Microprose sure is getting a lot of free publicity here. I wonder if that's what they're up to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob Bruss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep. It seems they are getting a lot of bad publicity for free. -- Later, Stuart J. Boyle

ANY publicity is GOOD publicity...

Is it likely that any versions of GP2 floating around will have been deliberately nobbled to make them run slow? That would be a good way of minimizing the effect of any piracy of the show demos, wouldn't it. So, do developers do this? And that release date of June 28: isn't that a Friday? The game would be bound to be released on a Monday, eh? -- MarkN
Nope, for example Civilization II (also Microprose) was released on a Friday. I guess that maybe Saturday is the biggest day for sales? Ant.

You are right. Microprose almost always release games at the end of the month on a Friday, for the simple reason that that is when most people get paid :) ****************************************************** * "What ?
