Found a copy of Andretti Racing at an Electronics Boutique at a mall in Kansas City (while on a recent business trip) for only $5.00! I asked the retailer if it was used as the price was so low... He said, no... It's a new copy, that EA Sports simply dropped the price to try to move them off the shelves! Even though this game seems more of an arcade racer than a sim, I thought, what the hell, I've paid more than $5 for magazines (like Autosport, Wine Spectator, PC Gamer/PC Accelerator, etc...) It's certainly not the best sim around, reminds me of the IRL sim that came out at about the same time, although that game seemed to have a few more features (plus the option of racing Sprint/Midget cars!) Anyone know if there are any websites out there that might support it? Or if there are any patches for this game as it is a year or two old.... Thanks Jay J
Jay, Even at five bucks you were taken. With that kind of money you could've bought yourself two bags of microwave popcorn and a 2-liter bottle of Vernons. Alanb

Yeah. They should've given him at least $10...... WHAT??? He had to pay THEM? Oh dear Lord...... ;-) -- Ken's Sig 2.01 "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

Thank's "Gunner"! I know it's not a very good racing sim/game, but for a new (rather than pre-owned) copy, $5 was hard to pass up! Jay J

What are you talking about? That game won the award for most unrealistic lens flair effects.
