Hi just bought & installed F1rs after confirming with the software shop ( Berlin Wall in Adelaide) if this would run on my P166 MMX with Diamond 2000 pro 3d video card(I said I would not take it home if it would not run) Guess what, it does run but in my eyes not usable. My T1 wheel will not work ( it works in all others) This game is ***& Berlin Wall is crap. Ok so I could pick up a 3dfx card at I am sure to be quite a few dollars. I just going back to GP2 at least it works ok.
A 3Dfx card is almost essential these days. Do yourself a favour and buy one. Then you will experience superb games like F1RS which, despite some little problems, blows GP2 off the park!

Terry, I'm always sorry when a professional in the business of selling software does not know what they're talking about. You really do need a 3dfx card. I must say however, once you see Monaco in the rain with the cars throwing a water plume off their wheels... you will never play GP2 again. Yes, F1RS is that good, coming from someone who has been driving GP2 course for right at two years. All the best, Mike Davis -- Michael S.

How much memory do you have? Are you running the Direct3D version? If you can afford to pickup a cheap 3Dfx card (Orchids seems to have dropped in price), then do it, because it will open your eyes and you will forget about GP2

Wow! another reader on R.A.S. who shops at the Berlin Wall in Adelaide. In my opinion on my K6 233 with 3DFX F1RS is the greatest game ever in any genre. I am sorry that you do not agree. I do agree with you that the prices of 3DFX cards in Australia is way too high with prices still around $350 I was lucky enough to get one from Hong Kong for about half that price. If the Berlin Wall is ***then what software shop in Adelaide would you recommend? I think the answer is going to be that they are all crap.

Want the latest and greatest? Get the latest and greatest! Your graphics card is a joke - just like asking the fella at the store if it will run.

This is becoming a little petulant, but er... the game was introduced in the Silverstone 96 Autosport special !!! I suppose we all wish that we had it in 95, but GP2 is *only* little more than a year old! Time does fly. Stanley > Sorry but it was Aug 95! Doesn't time fly!

I only have the english demo, but I have a question. In the real game do you have to reconfigure your controller every time? Thanks. -- Thank you Marc Johnson
On Fri, 26 Dec 1997 17:45:58 -0000, "Iain Mackenzie" >Sorry but it was Aug 95! Doesn't time fly! Wrong. GP2 was released in the UK on July 19th 1996. It was available in a few shops the afternnon before, but you're living on a different planet if you got it in 95 ;-) Cheers, Richard
