>Anybody know where a person can get the original Indy 500 from papyrus. >I mainly want it for the track. If there is a ftp like the Papyrus BBS >where they have the track please respond because I would like to know. You can not download INDY at the FTP site. You must purchase it through retailers, sometime type of "try before you buy establishment", or Papyrus directly. I believe through Papy is twenty dollars... julian The Man In Black Is Back!!

Be advised that several people have bought the original Indycar w/ the expectation that the Indianapolis track is there. It isn't, you have to buy it seperately (19.99) from Papyrus. Los

I found a cd-rom at Target about 6 months ago that had about 5 classic driving games on it, such as Indy 500, Test Drive 3, etc. It was about $15, so you might try to find it. Todd Walker

I have seen it at Electronics Boutique in the Dallas area. It's one of those $15 "classic" games, and should be with all the "old" games in the software stores. That came was nothing fabulous BUT it is a classic though! Dallas, Texas Home of the Super Bowl XXX Champions
If you shop around at places like WalMart, Office Depot, Best Buys, or KMart, you might still find "Indianapolis 500: The Simulation" in one of two forms: - a smallish box (like about 4"W x 6"H x 1/2" thick) containing the game alone on CD, labeled as some sort of a CD "Classics" collection, and selling for about $9.99 (though I saw it recently for $6.99) or - a bigger box, (like about 8"x10"x1") containing the game along with other racing games like Test Drive 3(?): The Challenge, Accolade's old grand prix game, Grand Prix Unlimited, and Stunt Driver (not to be confused with "Stunts"). In my opinion, only Indy500 and Stunt Driver were worth the hard drive space... I picked up this package for about $19.99. Be warned, however, that all the manuals are on the CD and must be printed out by the purchaser. I still like the old "Indianapolis 500: The Simulation". It was way ahead of its time when it came out, and what was truly amazing was that it was fully playable on my XT-class machine with only 640K RAM, a 10MB hard drive, EGA video, and the PC speaker.
