NASCAR 2 is shipping as of 12/2/96

According to the Sierra order line it is shipping. They said I should get mine middle of the week. Also EB revised the release data on their web page today 12/2 from 12/6 to 12/3.

Cool just might get a call from babbage's hopefully, woohoooo! -- 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. Then he'll stand up and go, "Hey, I'm Vine Man." Jack Handey.

Sonna of a.... my local Babbage's is out of business as of last weekend. I hate it for people who had pre-ordered and paid for stuff. Closed their doors and didn't tell a soul. -- 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.

Same here....I go out to the mall last Saturday to check on the price for something and find that the store was closed and people were inside packing up boxes. I guess when that new company bought them out, they closed the "unprofitable" locations. I guess the competition from Wal-Mart, et al was too much for them in some places. Oh well, a new Circuit City opened up about 15 minutes from my house...I'll be calling them every day later this week to check on when they get Nascar 2. Kevin

Babbage's and Software Etc's parent company was sold at auction to Glenn Riggio (founder or Borders Bookstores?)on 11/25. Apparently they were unable to pay their debts and filed bankruptcy. Last I heard, the plan was to close stores that are not doing well. Don't look for any new titles to come in for awhile, the manager at my local store said they won't receive any new shipments until the debts have been paid off. Sucks doesn't it... David Range
