I just took a look at the Microprose Press release page at http://www.microprose.com/press_releases/ and theres a press release for GP2 dated today (16th May). It talks a lot about the game features we all know about, but doesn't mention a release date (surprised?). The press release gives telephone numbers for orders but I don't know which country the non-USA/Canada numbers are for. Does this mean GP2 release is imminent??? Is this an old press release that I've not seen before? Joker, if you're reading this, what the score??? I think we should be told. Pete ----

For Canada and international orders the number is: (619) 549-0222. Best, Joker[SH/MPS Support]

Thanks for the followup, Joker, but whats your definition of 'mid to late summer'? mid summer = August 16th? late summer = September 27th? Pete ----

I think, MP will release the game around Christmas 1996. Have you ever heard of a "TOP" game released in summer ???? Bye Holger
Civilisation 2, also by Microprose.....? It'll be here in the summer, being a British game, around the time of the British Grand Prix sounds good... Cheers!

Pete, I wish it was _my_ definition that counts, it will be right now! <g> That's what we're being told, mid to late summer, no definition. I'm sure the more we get closer to release, you'll see a specific date on our next announcement. Best, Joker[SH/MPS Support]
