Nascar Racing 1999

10 posts by 8 people · 14 Oct 1998 - 22 Oct 1998

Does anyone have a release date for the new Sierra Sports title - Nascar Racing 1999? Their site claims October 1998 but no sign of a demo yet - sounds a bit dodgy? Cheers, Steve

I heard the 15th is the release date....By the way, many companies release the demo AFTER the the game is released to stores.

Ron, my question is, if there are only about 6 or 7 months left til NASCAR 2000, why haven't we seen a demo yet? Then again, I can't remember how long the GPL demo was out for, so nevermind. -- Travis Kallner mknight98 on TEN Driver of the #15 Unsponsored Chevrolet Monte Carlo in N.A.O.R.

I think GPL demo came out about 2 months before full version. If so we probably won't see a *demo* of NY2K till april <G>. Yes, I have decided that henceforth, Nascar Racing 3, now named Nascar Racing 2000, should simply be called NY2K <G>. That way we'll at least expect a few patches ala Nascar 2 aka Nascar 1999 Not to be confused with Nascar99 <G>.

That's 6months before the release of the title ;-) Of course, the Nascar Racing 2 demo was out just about 1 month before the release of it. So it's not really representative of the release date of Nascar Y2K like you said ;-) Of course, maybe we should bring Rick from TEN.games.simulations.nascar here for a Lesson 101 on the Y2K bug ?? hahaha ;-))) (NROS inside joke). - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

Followed by a lesson from you in extraterestrial Y2K preparations? <g> Have you not heard? This week is National Y2K awareness week. Clinton felt we needed it because 80% of small to medium sized businesses have not yet started on Y2K. Uh oh....you know what that means. Average salaried code jockeys working on antiquated government systems will now be in a position to profiteer their services in the "newly Y2K aware" private sector. One particular prediction put the number of days left till Y2K that equals private sector programmer's hourly wage was $360.00/hour. Look for a mass government programmer exodus to occur VERY soon, leaving Uncle Sugar high and dry with not *even* a single agency close to being remediated and ready for testing. Uncle Sugar will have no choice but to exercise it's authority given under executive order #11000 and institute a computer programmer draft to "save" our government from digital collapse. Don't take NASCAR 1999 for granted. It looks like it will be the *last release*.

Unfortunately, due to a previously unknown Y2K bug in the Papyrus development team, the game had been designed using cars from around 1900. They are working feverishly to correct the problem. >>Ron, my question is, if there are only about 6 or 7 months left til NASCAR >>2000, why haven't we seen a demo yet?

This may sound cold, but, after years of seeing my taxes go up so someone who doesn't have any interest in earning a living can eat better than me I am almost looking forward to y2k! Wonder how many months without the dole it will take for some of em to actualy learn what the word Job means, always asssuming of course that they can spell it <G>. Ron
