Welcome to the 1990's <G> MS

Do you mean 5 years 'cos that's the delay in which that bloke is finding old games, or 5 years cos' that's when GP3 might be finally released?

July 1996! After waiting all that time it came out while I was away on holiday in Spain! I diverted the family on the 200 mile drive back from the airport to a computer games store :) F1GP 1992 BTW - we have only had a decade of sims (Indy 500 1990) Tony "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hehe.......Thats what a hangover does for one. My apologies I obviously pressed an 8 instead of a 9 and as my eyes were still shut I didn't realise. Silly me!! It was definatly 1996 as I remember I went to the UK for Christmas 1995 and my brother introduced me to F1 GP on his ST. He then showed me the screen shots on the internet for the upcoming GP2.

(snipped) Doesn't "Night Driver" (1976) count? The physics were just a bit below GPL standards, though. :-)

Good on you mate! A semi-famous ex-Prime Minister of our fair land was once quoted (out of context, naturally!) as saying "Life wasn't meant to be easy". He should have added ".....until you've retired".

No way! Not 1986, I can assure you. That might have been when GP1 was released but definitely NOT GP2.
