Nascar2 Upgrade

by John J Par » Thu, 28 Nov 1996 04:00:00

Hello again,

I had just stuck a note here about a Nascar2 upgrade offer in which I said
that the operator told me it would be out Dec 5. Afterwards I read someone
else note which said they were told late Jan. I called Sierra back and a
different operator, after saying "It's already out...oh wait you want Nascar2
not Indycar2, right?" He comfirmed that it now has been moved to a late
January release.

Sorry about the incorrect release date before. Guess even the people at Sierra
don't know exactly what going on.(no surprise)

Marc at SRN stated that N2 had gone to the printer and should be on the
shelf by the end of next week. When queried, he said he had an inside
ear. Good enough for me.

 ahhh....the confusion one company can cause. In todays paper (thursday)
there were two stores (Best Buy and Comp USA) that advertised Nascar2.
CompUSA was for 39.95 and Best Buy was 29.95. Guess I'll be calling Best Buy
in the morning and other stores that will match their price. Even if it
isn't in I should be able to get them to commit to the price (29.95) in
writing for when it is released. This beats Sierra's 'upgrade' price since I
don't have to add $8 for shipping.

Oh...and Sierra...How about getting your operaters together so they can get
their stories straight. Depending on what operator you get you hear any of
three or four different release dates.

I'm sending a letter to Sierra I'll post the response when (and if) they
respond.

Adam, there is a lot of talk good and bad here. How 'bout filling inthe
gaps with the real story so this matter can be laid to rest.

The offer on the upgrade expires 12/31/96.  I wonder how they will deal
with that.  Oh and they still give you the option of getting it 2nd Day
Air <G>.  If I knew that upgrade copies would be shipped before the
stores get theirs, I'd order it from Sierra, but I'd be afraid the
stores would get theirs and 2 weeks later, I'd get mine.

BTW, the system requirements listed on the upgrade flyer was 486-66 with
12 MB memory.  BUT, if you want to run SVGA you will have to have a
Pentium 75.  I personally don't see anyone running NCR2 in VGA.
