So tell me...why is the game/sim Car & Driver bashed so much on the net? Yes, the sound sucked - to some extent - I mean, what does a vette sound like from the inside? I'm sure the growl isn't all there. It's biggest limitation is you need a 486 to be driveable (sp?). The cars looked good, the tracks are architecturally correct (no texturing however), you race against yourself so you should always have good competition on the track, never tried it but there is modem play, replays are good, and the car dynamics are the best to date (IMHO). So why? Reed These are my personal opinions.

-So tell me...why is the game/sim Car & Driver bashed so much on -the net? cos it was crap.:-) didn't notice actually - all car sim sounds suck really. -It's biggest limitation is you need a 486 to be driveable (sp?). I have a 33 and it was quite jerky. -The cars looked good, the tracks are architecturally correct (no -texturing however), No they weren't, you try building a race circuit out of 30foot sq slabs of FLAT concrete, - nice until you hit a corner (up/down, not left/right! ) Any one want to buy a little used copy? I'll admit the dynamics were good but there was no clutch control. Chris Coulson -- Wolverhampton University, England

No idea! I actually like it sort of. I definitely agree about the dynamics. I was delighted to almost feel the car. And you don't really need a 486. I have a very slow 386 SX and I could run it with minimum detail. The ferris wheel and all that were window dressing, who cares. Still... it does fail the ultimate test: Will you keep it on your hard drive... It didn't last long.
