Dumb IndyCar 2.0 Question

Hey Guys, Sorry for a question that is both dumb, and I'm sure very old by now, but Ive been off the net for the summer and am dying to ask. Will you be able to play out of DOS or will it run only in some type of windows format. Sorry Again Bill Lang

Will you be able to play out of DOS or will it run only in some type of windows format. <<< IndyCar Racing II will have a DOS executable (.EXE) and a Windows 3.1/Windows 95 executable. The DOS executable will be runnable from Windows 95, but you will get the DOS user interface. The Windows executable has a Windows user interface. One advantage to the Windows interface: you will be able to go directly to the Paint Kit and the Driver Management app (new with ICR II) from the game.

The beauty of IndyCar 2.0 is that it is written exclusively for Win 95. So it should be even better than Nascar.

The beauty of IndyCar 2.0 is that it is written exclusively for Win 95. <<< This keeps popping up, so I guess I have to keep squishing it. :-( IndyCar Racing II was not written *exclusively* for Win95. In fact, it was written to be portable across many platforms with a plug-in for the user interface. The driving engine is shared across platforms and comprises about 60% of the code. The rest is platform specific stuff. Rick Genter Technical Lead, IndyCar Racing II/NASCAR Racing for Macintosh/Windows Papyrus Design Group, Inc.
