Well I have been off the news groups for a while, but I am back now so
expect a lot more news from me about Psygnosis games.
All of our testing is done in-house by our QA department so I won't be
able to send you any copies out for testing, sorry.
Since I posted this morning we have now tested the link up mode and it
works very well in Grand Prix mode. I feel that we have addressed at
least 99% of the issues that were raised by customers with F1 '97.
As for G-Police 2 - it is still in production and when I have some
news about the game I will post it on here. If you have any questions
in the mean time then e-mail me and I will try and answer them for
you.

>How do you playtest a game then? Is it all done in house or do you send it out
>to PSX owners (I always fill in that card that comes with the game but never
>get any news etc. Always ***y Bank of Scotland or Goldfish stuff!!)
>So how about sending me a copy to try then :)
>Oh yeah, and any news on G-Police 2?

>> We have just started testing the two player split screen mode and the

>> haven't tested the 2x Playstation link mode yet).
>> As for the graphics - wait till you have seen it running then say what
