Hehehehe....this is NOT a flame. But what you ask for here is BLASPHEMY!!!!!!! No self-respecting rec.autos.simulators fan would willingly sell one of the GREATEST racing games of all time! ;-) To do so would be treachery!!!!!!! Seriously tho', if you can't find it locally, go mail order. I think Computer Express has it for around $48 CD version??? Personally, I'm gonna have my copy bronzed! :) +-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Scott "Coyote" Dingle | "Beware the fury of a patient man." | +-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+

.sig galore or what? I will have my copy of NASCAR bronzed, too. The manual that comes with it seemed so promising, a hefty 100+ pages maybe, but to my amazement I discovered it was a multi lingual shit-strike, no pics, no info, only fast and easy, really shallow worthless piece of make money fast kind of crap. I guess Papyrus, or *** Moneytainment, got some second-rate el cheapo company to scrabble it all down. "And no pics," said ***, "it takes too much space, and hence costs too much green stuff." Take a look at your F1GP manual or your IndyCar manual, those are really something, especially the former. I guess Papyrus needed so badly to release NASCAR before christmas that quality had to take the boot. The games business is sooo worried about all the illigal copying. One way to avoid this illigality is to make no short cuts like the one Papyrus (or ***) made. Another problem is of course the retail price which is overinflated in most cases because they don't deliver nearly enough. Papyrus makes excellent sims but they have in the NASCAR case forgotton all about the other side, the manual. They should have put a sticker on the game saying that since the manual stinks this game costs ten quid less. Further it should say: An updated manual will be available on Internet by FTP and at our BBS. You could also get the updated manual by snail mail if you register your copy with us. Have anyone seen the manual for Tornado, a flight sim that was published in 1993? It's state of the art, it's flight school for the wanna-be. What I am saying is that a manual is your guide into the alternative universe that any sim provides. The manual is there to make it more real(or like a fantasy). In addition to description of the actual sim, the manual should provide an all together summary of the universe you are about to enter and make you stay there. A manual should be like a stepping stone into the world it so dearly want you to be a part of. If the game is very good, like NASCAR, there is no excuse for making a crappy manual. A good game deserves a good manual, and an extremely good game deserves an even better manual, period. __________________ University of Oslo, Norway ______________________________________________ "I am your inferior superior." ----------------------------------------------
