Of course, then there are those of us who have never bought a NASCAR sim,
but with the Track Converter available for GPL, I suddenly have need for N3
and NL, and $50 sounds like a good deal to me..............

Correction, it is NOT out.

You can order it, but it is not shipping yet.

However, you can go down to BestBuy and spend $50 to buy it, tonight.

Well, I for one am going to wait for the truck pack to come out by itself. I
have both the others already. I am not about to spend $50 just to get it
now. Sierra's marketing tactics are absurd. They are purposely holding the
pack by itself back to see how many people will spend more to get it now,
for more money with extras they may already have. I get disgusted every time
I go into Best Buy seeing that huge cube of really old Sierra titles
including..get this..Nascar Racing! Not NR2, Not Nr1999, Nascar Racing the
original! Talk about milking it. sheesh. No, I'll wait as long as needs be
to get the title I am expecting. Not other stuff I don't want in some
bundle. And no, don't even think of suggesting I order it from Sierra
direct. N4 might hit the shelves before I get it from them that way. Got a
whole pile of archived posts of people screaming of when they could buy the
product off the shelves before they got N3 and N1999 from Sierra directly...
Later. -Mark

A public that would snap up a dog like Swamp Buggy Racing probably
wouldn't notice or care. As much as we might want to complain about
Sierra, they are in business to make money, and the people who buy games
like Deer Hunter outnumber the true believers about a zillion to one.

More just looking to vent my frustration over the stupidity that has to
happen
for Papy to survive in this cutthroat software market that is nowadays.
Thanks for listening.

    And what about "Professional Bull Riding?"  What about the skydiving
"game?"  While I would LOVE to go sky diving, I can't IMAGINE how a game
about would be of ANY interest at all!
