GPL - Why doesn't anyone here play it ??

[CloneHead]

I'm stunned, it seems that I'm the only one here playing this great game.


Thanks for making a subcategory for this great game Jordan, but I't gonna be a bit empty here, if I'm the only one using it

But then again - I could start "post-whoring"

Well, I'm kinda distracted by GTA VC at the moment - plus the grunter PC's still having trouble with its internet connection (I'm on the laptop at the moment). I'll pop you a PM once I'm back into it.

I've been playing GPL for some time now. It's the best. I've hit a point where it's getting really hard to go any faster, although I must admit I haven't really worked on my GPLRank (-55.8) in a few months. I want to get my Nurburgring time under 8 minutes but that's going to be really hard. I hate the Lotus. It's the fastest car but it's no fun to drive. The Cooper and the Brabham are the most fun to drive, methinks.

I still want to find this game for sale. Anywhere. If anyone finds a site selling it, please notify me.

Really, I mean it.

A 2-minute trip to Yahoo Shopping has revealed these fine selections...

http://search.shopping.yahoo.com/se...s,w:search,a:r?is=1&p=Grand+Prix+Legends&did=

The game is dirt cheap too!

 

[advanR]

that url is invalid.

pupik i also desperately want to find the game. if you find it anywhere, please notify me.

 

[CudaMan]

Okay, the link did something funky in the transfer from Yahoo to here.

Anyway, use your noggin -- go to Yahoo Shopping and enter "Grand Prix Legends" in the search box.

 

[advanR]

i dont want a used game

 

[CudaMan]

Then you're in luck -- the links at Yahoo Shopping are to vendors that carry new copies of the game.

Just go and look already.

 

[Pupik]

Thanks, I now feel both stupider and smarter for your posts. I figured it wouldn't be that easy to find.

(2nd guessing me-self...)

You know what I like about old games???

System Requirements:

Windows 3.1 / 95, 486 66 MHz or faster, 8 MB RAM, 256 color Super VGA graphics, 2x CD-ROM drive, Windows compatible sound card. Mcintosh PowerMac, System 7.5 or higher, 8 MB RAM, 14" monitor, 2x CD-ROM drive.

...for those of us whom aren't PC gamers. Thus, virtually any 8-year-old computer will do.

 

[advanR]

great, i might go pick it up.

i think i posted this somewhere else but dont know where. Is there a way i can get voodoo acceleration emulation or something like that on my 8500? or is there a mod for the game that improves graphics? i dont mind the graphics that much, but they were way better on my voodoo 3 when i had the voodoo acceleration enabled.

 

[CudaMan]

Go to www.papy.com and download the Direct3D renderer patch for GPL. Then you'll be able to use your 8500 to great effect.

 

[advanR]

awesome. you made my day. although i coulda checked myself.

im buying a momo force and am excited at all of the games i can use it with.

so far the list is gt3, grand prix 4, nfs 5 porsche, and some demos to a lesser degree. soon i will add f355 challenge, colin mcrae 3 and gp legends to the list.

Clonehead - you're back!!

 

[CloneHead]

Get your graphics updates at http://gplea.racesimcentral.com/

 

[CloneHead]

Yes I'm back needed some time away from GPL - and thought I might as well go here - with GT4 coming up and stuff

 

[CloneHead]

Do you know that complex string is just out for GPL:

You use winVroc

[vat_man]

Thanks for that download, Clonehead - the course is slightly different, but not so I'd complain - and I love the signage.

I had a little problem with GPL that I managed to fix last night (no matter what option I chose, all the cars were novice trainers), so I'm ready to go - but I'm still hopeless! I've got a lot of extra tracks now, must look into the graphical updates.

 

[CloneHead]

Yeah, the updates are wery much worth it. Go to www.racesimcentral.com if you want more GPL stuff - and it's got a pretty nice and tidy forum too 👍

 

[advanR]

i ordered it a few days ago. i hope it will be here tomorrow. i am so frigin excited to get it going. i have a guy who is going to train me using gpl, hahha. if anyone wants to talk to me about gpl, catch me on AIM.

 

[CRXin18]

good game

 

[advanR]

ok, this game is just awesome.........

im on winvroc idling as bijan all the time. we should get some gtp guys together for a game. im not the best yet, but i ran a 1:32.2 in the cooper at monza last night. Ive heard thats not too shabby for someone that has had the game for 3 days.

catch me on AIM

 

[vat_man]

That's a pretty decent time - I think I'm in around there. I'll keep an eye out - I'm there as vat_man (surprise).
