IndyCar Racing II platforms and Windows 95 debate
News that IndyCar Racing II would support Windows 95 sparked an argument over Win95 versus DOS, NT and OS/2, with some threatening boycotts. Rick Genter of Papyrus confirmed the game would release simultaneously for DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Macintosh, with no OS/2 version planned. A rumour of a delay was raised but not confirmed.

>game. Opinions?
They said that the game would come with DOS and Windows (can't
remember if it was 95 only or what) on the same CD. So, it'll
give an excellent example of how Win 95 can handle a game vs
DOS. I'd prefer the game to be runnable from Win 95 since
if games can run just as fast then it would be a huge
improvement over the current situation. We'll see...

Yeah, I think it sucks.
I do not want to win95 on my hard drive and would not have to if all
these games were not coming out for it. I may be saved if someone
writes a joystick driver for windows nt.
M$ knew that win95 would not go over on the corporate desktop so they
added all this game ***so it would at least go over for the home
user.
later,

They just lost another customer.
I hope, I will never need Windows 95 on my harddisk.

It should be great...no more terrible support for my sound card and
video card.

Do you think Ford wants to stay with 16 bit Word 6.0 or use 32 bit
Word 7.0? Microsoft has gone to great lengths to make sure win95
goes on the 'corporate desktop'.

For the cost of purchasing a PC and games like those from Papyrus,
you should also be able to afford a few more megs. The May '95
Insight ad shows most brands of 540MB drives at $200.

Nope. Never have, never will. Moving to NT 3.5.

spoken like a man who has never used Win95.
Gee's, have you ever even tried Win95. I guess your still content with Wordstar (ie-old outdated software for
old outdated systems running old outdated operating systems), though.

I've used Win 3.1, Win95 and OS/2 Warp....
Warp wins hands down for usability.
Contrary to what some 'experts' think in this newsgroup, WIN95 sucks. And
until you have tried other OS then keep your uninformed comments to yourselves.
Until you ***s stop buying into Microsoft hype, we'll be stuck with some
form of crap...

PS. Win95 will take a long time to make in it on the corporate desktop..

There is no plan to produce IndyCar Racing II for OS/2 at this time.

I heard that IndyCar Racing 2.0 is delayed. I would be very sad if this is
true :)
Can anyone deny/confirm this?

I haven't heard this rumor, but if delay means more improvements for
ICR2, I don't complain. I've been playing ICR for two years, and I
quess I'll spend more time with ICR2 so some delay in release date
doesn't mean that much.
Can't do that.
