Thanks to the guy who posted NL @ BestBuy

Thank you guy! I read your post, mentioned it to my wife, so she drove 50 miles down there, stood in line for hours on Christmas Eve and got it for me FOR 5 BUCKS! I never got around to buying it before and missed the Cheerios deal. The only bad thing is it won't recognize my split axis wheel/pedals. Is there a patch for this? -Tony-

There is ONE official patch but this was not an issue. Make sure you are using the directx joystick option not the papyrus optimized version. There should be a choice on the controllers option screen. dave henrie "Tony Jester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Is Nascar Legends a pretty decent game? Never had a chance to read or hear about it. I know that I quit watching NASCAR when all the cars started to look absolutely identical in styling and I couldn't tell a Pontiac from a Ford. As a kid I watched Buddy Baker (my favorite) and Richard (he won every goddam race) and so many others that slip my mind. (that happens a lot lately :) But when all the cars started to look alike, I lost interest. It wasn't a STOCK car race anymore. It was like a slightly modified IROC race. Then, you have the restrictor plates and I started wondering "Well, hell, why don't they just remove the crew chief and bring in a bunch of computer nerds and program the damn thing to run perfectly?". I'm a golf magazine editor so .... my opinion means about diddly. But ...just my take from the outside lookin' in.

It's decent enough if you're not expecting GPL/F12001/etc physics, much more enjoyable than N3 for me even though they used the same game engine, but with the lesser grip of those old cars it was more of a challenge to drive than N3 was, even had a few good online races with it <shameless plug> And then of course there's the 70's Trans-Am patch from "The Pits" which adds even more, so yes, at that price it's def worth a look Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

Anyone know where I can fiind a cheap copy of NL in Manitoba? Or maybe northern Minnesota if I have to? Tony Jester wrote:

If you're just wondering whether it's worth the trip to the store or the disk space (clearly it should not be a question of whether it is worth the money) download the demo from papy.com. In my case I decided that it was an interesting curiosity but not worth the time or the disk space unless I was really bored.
