Could someone tell me the name, publisher and if possible UK distributor of any Formula 1 game for the Macintosh which they would recommend? I've been playing Microprose F1GP on a DOS PC and would like a game which has as many real elements of the game rules as possible: pactice, qualifying, car setups, famous or editable names & colours, realistic simulations of the real tracks (epecially), a full season of play, etc. - and if possible it should be updateable as the tracks and rules change (poss. asking too much?). I did ask recently and someone said there was a Ferrari-brand game, but didn't know the details. Please *e-mail* me if posting from comp.sys.mac.games or rec.autos.sport.f1, as I can't handle the traffic(!) of these groups. I will be glad to post a summary of my findings. Follow-ups are set to demon.tech.mac in the UK. -- Steve Rogers = steverogers@thebeast.demon.co.uk Snigger/Snogwriter, The Cauldron, Totnes. It's a medium-sized world.

Sorry mate, there are no F1 games out there for the mac worth buying. The
Ferrari thing you mentioned may be Ferrari Grand Prix but it's not worth
the box it came in :-(
Last thing I heard was that IndyCar racing 2.0 will be out for the mac.
Maybe finally a real racing game on our favourite computer :-)

The summary is as follows: The Ferrari game is out of date & most people don't like it, though a very few do. The Microprose game for the PC is very good and is one more reason for choosing the PowerMac 6100 with DOS Compatibility Card, or getting a PC! There isn't anything as good on the Mac, although it is possible Microprose will port their game to it. Thank you for all your contributions. -- Steve Rogers = steverogers@thebeast.demon.co.uk Snigger/Snogwriter, The Cauldron, Totnes. It's a medium-sized world.

Nascar Racing and Indy Car Racing are both coming to the Mac (and to windows for that matter) so unless you have to ply them now, you might want to hold off on the Dos card....
