Araon,
It is not true. MicroProse have no GP3 or any other racing game project
under development at this time. Stick to the "official" reports on the
MicroProse www site for the real news. The report has been passed to the UK
devleopment director who will be contacting the site about the inacurate
article soon.
Regards,
Mark Rich/MicroProse-Europe
Well Microprose why don't you get off your backsides, pay Geoff a
large sum of money and ask him nicely to create a 3dfx patch. I may
be wrong but us GP2ers would pay for the darn thing. GP2 is *the*
racing car game.

Why is it that the only time we hear from you guys is when you come out from
your caves to squash any talk about any future releases of GP2? What was so
wrong with that product? Was it not a profitable product for Microprose? Why
has it been dumped by Microprose? Why was it never updated in any way?
