Porsche racing game

[craigw]

I'm not really one for computer games but Need for Speed Porsche demo was free with this months EVO mag. I'm totally addicted, have now bought the proper game. Great fun - can drive 993 Turbos, 914's 964's, great fun.

Oh and if anyone can beat 3 mins 13 for the Normandy course I'll buy them a pint

Normandy is 1.17. but then i have been playing it for 18 months

You are right this is such a great game just never get bored with it

can't get it to run

I get the entry screen, but it just never fires up

Rgds, WalterU

[craigw]

How did you get 1.17???? The quickest I've seen even on expert level is 3.03, cant see how it could be done 3 times quicker? I'm averaging 100 all the way round and not crashing at all.

Dunno just briliant driving i guess , dont forget you can modify the cars it can be done belive me , WalterU i had probs with mine in the end i had to change the video card !!! can`t remember the make of card but its got 32mb

[marki]

Sorry , Sorry , Sorry
my best time for Normandy is 3:23 not 1:17 , but you still owe me a pint .

i was looking at the track record which i thought was me.... duhhh

Still a shit hot lap time

Same here Craig, graphics are superb. But...like you I'm getting fed up of driving the 993 demo car.

If you don't mind me asking, where and how much did you get it / pay for it ?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

PS - 3:09 for Nomandie is my best. How in God's name can you drive it quicker (like, 2 minutes quicker?) Assume you have a much, much faster car.

Hi Craig

did you download the GT2 GT3 and the 959 now they are fun cars .

Fancy a Head to Head over the net ?

[craigw]

Got it at Dixons for £9.99 ! I would love to race but havent figured out how to do it yet/if our office firewall will allow it. I havent worked up to the 959 yet, my best is a 911RS so far.

I got this too. Doesn't run on b****y W2000. Deeply frustrating. Ah well.

Hi Craigw

i dont think you can work up to a 959 or any of the GT cars , you can just download them from the homepage, re a Head-to-Head if you are interested drop me a mail and we can try and sort it out , im a bit rusty at the momment but im sure it will come back fast enought

Mornin' folks,

Managed to get this game in HMV on Saturday for a tenner (sale price). Works like a charm on WinXP. Already downloaded the 959, GT2 & GT3.

I notice some compatriots have problems running it - if you want to drop me a mail off list I'll try and diagnose your problem remotely. I have Win2K on a laptop so I can give it a go on that.

All the best,

Greg
