GP2 - News from Microprose

My local retailer saw a Microprose PR, who told that GP2 will be out: 1) 28th June, if they haven't problems (it's difficult...) 2) 12 July, if they have many problems (it's difficult too) 3) BETWEEM 28TH OF JUNE AND 12TH OF JULY ! They are sure about the third rumor. -- Paolo Zanetto

This info is up-to-date and accurate (at the moment!), I heard the same thing from........ :) Cheers!

Do both the above dates belong to the year 1996 ? :-) -- John Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do, doesn't mean it's useless.

That is far and away, and without a shadow of a doubt, the LEAST original joke anyone has tried to make on this newsgroup....

Ahhhhh, but John, you didn't answer the question! <VBeG> BTW - VERY VERY NICE monthly you guys are producing! Keep up the good work. Henry "Still trying to go faster!"

"Chosen few"?!?!? Hey, I went out and GOT this, it didn't just land in my lap. It would have been a lot easier if I hadn't had to write two months worth of Sim Racing News to get there :) Having said that, yes it is nice ;) Cheers!

One of the real John Watsons, but probably not THE real John Watson. The way this is going, apologies for the original post but I just got p****d off reading all the threads with various release dates. It will be out when it's out. Original post was supposed to be heavy on the irony, but the irony seems to have got a bit rusty. Must be the wet race practice that did it. -- John Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do, doesn't mean it's useless.

Jealously is a powerful emotion, I'm not at all envious of the effort and time you put into SRN every month and you can be assured it is appreciated by lots of people so you'll have to bear with us ... it's not easy to remain objective sometimes !! Still doesn't change the fact that for a while you are almost "one of them !!!!!" are you getting paid by MicroProse SH for all the good will and advertising you are giving the product ? (sounds like a good way to cover the expenses for SRN) Don't want to keep you from this months edition !!!!! See Ya Anthony.

That's for sure, it is a fair bit of work to make SRN, but we do enjoy making it. It is a bit annoying sometimes, but that's life :) In no way are we employed by or being paid by Microprose, nor did we receive GP2 from them (while it is a legitimate version, it was loaned to us for testing from elsewhere). It would have been nice to receive software updates from Microprose as "real" magazines have been getting, but that wasn't the case. That said, I have to say that the people we have been talking with in Microprose have been VERY helpful, and we have to thank them for their patience and help. Cheers!
