Hi Everyone!

It finally happend: Formula One Grand Prix 2 is released in Germany!
The "Karstadt" stores allready have it, I held the package in my hands
today!
Unfortunatelly all other stores will get it on monday due to a special
contract between Karstadt and Microprose, but anyway: The waiting is
over, so drive to your local Karstadt or wait till next week and enyoj!

Who ever thougt that this will happen?

Why didn't you buy it?

Are you sure it wasn't another of those empty boxes?

Well, todays last boat to Germany leaves Gothenburg in 5 minutes.
Fortunately I can't make it. Otherwise I might have done something foolish!

This is great for Germans, but when will us Yankee Doodle Dorks in the US
of A get GP2?  If we are forced to wait longer than the rest of the
world, I'm emigrating!  If only there were Karstadt stores in San Diego!

Rumor has it that the unveiling of GP2 in the USA will be similar to what's
going on at Silverstone this weekend.  GP2 will be unveiled at the next F1
USGP.

Now, all us USA guys need is a F1 USGP... :-)

Well, from what I've heard from local retail stores here in Orange
County, CA is that it is either the 23rd or the 28th of July will we
see GP2!!

I don't understand why Spectrum Holobyte can't just release the game
worldwide at the SAME TIME?

Argh..

So, today is Saturday.
Do you HAVE the game in your PC working? I don't think...
I think they told you: "There was a problem: we will have GP2 the 19th"

But I'm only thinking... I'd be happy if you have got the game!

I just pre-ordered at a mail company. I was really near at doing
something stupid, too - what should I do with two copies... :-)

It's really true,

I had read the news about F1GP2 available at Karstadt shops saturday,
jumped into my car, drove to the next Karstadt shop in Lbeck
(germany) and it was there. It is a "Limited Edition" with mousepad
and it is really great. I have a Pentium 133 with Hercules Dynamite
128 and it runs with all textures without sky on and some textures in
mirrors with 18 fps. The feeling of driving is fantastic and the sound
is very nice. F1GP without steering help is very hard to drive, on
F1GP2 it works so much better. I have Thrustmaster T2 with shift
buttons on the wheel and the feeling of driving ist very realistic.

bye and many hot laps

It is true, indeed.  The Karstadt in Altona here in Hamburg certainly
has it.  After reading the news from this news group, I went there early
yesterday (Saturday, July 13) morning and found what seemed to be the
last copy left.  It is a "limited edition" with a complimentary mouse
pad.  I just grabbed it.

The trouble is, the new P166 I ordered two weeks ago has not yet
arrived.  :-(  But it is still a blast on the old 486DX4/66, running in
SVGA with detail set to automatic.  Needless to say, this machine cannot
do justice to the graphics, but the driving is so much fun!

The only problem I have is that I don't know German.  Why do they make
an exclusive German version while putting several other languages on
another disk?  I guess they must have their reasons.  I only wish they
had included English as an option, but that is probably too much to ask.
Maybe I should just start learning German again.  Or maybe anybody want
to trade?

Can't wait for my new machine.  Have fun, everybody!
