I found a single copy of Grand Prix II by Microprose at a Software Etc.
the other day for $44.99. It is my understanding that Grand Prix II has
been pulled from store shelves. Is it worth this price? I know it is an
older sim.

Thanks.

sounds a little high to me, but then again, you can't find it anywhere, so
it might be worth it, personally I love the game, and if you don't have it
yet, get it, you won't be disappointed.

I found GP2 at a place in Pasadena, CA called Interact CD ROM for $24.95

Just call the information number in the (626) area code area for their
number.

Also, they got a lot of imports you don't normally find here yet, like
TOCA, and others.

Grand Prix II is simply the best F1 simulator in the world. Other sims may
have more flashy textured graphics, 3Dfx, etc, but GP II has the most fun,
responsive, and accurate car dynamics of any racing sim today. The cars are
absolutely 'tossable' and respond like they should. I raced Karts in the IKF
for several years, and GP II is the closest thing to real race driving you
can get on a computer..

Buy it..

It may be old but despite the fact that you need a fast CPu to play it on SVGA,
it is still the best sim out there as far as realism. Plus with all the
patches and addons on the web it can be upgraded to the 98 season fully, tracks
and all.

Thanks

penny,

I had never had an interest. I'm now a fan. Buy this game!!

It really is a great sim, but the price is a bit too high. In Denmark I just
saw the same game for only $25.

YO, MARK!

EXCCUUUUUUUSSSSE MMMEEEEE!

HOW LONG YOU BEEN READING THIS NG?

Q: IF MICROPROSE PULLED THE PRODUCT AND YOU CAN'T GET IT ANYWHERE, WHY DID YOU
WAIT TO GET HOME AND POST THE QUESTION HERE????

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, GET YOUR AAAAASS OUT THERE AND BUY IT!!!!!!

Jees, it's just like my kids when they first discovered cake and ice cream.
They'd look up as if to ask, "Daddy, is it ok if I take a bite?"

sorry for the quick rant. thank you for your patience.... ;)

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but how does it compare to F1RS in
terms of racing "feel?"
