GP Manager

Anybody knows where I can find a copy of GP Managers in the SF Bay Area? For those of you who have played the game, what do you think about it?

It runs on its own but you will love playing WC/F1gp after you have frustrated yourself with Grand Bugs Manager enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Second place is first of the losers.(Ron Dennis) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Until GPM gets the bugs out, I would highly recommend the new sequel to Wizard Games' Grand Prix, called Grand Prix Wizard. Got my copy last week, and it's thoroughly enjoyable. The best part is when you enter the pits in third place and have a 9-second stop, you'll generally re-enter in third place -- not three laps down, as once happened to me in GPM. The game, while not as graphics intensive as GPM, has many, many new features, including track position, race day strategy and driver ratings in about a dozen categories, instead of just one general rating like the old game. The game starts with all the current f-1 drivers with their 1996 teams. Surprisingly, many IndyCar drivers -- Matsushita, De Ferran, Gugelmin, Greco -- also are represented (although I can't figure out why Jacques V. starts the game 32 years old!. But all in all, a fun game. Wizard Games stateside no: 1-800-487-4625. in UK: 0131-333-4958. rest of world: 508-658-2209. Ron K.

Does anyone has a max. FPS (30) in SVGA,with all details set to on and with max. number of oponents (~30) ? If answer is "yes" ,please tell me on what machine and graphich card... OK,it don't have to be 30,anything between 20-30 is interesting. Etc. I`ve started Indy2 on P133 with Spea V7 Mirage 2Mb card (acording to testers it is very fast DOS card,next to Hercules Stingray pro) . So,in SVGA ,all details on and (very important) with maximum number of oponent formulas I have a min. FPS=19.That`s realy min.,`cause Indy never goes under that,not even in city racing with lot of cars crashing around you. I must admit it don`t looks slow at all,in fact,it is quite playable,but,one could expect more from P133,eh? Any coments? Is it to slow for P133? Should I expect more? And yes,I am using UNIVBE 5.1a.
