Where is SOS Demo?

It's past midday on 21 October 1999 and still no demo at www.spiritofspeed1937.com despite assurances that one would be up by 20 October on the same site. Anyone heard anything? Chris www.geocities.com/MotorCity/6884

This really starts to***me off.... This game better be good... -- Sjon 'Pierce' Stigter __________________________________ ICQ: 3937030 IRC: Pierce __________________________________

Seems like we're gonna have to learn to wait for it eh? -- cheers (waiting) JV

Well we could run GPL 1.2 Err, maybe not just yet... OK, we'll just use the track convertors to convert all our NASCAR tracks to GPL. But wait, Francois and/or David N. haven't pulled that off yet... Or we could always tweak our setups with GPal. Hmmm... I'm starting to get good at waiting... :) "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

Anyway, it would be nice if they at least updated their website. I too get a bit angry every time I go there (twice a day, I have to admit :) and the text lies me bluntly in the face: "You will be able to download the Spirit of Speed 1937 playable demo from here by 20th October 1999." This *does* get a bit annoying. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

This is an address for one of the partners in Spirit of Speed 1937. Now I would never want to start any trouble <g> but I decided to drop them a few hundred notes and see if they get the hint. Ya know... if I tell one of my customers that I'm going to have something for him on such & such a date.......when that date rolls around, he is going to expect what he was promised at that time. And he's going to be more upset if I ignore him and pretend as if I had promised him nothing. Than if I explain to him why there was a delay.. my 2 cents!! DBH
