Has sos1937 ever been patched ??

Hi, Has Spirit of Speed 1937 ever been patched ? Or was that bloody slow framerate caused by my silly 32mb ? :) I brought it back some months ago, but I'd kill to play it at a normal framerate... thanks! Bart

Framerate won't solve the playability issue, sorry. Jan. =--- Bart-W. van Lith <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi, > > <Snip>

Best thing you can do for it is delete it. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten mailto:[email hidden] http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ ----------------------------------- Bart-W. van Lith <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi, > > Has Spirit of Speed 1937 ever been patched ?

SOS doesn't need a patch, it needs a new approach Jens On Tue, 21 Mar 2000 02:06:46 +0100, "Bart-W. van Lith" <[email hidden]> wrote:

The tracks and the graphics in general have a lot going for them but physics and gameplay are desperately in need of work. I suspect we won't see anyone else try this era in racing for a long time if ever. Maybe they could sell the code to some up and coming specialty house? (Are there such enterprises?) David

I think the reason this has not been patched is because the same company had to run out the Toy Story 2 game. Most of the work in the game is getting the track data correct which has been done. Setting up the physics is quite a quick job but takes a lot of skill. I see no reason why the AI and physics can not be finished. Maybe Hasbro can convert the tracks and cars to work with the GP3 engine when it is released in the same way we have restored life in to the old Sierra products with the GPL engine. Heres hoping ! Otherwise the people who have spent a large part of their time coding the tracks and the people who bought this product in good faith have been very badly treated.

yep, there is a "Make this game good" patch "JS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > SOS doesn't need a patch, it needs a new approach > > Jens > > On Tue, 21 Mar 2000 02:06:46 +0100, "Bart-W. van Lith" <[email hidden]>wrote:
