Was there ever a patch or fix for the Bill Elliot game. The joystick routines just plain sucked.

Yes there was a patch that improved it considerably. Not sure if still available, but its worth a call to them. Don't know what I did with mine.

You sent in your old disc, and they sent you a new one. I appear to have it (the new disc, that is). -- **************************************************************************** Tom Stangler | 86 Mustang GT, C/P Tidewater Sports Car Club, LTD

Plus you had to _always_ saw the steering wheel to keep on the ovals. Plus BE was easy to beat at Daytona. The revision makes BE harder to beat, plus the steering is a lot more stable. I've been playing it for the last few nights since the thread came up. Still a fun game, if a bit dated. Plus it is really smooth and not jerky at all. -- **************************************************************************** Tom Stangler | 86 Mustang GT, C/P Tidewater Sports Car Club, LTD
