I hate waking you from your dream but this software store has GOT to be kidding, I'm sure... I once saw Test drive 3 advertised for the Amiga, price and all the crap, but it never even existed. I don't trust softwarestores! You shouldn't! Just a hint... ;-)

Guess what I found while browsing an internet store...! You can already buy F1GP2/WC2...! I'm note sure if this is real but I guess it is because otherwise they wouldn't put it in their catalog... here is the text from my web browser: SPECTRUM HOLOBYTE WORLD CIRCUIT 2 Supplier: SPECTRUM HOLOBYTE Product: WORLD CIRCUIT 2 Platform: DOS Media: CROM Part number: IN380628 Supplier ref: 1-168-40 Our price: $ 46.47 I found it on http://software.net/.

Chris: I'm sure it's there, but you could also order it from Chips and Bits a year ago. Just because you see it advertised doesn't necessarily mean it's available. The last release date I've heard is October 2. ----------------//-------------------------------- | )/-\(_)|__ // "Dale Earnhardt's guardian angel | nightshade // sure is a good driver." -------------//------------- Benny Parsons -------

Hi F1'ers, GRAND PRIX II which will be the official game name as part of the WORLD CIRCUIT RACING series is not yet available. The mailorder company is just taking pre-orders at this time. Currently I do not have a definite release date for the game. Best, Quentin/Spectrum HoloByte-MicroProse "http://www.microprose.com"

Aah! thanks for the official warning...! God, I love Internet! Chris. -- Christian Peper aka Dreams Email: PAV B38, 21054, KPN Research, the Netherlands * Add standard disclaimer here *

anyone know any upgrade policies?

I would seriously doubt if Microprose would offer a upgrade deal from F1GP to F1GP2, as this would be pretty unprecedented if I'm not mistaken.(XCom to XCom2? Naaah!) I think the new version should be worth the money at which it will retail (as long as not more than 35-40).

Hey Nightshade!! A big hello from Jaybird...you know who.... ICR R.I.P and hope ICR II doesnt need a P7 to run it on full detail :) Just dumped Genie, dead as a doorknob there. Say hello to Trevor (TSW) for me.

The last release date I've heard Just to throw in my penneth. Microprose told me to wait at least 90 days before expecting GP2 to be out. This info was mailed on 12.9.95 :-((

Early this month, Microprose said the end of the month. There is an upgrade discount; it was something like $29.95 to upgrade. ------------------------ Bob Bruss ------------------------
