Imagine if the game would have been release for xmas like ICR2...

by **Mark Prin** » Sat, 22 Jun 1996 04:00:00

trust me, this release has a virus... it was most likely ripped from a
demo CD at some trade show a while back, and the guy who ripped it
probably had the BURGLAR.1150 virus on his system when he installed
it/tested it/whatever. The group that released this alpha ware is
virtually unknown in the underground community... so its probably just
some lamo who wanted to be cool.

If you are referring to the 21 disk version it IS out and it has several viruses
inside it PLUS it is VGA only and is dated almost 7 months old. I'd wait for
the REAL THING if I were you....

>>I'm affraid it is true. I've seen it on various pirate sites. I think
>>t was 21 1.44meg zips. I'm not going to get it because I've waited
>>long enough for GP2, I think I can pay for this one. Don't you just
>>hate it when the pirates get it before the legit paying populous?

>yeah but which site is it on? I want it now!!!!!
>The answers are there. You just have to know where to look...

21x 1.44 files? By the time I'm done downloading, the game would be out
and old. But seriously, polymorphic virus? You guys are so full of shit,
I'm amazed I'm even bothering to answer this. <g>

Why do people insist on slamming AOL? Just because there are a FEW idiots
there, doesn't mean they're ALL idiots...
There are jerks on Compu$erve, too.

I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

Can you please tell me the URL of the 21 zip files with F1GP2? Is this a beta version?
How do you clean the virus? Which antivirus did you use?
Thanks a lot!

I think iv'e got the 21 disk version that your discussing here, I got
it off a friend, but don't get too e***d, it aint that great. It
does however show the user how goddam brilliant the full thing is
going to be, the sounds are fantastic, (go out and buy a big amp!) the
realism is very good, the car handles just like i reckon an f1 would
8).. ie no steering under brakes (you'll get sore fingers keyboard
users), but on the exit of a corner, its just brilliant. The camera
views are very good, ie looking back at drivers head, front left
wing, each rear wing plate, airbox side views, plus the normal front,
back, tv angled views.
Althought the version I obtained is very good, it doesnt contain all
the new things iv'e been reading about in rec.autos.simulators, but be
warned people, you'll be needing one hot pentium for this baby.
But it really is so very realistic and so very good.

GP2.. its out there..
.. some ***y where....
