Where Are we going to find the time for these ???

I know all about Nascar Heat be sure about that David.  I just don't have
time to race two stock-car titles, whatever quality they both have.  I will
choose the best, and I'm absolutely sure N4 is aimed more towards me than
NH.

>Not to mention the $$$$$$$   ;-)

I count about 9 I'd like to own.  At average retail of $39.99, that's about
$360.  I need a paper route, or somethin'<g>.

I wouldn't say Heat is going to be arcade.  It is supposed to have a normal and
sim mode that should be competitive physics-wise.  The problem is with the 8
player network play.  I'd take 8 players for a F1 sim, but for Nascar that
doesn't cut it.  IMO.

>> Grand Prix 3   (Europe/Australia) Hasbro Sports  07/28/00

   Sincerely hope it survives the hype-induced backlash.

   Amazing that this hasn't been released yet in Australia, home of the
makers, Ratbag.

   Not a sim, but a management game.

   Will be excellent for dirt/oval fans.

    Arcade, but looks good.

    This could be the sleeper of 2000.

    Really, Indycar? CART racing?

    If you like dirt but hate ovals then maybe this one will rule your
world. :)

    I hope this is better than RC and RM.

    Arcade, and physics are apparently awful.

   Arcade.

   Arcade.

  Anxious to see what Ubisoft can do in the rallying dept.

  Arcade, but also looking good.

  This one too will have a lot of hype to overcome.

Marko;

  I knew that question would come up.  It is Paradigm's N-64 cartridge based
on the IRL.  NO PC RELEASE!

  I have seen somewhere that Ford is sooo Pissed at the lack of quality in
Ford Racing that they made them recode the whole sim for it's US release.
The trouble is...even if it now is a good sim, the bad word of mouth will
kill it.

DOH!  Um...I'll get back to you...
:::looking for pop bottles to refund:::
Actually, I'll probably only get a processor and mobo.  I don't need the rest.
