I just got GP2 in Australia and in the box was a promotion for
Microprose 'Track Attack'. It says:
Track attack- the game that changes everytrhing. Track surface &
shapes, obstacles, opponents, race positions, tactics, performance &
underwear.
Does anyone know if this is a GP2 editor??
Cheers
Steve
This is a completely different game, that has some sort of dynamic track
thing. I am not sure that its any good, though I really dont know I just
saw it in a shop a few days ago.
Cheers,
Ian

>Nope, it isn't. It's like an updated version of Stunt Car Racer [one
>of Geoff Crammond's 1st games], but it looks pretty dire overall!
A flight simulator for the BBC computer, don't know the name.
Revs for the BBC then Commodore 64.
Sentinel for the BBC and C64, possibly others later.
Stunt Car Racer for the ST and Amiga. Later for the C64 and possibly
Spectrum though he didn't write those versions, which is odd because
the ST/Amiga version of SCR was probably originally coded by Geoff on
a 6502 powered machine.
F1GP on the ST/Amiga, then later on PC.
F1GP2 on the PC.
So SCR was his 4th game which with a more prolific author would be
one of the 1st. Six games in about 15 years is not alot, but what
games!!

Yep, still play that - used it to learn Donington Park for a drive
in a Formula Vauxhall Junior.
I never had this, did I miss out?
This was superb fun on the ST - alas my ST broke some time ago.
The PC conversion, by some incompetent who's name I don't remember,
should not be touched with a very long pole indeed.
Strangely, I haven't been playing this for the last ten days :-)
The crowning glory!
Indeed - every one a classic (reputedly, in the case of Sentinel).

Strange how at one time it _was_ possible to drive using the keyboard
with no steering help! Anyone said hello to Billy Bumper & co recently
- Billy was always bumping me off the track <g>
BTW, is it possible to get hold of a BBC or C64 emulator to run Revs?
Completely different style. A strategy arcade type game where you had
to teleport around a 3d landscape trying to absorb baddies before they
absorbed you. Spent many an evening on it, but I expect that it would
pall a little now.
Completely agree. Superb ST game, absolute shite on the PC. Anyone for
a concerted "please write Stunt Car 2" campaign?
Interesting this one. The PC "conversion" is actually very much an
upgrade of the ST version (more graphic features & considerably harder
AI IMHO).
If only I could approach the times that some people are reporting <g>
I just wish that he would look at the competition once in a while. He
could have learned a lot from ICR/Nascar (just as Papy could learn a
lot from him).
