GP2 download availability

Once GP2 is not anymore available in the shops, can it be download somewhere ? I only find patches and updates on the WWW. In the positive could anybody send the URL or FTP. Thanks in advance

No. He's serious. but.. you weren't, were you? I read somewhere that when the license that MP has expired, they would be forced to pull any remaining boxes from the shelves. Anybody back me up on that? >>Once GP2 is not anymore available in the shops, can it be download >somewhere >>? I only find patches and updates on the WWW.

>Once GP2 is not anymore available in the shops, can it be download somewhere >? I only find patches and updates on the WWW. In the positive could anybody >send the URL or FTP. Thanks in advance I remember reading a lot, some time ago, about the license of GP2 being expired. Funny thing is, though: GP2 is in the bargain bins here a lot, even advertized. Goes for something like $10.- If I didn't have it already, I would buy it now. :) Apart from that, I'm pretty sure that downloading the game from the net would still be piracy, even if it wasn't available in stores anymore. If a program isn't sold anymore, it doesn't automatically become public domain. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

This was the case but I think that when MP approached the FIA for a license for GP3 they also got a license for GP2 (budget) which is why it reappeared in a new box just before christmas (at least here in the UK) Paul Hoad

umm does this mean GP3 will have 94 cars and tracks again ?????? Or have they got two different licenses one for GP2 (1994) and on for GP3 (98 or 99 hopefully) ???? Ben Summers

Oh, yeah. Licenses are for, what, 75 years?

OK, do you guys mean that I got screwed over real good when I bought Grand Prix 2 from 4cds.com today? I thought that it must still be available from their website cause the price changed in the past week and my friend said that he's seen it in stores recently in New York...

GP2 is a _great_ game. You didn't get screwed unless you paid $100 for it :) -Larry > OK, do you guys mean that I got screwed over real good when I bought Grand > Prix 2 from 4cds.com today?

Then how come the game still hasn't come? I WANT MY GP2 BUT 4CDS.COM IS TOO SLOW! ARGH! They won't even respond to my e-mails! Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited

I dont know what this is like in the US or Europe but in Australia gp2 is on budget release and available all over the place? Honestly I got the 99 carset and 98 track pack and nothing comes close to it! For a game release in 95 this is saying something! ilmore

Where does one get this track pack and car set? Thanks! -Larry > I dont know what this is like in the US or Europe but in Australia gp2 is on > budget release and available all over the place?

4CDS no longer has it in stock, try R&G Games at 1-800-525-4263.

>Where does one get this track pack and car set? >Thanks! Try: [link lost in import] I just got the '99 car set and 98/99 tracks there, but haven't gotten the tracks to work yet. When I drive them, everything's all grey (looks like I'm driving in fog) and after a couple of minutes it crashes the game. Anybody have any ideas? I'm running in DOS and I did install the no cd patch. --- Jet Jaguar I have a spam blocking address. Replying to me is like pulling teeth.
