Nascar 3 multiplay

A few new screenshots have been place at www.papy.com Notice the one about multiplayer options. It seems like Nascar 3 will make used of the servers used by WON. It's makes it a lot easier to find games. Well, it does when I play Team Fortress. So I think that's a plus. Philster

I have no problem with one cd per online game at all. But two things I don't like: 1. I liked to play multiplayer over my home lan with one version. period. 2. I hate things that simply don't install in one directory and are self servant from there. They don't need to be poking around with my system. It's my system not theirs.

I wouldn't mind putting each time a CD-Key code while on won.net racing N3. I really loved the idea in H-L. The tougher it will be for the illegal-*** community, the better we will be.

>I wouldn't mind putting each time a CD-Key code while on won.net racing N3. >I really loved the idea in H-L. The tougher it will be for the >illegal-*** community, the better we will be. The problem was the illegal *** community using manufactured copies of legit authentications. Wait till you try to log on with your store bought copy, and get rejected. =8^/ Tim

I don't know why people complain that much about the authentication and WON. I started playing TFC since it first became downloadable and nver had any problems logging to the servers. I don't know what the problem might be. Philster

All the 50 games I have have been bought and paid for (legally). I'm not a software pirate. Well, Half-Life was a Christmas gift from my girlfriend. She really knows me well.

Same old story: ANY copy protection only pissed off the paying customer, the warez boys never have to deal with it. I BUY a game, loose 500MB on my disk drive and still have to put in the stupid CD everytime I play. They don't pay, but they play... l8er ronny -- The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX! |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Virtual Drive will take care of that in most cases. It's pretty cool. -Larry
