(XCom to XCom2? Naaah!)
I think the new version should be worth the money at which it
will retail (as long as not more than 35-40).

Hey Nightshade!! A big hello from Jaybird...you know who....

ICR R.I.P and hope ICR II doesnt need a P7 to run it on full detail :)

Just dumped Genie, dead as a doorknob there. Say hello to Trevor (TSW)
for me.

Just to throw in my penneth. Microprose told me to wait at least 90 days
before expecting GP2 to be out. This info was mailed on 12.9.95 :-((

Early this month, Microprose said the end of the month. There is an
upgrade discount; it was something like $29.95 to upgrade.
