What?...the new N2demo requires a mouse?

Hello, Sierra, please explain something to us. Is it fair to those of us who can't afford mice be given a game that requires mice? I don't think so. I think you have pulled a fast one which was uncalled for. I mean sure, I plan on updating my system with a mouse but NOT UNTIL I AM READY! Now, to play the demo, I have to rush out and buy a mouse yet I am not ready to make a buying decision regarding mice as of yet. I believe that it does not make good marketing sense to exclude this huge market from the use of the demo. Something tells me that us strict keyboard users are being discriminated against. NASCAR 1 did not and continues not to require a mouse, why all of a sudden? We never got any preposted message from Adam telling us that we will need a mouse and he did not mention it on his allgames.com interview. In speaking for those of us who WERE planning on buying the sim in November, I think I will pass, unless of course, the shipping version does not require the extra hardware (and the expense). Just my .02 CT

How can you have gotten by for so long without a mouse? Do you only use DOS? Even so, many DOS programs and utilities require a mouse. I don't honestly think that having a mouse is too much to ask of someone. Nick _______________________________________________________________ #6 and #94 in the *real* quest for the Cup!

Well as long as it took you to type that silly little letter you coulda went out and bought a mouse and already installed it. their about TEN bucks. If you can't afford that, better not expect to buy the sim anyway. Seems to me your just looking for somethin' to gripe about. Thats too bad. David Gary

<snip> If you planned to run NCR2, you must have either a fast 486 or a Pentium/Pentium clone. In either case, what loser<bsp><bsp><bsp><bsp><bsp>company sold you that system without a mouse? All right, MAYBE the mouse you had broke? Maybe YOU never needed a mouse until now, but the majority of PC users have needed a mouse for Windows and some DOS apps for years now. (ie Autocad) I don't think it is unreasonable for them to require a mouse to use the GRAPHICAL menu screens. It's not like they required you to have a wheel and pedals which few can afford, or need for daily PC use. My 1.44 cents worth. Rick

I didn't see any <g>s in you post so I assume you were serious. You must be one cheap bastard to not want to have a mouse on your system. How can you even have the nerve to post such a stupid message? Nascar2 won't even run on your 386 pal, so go take a nap and forget the whole thing. I think I have a spare mouse around here, would you like me to send it to you? Just kidding, I would rather see you have to spend the $10 to buy one nickle***. Dana Bailes

Can't afford that... def. can't afford the game.

Damn, should have put that $.02 towards a mouse!

Geez...You've got to be kidding. A mosue is $15-$20. Go buy one and quit crying. Mike

You can get a cheap mouse for $10, probably less if you look hard enough. You'd probably spend 5 times that much on a game.

if he took his allowance his daddy gave him towards one, he'd have on in 1/2 a week. they aren't expensive.

Cheap guys like these don't deserve a game like NASCAR.

Ha ha ha, SUCKERS!!!!!!!! That was cool! My original post was nothing more than a spoof of all those Cyrix owning, 486 and low RAM cheapskate whinners who are a slap in the face to the hard working developers at Papyrus (pronounced pap-eye-russ, I learned this while listening to Scott at AGN-thanks Scott!). For the same amount of time I see wasted on figuring out how to add Nitrous oxide to the cpu, shooting up the RAM with steroids, and other dangerous methods, you could spend that time picking up a few aluminum cans. In no time, you would have the cash to upgrade and take full advantage newer game software. Question: is it really enough that the game just barely runs? Is that all that matters, even if it is very slow? Another question: Do you live the rest of your life "half ass"? Sorry about wasting any bandwidth and download time with this (should've been humorous) post. LOL, CT "Mediocrity is my biggest pet peeve"

This a joke right? Are you really using Win95 without a mouse?? (how do i know you are using win95? a post i just read from you where you talk about going out and buying more ram for win95) And now your complaining about the expense of buying a mouse? But having to have gobs of ram to run win95 is no bother to you at all. Just thought was highly wierd, and I'm highly bored..i just had to ask.

Let me get this straight.... You have a demo for a game that you WERE planning to buy that requires a Pentium, and you have no mouse. No doubt the game will come on CDROM (assuming you have one), but you have no mouse. You WERE going to buy the game (about $45?) but not a $15 mouse. Hmmmm... I wish I had such trivial things to worry about. Botch

> > CT > Ha ha ha, SUCKERS!!!!!!!! Its obvious that your under the age of twelve. learned what? How to waste people's time? Playing little dweeb games on the group will only keep people from reading what you have to say as if that were really important.

[snipped comments by our mouseless friend] : In speaking for those of us who WERE planning on buying the sim in : November, I think I will pass, unless of course, the shipping version : does not require the extra hardware (and the expense). Are we just trolling? If not, then you must be one of those people who driver their real cars without a steering wheel. You know, those stupid round things are just a gimmicky fad. Just an added expense to driving experience. What real man would drive a car with a quiche shaped device?! Just lean into the corner. Right? Having looked at the header to your post, I can tell you are a REAL man. Since you run Windows 95 without a mouse. You must have a fine set of balls to pull this off. My hat's off to ya! From poster's header: X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) Now get your hands away from your balls and put in on the mouse's ball case and leave us alone. -- **************************** Michael E.

Jees, does no-one appreciate irony any more? Maybe the guy should have hung out the big 'THIS IS A JOKE' flag first..... Anyway, I thought it was the funniest thing I've read in days.
