HAHAHAHA, GP3....yeah right. I took them 4 years to come out with GP2 and they still used the GP1 graphics engine. Microprose / Spectrum Holobyte did a great job with AI, but sucked in almost everything else, mainly, customer service. We begged for a patch and they just ignored us and told us to***off. GP2 had potential to be such a great game for decades, and was a great game for a long time, but now....it is fading away, collecting dust, right along with Bill Elliots Nascar and Indy 500. Now if they only would have finished the game before releasing by Xmas time to get a quick buck. Seems they didnt care about what we wanted back them and still dont now. Look at Falcon 4....HA! what a joke. Did you know that game was originally slated for release in mid '96? I remember seeing the release date back then, July '96. Geez, only 2 years late, and it only took them 5+ years to create a game that it's only selling point is the virtual campaigns. Sorry, got out of hand with Flight sims. But do yourself a favor. Stop supporting a company that screws its customers out of our hard earned cash because it takes them so long to finish a game because they are so dis-organized. Would you pay for a pizza that got there 2 hours late and then only 3/4 of the pizza was in the box? Thought so.... Microprose / Spectrum Holobyte lost me as a customer the day after I bought GP2

eeeeewww havent heard that one in a while. GP2 might be fading, but it is still leaps and bounds above Cart Precision Racing.....in my opinion anyway

[slashing Microprose] .... DOn't care much about Microprose, but I still think I'm one hell of a lucky guy that I bought GP2. Can't think of a single piece of software that was/is more entertainment for money (well, maybe F1GP..) than this one. By NOT buying GP2, a simracer would have only punished himself...
