To all who are interested, I have been keeping check, like everyone else on the continuing saga of GP2. I have a friend who works in our GAME store, and he has checked with Microprose and says that the 26th April is still the release date. They are also getting a few copies on Gold CD roms, of a demo of GP2 and will be displaying it in their shop next Tuesday/Wednesday 16th/17th, probably until the game is released. Hope this satisfies a few people who are still biting their knuckles in anticipation. Won't be long now!! :-) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Think positive..You can make it happen + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I contacted Micropose last Friday(11/4) and was told that the *new* release date is June, the guy was not even specific. And they have no plan to release any more patch for Grand Prix Manager. Personally, I NOW don't care when the release date is, as long as they make it good and with *very few* bugs. ---- Jide Oyabayo

The representative from Microprose at the ECTS in London today was talking about a June release date, with Geoff not having finished writing the code until May. The current demo version is apparently 95% complete, and very impressive. See my other posting for more details. Steve.
Hello, Well I guess the guy at my local software store is lying. He claims that he will have the F1GP2 game available the first week in May. They already have a couple of the software boxes on display with would lead me to believe that all they need to do is fill the cartons. Erick J. Davis

A lot of places have had those empty boxes for months now. They don't mean anything, other than that they feel it's okay to advertise products they don't have yet. Scott

-- I rang up Microprose (UK) on the 22nd April and they told me the game would not be for sale until the end of June!!! Some shops have said 26th April, others 26th May. I have a feeling we will see the second coming before GPII. Stuart Leeds
