Yeah, me too! My local software store told me that the release date was 29 September (apparently this came straight from the horses mouth, or at least a Microprose sales person). Mind you, I don't believe it because: 1. The original F1GP on the Amiga was scheduled to be released during September, and finally got released the following February, without much in the way of an explanation from Microprose. 2. Have you seen the screenshots? Every picture shows a single car in the middle of the screen, we haven't seen any "in-car" screenshots, or anything to do with pitstops or from different angles. This says to me that at the time of taking the screen shots, the game was a long way from being completed. I wonder when the screen shots were done? Mind you, I'm probably wrong, and if it does come out next month, I'll be a very happy man :-) Steve.

Did he mention anything about the game being a CD-only product? Kari.

I heard from a source close to Microprose that the release date would be October some time (early-mid). The also said that the screen shots were from develoment work from months back and that the product had advanced considerably since then. Chris.

>Yes, CD-Rom only, And I think there is going to be a World Circuit >II/F1GP2 Player Managment Software that works in conjuction with the game >from Micropose if I am not mistake !!!! The GP Manager game will NOT be interoperable with GP2, according to MPS UK/Europe.

When you see it will be released on the 10/2, do you mean the tenth of February of 1996, or the second of October?

: When you see it will be released on the 10/2, do you mean : the tenth of February of 1996, or the second of October? Sorry for the misunderstanding, the release date told to me by the Software Etc store here in San Diego, California is going to be October 2nd 1995...

>Sorry for the misunderstanding, the release date told to me by the >Software Etc store here in San Diego, California is going to be October >2nd 1995... I asked MicroProse (or Spectrum Holobyte-MicroProse as they now like to be called) about this last week and they say the release date is not yet fixed. So Software Etc are misinformed. I doubt a release before November is likely. -- Gizmo http://www.mal.com/~dgymer/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.
