I'd like to purchase the original IndycarI Papyrus program, but Sierra has dumped it from their product line. Chips n' Bits carries something they call the Indycar Compilation cd, but I can't discover what the contents might be. I'm especially interested in locating the Indianapolis track so I can convert it for use with ICR2. Besides, I'd just like to try the original program as well....I hear it's a bit easier to drive.

CompUSA on Long Island, NY has been dumping ICR1 for $14.99 this weekend. As far as the Indy track, I've been looking for that one with no success. I've checked Sierra, and they say that they don't carry it any more. If anyone else has a source for the Indy Trackpack, I'd appreciate the information
This past weekend I noticed the original ICR in the Sierra Classics section of CompUSA for $14.95. This, however, does not include the Indianapolis track which has become very hard to find. You also mentioned that you had heard it was a bit easier to drive. I don't think so. Most people seem to feel that the original ICR was virtually impossible to drive without getting hit.

Earlier this summer I looked and looked and looked and...FINALLY found ICR1 bundled with the Indy expansion track at...The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Gift shop. They had a few left then...I don't know if they would still have any or not. IMS Gift Shop is not exactly most people's first thought when it comes to computer software SO they may still a have a copy or two. I don't have the number but you should be able to get it from information (area code 317). They have a mailorder section and also a trackside shop (open) SO you might have to talk the trackside shop into shipping it if the warehouse is empty. Maybe... AKH
It's available in the UK on the *** 'White Label' (budget) - so I would guess it is still being "pressed". I would imagine Papyrus sold the rights so it could be sold on budget, so maybe there is a budget label in the 'States that has picked it up ? John
