Don't feel bad, Bob -- Wizard Works (the publisher of the original DTR) stung ME when I picked up a copy of their "Swamp Buggy Racing" title, hoping for some good grins. Unfortunately, the best thing about SBR is the intro music. :-( Just goes to show you that it's the developer, and not the publisher, who really makes the difference in most cases! -- JB In article <%j6h5.5718$[email hidden]>, "Bob Thurman" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Sorry for the previous messages, but it seems that the Spring CarRacing > I bought has nothing to do with Ratbag.

Sorry for the previous messages, but it seems that the Spring Car Racing I bought has nothing to do with Ratbag. I got fooled by lookalike packaging. Hopefully this will keep others from doing likewise! buzard

Everything that WizardWorks publishes sucks badly, except for DTR. I guess that no other publisher was interested.

There is none. Head Games doesn't give any info on their site (I guess they didn't want anybody to see how bad it sucked). On Mon, 31 Jul 2000 10:57:37 -0500, "Rod Smelser" <[email hidden]> wrote:

If there was one thing good about these games, I would say it's the weather they have. When it rains, it is a friggin monsoon! You can't see three feet in front of you.
