Re: what is GPL?

What is GPL? Grand Prix Legends is the most dangerous threat to families since the inception of fluoridation of the public water supplies. It is insidious. It is initially frustrating, then, just when you think "I can quit anytime I want, and I will", you find it has become fatally addictive. Even if you're no good at it. Stay away. I beseech you.

You're kidding right? Or have you been on Pluto since...when was it that 'IT' began...October 1998? GPL...Grand Prix Legends...the single largest focus of this group since the moment it came out. Hardest sim you'll ever buy, and most rewarding (as long as rewards for you don't include cutscenes and trophies but are merely the feeling you get from smacking down people in 1967 Formula One cars =) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Grand Prix Legends A simulation of 1967 Grand Prix cars by Papyrus and the first sim to feature their "new" game engine. Here's a very comprehensive site about the game: http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/index.htm Jan. =--- Lee Hon Chor (cflo) wrote...

GPL=Grand Prix Legends The common opinion on this newsgroup is that it's the best racing sim you can get. Personnaly I agree, but because it's a real sim you have to spent a lot of time to get it right. And that's why I prefer F1 2000 as a game (not as a sim), this game has great physics, and by spending only one or two hours a week you will be able to do some great racing. So conclusion: If you have lots of spare time get GPL, otherwise: F1 2000. BTW You should also try Super 1 Karting Simulation, this one really rocks!

It also stands for General Public License, which is quite annoying when you do a net search.... Phil "Lee Hon Chor (cflo)" wrote:

How about these: Exodus 20, v1-17 - And Sierra/Papyrus spoke all these words: "We are the LORDs your Gods, who brought you out of Pole Position, out of the land of dull driving simulators" "You shall have no other driving simulators before me." "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of any other driving simulator or arcade game. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; (especially if they have a crap physics engine or crap graphics)" "You shall not misuse the name of GPL, or utter the words of the devil, such as Need for Speed, Monster Truck Racing or (FX:Gulp....) Spirit of Speed!" "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. For six days you shall Practice, and hot lap, but on the seventh day, you will take part in a league race. On that day you shall not do any work, No matter what the wife says! Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." "Honour your fellow GPL'ers (especially Randy C and Dave K and Alison H) and your car set-up supplier, so that you may live long in the land of four wheel drift. "You shall not murder (anyone elses car set-up, or anyone elses Win-VROC race) Study hard and produce your own set-ups, and hold forth from the first corner carnage, for the GPL'er who waits, will surely inherit the race" "You shall not commit adultery (by purchasing another lesser sim)" "You shall not steal (anyone elses copy of GPL - Lest you have a cd re-writer)" "You shall not give false testimony (like lying about your fastest laptimes!)" "You shall not covet your neighbour's house (for the purpose of Ad Hoc LAN races whilst they are away on holiday - get his permission first). You shall not covet your neighbour's wife (at least not while he is looking), or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, (Eh?) or anything that belongs to your neighbour (unless he happens to pop around and leave his ECCI wheel in your study, in which case you can use it until he notices it is missing)" Or, how about the childs shortened version: Thou shalt have no other Simulators but me Before no other racing game bow thy knee Take not the name of GPL in vane. Nor dare the Sabbath day profane (even if you did mess up that hotlap) Give both thy parents Honour due (Sierra and Papyrus) Take heed that thou no murder do (Those backmarkers can't help it) Abstain from words and deeds unclean (Keep away from WinVROC novice races). Make sure that thou art pure and mean (No railriding please!) Nor make a willful lie, or love it (you did what time around Monza?) What is thy Neighbours do not covet (If he ain't got GPL why would you want it anyway?)
