On Tue, 12 Sep 2000 22:41:11 GMT, "Morgan V.

All >this season's tracks and drivers? Pardon me Hasbro? I'm not sure about the US version, but PC Gamer in the UK has a watchdog section, which deals with problems like these. They can get in touch with the companies who make these mistakes and ask for an explaination. It would be interesting to hear a reason, right from the horses mouth, about this.

Something I thought was interesting in the latest NASCAR Heat ad in this month's PC Gamer (US) on page 164 (it's probably in other game magazines as well): ..."(Oh, yeah, and all this season's tracks, cars and drivers...)". All this season's tracks and drivers?

ok..so they lied...what are we gonna all do...sue hasbro and say we didn't get pocono? sure, we could do it, but is it really worth $1,000,000 in lawyer fees? no.

The (german) box of NASCAR 3 read "including Trucks and BGN". It must have been planned for the initial release, but then they thought "let's make some extra bucks and publish an AddOn later". -- MeatWater ******************************* Webmaster @ LEGENDS OPEN NIGHT NASCAR racing at it's finest! http://www.meatwater.com/nlegends [email hidden] "Morgan V.

Yea, and in June when they bought the adspace and made the ad they probably were expecting all the tracks and drivers. Unfortunately Tony and the Pocono guys are pricks, whine to them, not hasbro.
