CART Racing by Sierra - A Bargain No More...

6 posts by 5 people · 30 Dec 1998 - 31 Dec 1998

Just a heads up... I spied a brand_spankin'_newly_designed Sierra CART Racing box on the store shelf, and simply by habit, picked it up to have a look at the price. Strange...a bit light. Ah yes, they've gone and removed the swell book by Steve Smith, and at the same time not lowering the list price of the sim ($19.95). Shame, shame...All that money spent for new box art would have been better used for printing the guide. Cheers! Marc -- Marc J.

How is this game? I have a PII 450, with a Viper550, and a Monster3DII. Does it have any support for any of my video hardware. Is it a fun game to play. I seen that Microsoft's Cart is also $20. Which is more fun.

Cart will run in 2d dos or win95 which is buggy and slow etc and should be avoided. To get the nifty keeno wow 3d version to work tho, you'll need a vid card based on the rendition chipset. Neither or your cards have that. However, you could get CARt and use it for a track source for N2/N299. there are track convertors that allow N2 to use the CART tracks. Touring cars and CART tracks are quite fun. dave henrie

I run it under Win95 and have absolutely no problems and get frame rates in the high 30's all the time and that on a PII 266 with 4mb AGP card. Agree, and it's a blast to run "Champ" cars on N2 tracks, especially the short tracks. Paul
True, there is no more manual included, but there are 350 pages of it on the disc in adobe acrobat format. BTW, I just picked this game up for only $9.99. I wish there was 3D support for something else besides the Rendition. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Remember the good old 1980's, when things were so uncomplicated?

Acrobat?...Way cool.
