★ Landmark threadNASCAR Racing 2 ships in early December 1996

A poster insisted that NASCAR Racing 2 would not be out until December 18, while others cited Sierra's press release saying it would ship on December 3. Sierra's Jerry Bowerman confirmed it was shipping, and users soon reported buying copies in stores on December 4 and 5 and praised the game and paint kit.

According to a guy at Sierra and the man himself, Adam Levesque, NASCAR2 is being produced right now and they'll ship as soon as they can, which could even be late this week. End of discussion. RacerX

Would you care for some salt with that order?
Eric 03 Dec 1996#345719
Well Mike, you can read the press release when you log onto Hawaii, and it does state that they start shipping on the 3rd. Crow??
Eric 03 Dec 1996#345720
Well, like I said in a previous post, I called Sierra, (1-800-757-7707) and they said that my order had been shipped today. Now, that is not to say that the lady lied or was mistaken, but that IS what she said. If she is correct, I should have it by Friday at the latest, wouldn't you say? I'll let you know.

You people can't even wait 'til you have the game in your hands before you try to force feed the crow???? If you have it on or before Friday, I'll be pulling feathers from my teeth.

I can't wait to get my ride lookin better than it does in Nascar 1. -- The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe, but the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around until he's completely draped in it.

It is pretty cool here, but I have a copy here, today, Thursday 5 Dec, 1996. Purchased at a Electronics Botique. They had it yesterday, but I didn't have the time to go get it till today. That would make it available as of Wednesday. Hope you like you dinner.

I work for a software retailer in the SF bay area. Nascar 2 was out on the shelf Dec. 5th.
