I've read a few messages mentioning this game here. It's the old GP game with the crappy track editor based on tiles. Anyone here still have the game willing to e-mail it to me? Sounds like it'll be fun for 5 minutes. <vbg> Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrashes.cjb.net

Hehe, I have the origanol game floppy disk to it, and I can send it to me, but I must say, unless you have atleast an old 486, the game goes WAY TO QUICK just as a warning, hehe, it was one of those games, that when I was on my old 286 Laptop computer, I use to play on all the time, hehe. -- Sincerely, Mark F.

Just checked the closet. I've got it, original box and all though don't know whether the floppy still has any uncorrupted files on it unless I installed it. Can't quite figure out how to email the code wheel though.:) Yup, it has one of THOSE things; of unfond memory. Ain'tchaglad we've gone past them now. David
Wow, i remember, i've bought it, and F1GP from microprose was released, not long time after, i'd bring back GPU and bought F1GP .... :o) If you want to have GREAT fun with OLDER game , try 4D sports Driving !!!!!! Wow !!! The game is still playable ( not too fast ), okey, 3D flat VGA graphics are old but the game is still fun ( stunt race !! ) . The track editor is fun ! I remember i'd coded a Hill/Lake editor for this game :o) 4.75Mhz ) ( not 475 ! 4 . 75 :o) ) the game was running at 2fps , with NO opponents :o), and 6month after i bought a 486 SX 25mhz : what a slap in my face !! ( CGA -> VGA , 2fps -> 25 fps ) Hey !!! Somebody here !!!! Make a 4D sports Driving 2 !!!!!! We want jumps !!! We want moving bridge !!! We want STUNTS !!! :o) If only, my Co. wanted to do it .... -- ========================================================== Sebastien Tixier - Game Developer Personal web site : http://www.multimania.com/hclyon Company web site : http://www.eden-studios.fr Games Developped by Eden Studios : V-Rally 2 PSX/PC/DC : http://www.vrally.com Need for Speed 5 PSX : http://www.needforspeed.com/porsche ==========================================================

Can you believe that this excellent game is still on my hard drive to this day? I think it's hopped over four or five hard drives since its release. Did you ever find out about the built in terrain editor (Shift-F1)? :-) Martin Long Live Nigel Mansell!

I once bought a racing wheel from the local Radio Shack (this was in early 1994, I think) that had a game included. The amazing thing was, that the wheel worked by afixing your mouse (by way of an included velcro strap) to the steering shaft. (You turn the wheel, the shaft rotates against the mouse ball . . .). So bizarre!! Oh, and the included game (whose name I forget) didn't even "support" the wheel! Things have certainly changed. --DK

Ahh, don't worry, I got both pieces and a scanner, that'll do the job for one to make the wheel themeselves! -- Sincerely, Mark F. Director Of "SimGo, Inc."

Yes, i can believe it, i have also it on my hard drive :o) WHAT ! i've bought it but i've never see any documentation about this in the manual ! You mean, you can edit , montain and lakes ? Well, the other thing because i've made my own Stunts Track/Terrain Editor is because on mine you can see all the tracks on the screen ( 640x480x16 colors ). well, i've to try it anyway :o), thanks for the tip. -- ==================================================================== Sebastien Tixier - Game Developer Personal web site : http://www.multimania.com/hclyon Company web site : http://www.eden-studios.fr Games Developped by Eden Studios : V-Rally 2 PSX/PC/DC : http://www.vrally.com Need for Speed 5 PSX : http://www.needforspeed.com/porsche/index.htm ====================================================================

I think this is one of the best-kept secrets in all of computer *** history. I only found about it two weeks ago while speaking to someone at a video arcade! I always wondered how all the people who programmed a Stunts terrain editor (including yourself), would react to this info. :-) Hi-res (relatively speaking) terrain editor? Do you have a web address for that? Martin Long Live Nigel Mansell!

Well, it was so a pleasure to manage to hack the saved file that i'm happy not to found it :o) No, i'have only email at work :o( ... Anyway, i don't manage to make it works on my new PC ( it'was compiled on a 8086 with Turbo Pascal ). But it works on my old 486dx66. The sources are on a 5"1/4 disks and i don't have the stuff to read it :o( hmmm... let me think... well, i think i'm gonna make a winxx version :o) ... -- ==================================================================== Sebastien Tixier - Game Developer Personal web site : http://www.multimania.com/hclyon Company web site : http://www.eden-studios.fr Games Developped by Eden Studios : V-Rally 2 PSX/PC/DC : http://www.vrally.com Need for Speed 5 PSX : http://www.needforspeed.com/porsche/index.htm ====================================================================
