Microsoft has released the demo to there Monster Truck Rally game. It
is on there web site. All in all it looks pretty cool for a Win95
game. Cool graphics in the vein of Need For Speed which seem to run
very well even without a 3D card. On my P-150 oc'd to 166 I can turn
everything up to full tilt in 640x480 and get a very playable
framerate(propably btwn 20+23 fps). Definitely fun from what I have
played but dont confuse it with a simulation. My only *** is once
again I cant get my controls to work in Win95 which I think is thanks
to my SB32 PnP which is about to go away. Try it out if they can get
this kind of graphics without an accellerator I cant wait to see what
the 3D cards can do.
I have tried it to and it is actually pretty cool, but in no way a sim.
One of the nicest things with it though is that you can play it against
each other over the Internet. I wish that was possible with GP2 or ICR2.

I wouldn't necessarily call that a determining factor. In Nascar 2, the
"damage" you incur is hardly realistic -- you can never blow a tire, and
no matter how much hood damage you suffer, the aerodynamics seem to
always stay just dandy for 200mph runs down the straights. So, if
damage is just eye candy, why bother?
