Motocross Madness 2 in the UK

For all of you who in the UK who can't wait until Game and EB have MCM2 in stock on 23rd June, you may like to know that I bought it today from WH Smith at the Trafford Centre in Manchester for �29.99. I was so surprised to see it that I thought it had been released earlier than originally stated. I popped over to EB who said they didn't have it and that Smiths may have struck an exclusive deal. Obviously the only downer on the deal is that you can't take it back if you don't like it. BTW it is definitely MCM2 and not MCM. Cheers Phil -- GPL Rank: +75.31 secs http://www.youpies.co.uk

Phil - I think you have been dealing with a shop that sold you an American copy, which will not work on European machines. Cheers, Andrew Phil Lee wrote:

As a postscript to my own post, I would love to be able to tell you what the game is like, Unfortunately the CD was faulty and would not install with numerous file copy error messages. I've just got back from the shop and someone else had bought the other copy they had, so no MCM2 for me for a couple of weeks. Oh well, back to GPL I suppose.

Why won't a U.S copy of Motocross Madness 2 work in the U.K ? I have bought 3 or 4 games on import from the 'States and they work perfectly. > I think you have been dealing with a shop that sold you an American copy,which > will not work on > European machines.

There's a region setting in Windoze9x, that's how a PC becomes a European. Of course, most FPS fans in Germany have their region settings set to US to get around the "save-the-children-from-violence" program. l8er ronny -- "You're one of those condescending Unix computer users!"
