| 3021.1 | no luck here | SMAUG::SPODARYK | Binary Throttle | Sun Oct 15 1989 15:52 | 8 |
| Ed,
That .wrp appears to be faulty. After downloading, Warp went
to work, only to give me a "Error in Warp format in file xxx.wrp".
Should it only be 221 blocks? Any other ideas?

| 3021.2 | No problems here | DUGGAN::MCCARTHY | Mike McCarthy MRO4-2/C17 297-4531 | Sun Oct 15 1989 18:42 | 4 |
| I had no problems downloading and unWarping . It looks interesting.
I wish the demo had sound, however.

| 3021.3 | ditto | AMIGA2::MCGHIE | Thank Heaven for small Murphys ! | Sun Oct 15 1989 21:29 | 5 |
| Same for me,
though I didn't get around to running it yet.

| 3021.4 | Got it. | SMAUG::SPODARYK | Binary Throttle | Mon Oct 16 1989 00:52 | 6 |
| False alarm. I downloaded it again, and it was fine. I'll blame
the phone company on the first one. :^)
Nice demo. The rendering is quite quick, especially on a A2500.

| Worked fine here. Shame it has no sound.
Looks like we've gone from flight simulator wars to racing wars :-) I guess
this means Falcon won the other race?

| 3021.6 | I couldn't get it to work | NOBHIL::BODINE_CH | | Mon Oct 16 1989 13:54 | 6 |
| I did an ANAL/RMS on the file and it uncovered 2 errors. I couldn't get it
to work and I downloaded it twice with ZMODEM.
Whats the trick?

| 3021.7 | Overkill - try zoo'ing the wrp file | SMAUG::SPODARYK | Binary Throttle | Mon Oct 16 1989 14:48 | 9 |
| I don't know if there is a trick. The second time, I zoo'ed the wrp
file, and then downloaded, unzoo'ed and warped it to floppy. The
zoo step shouldn't be necessary, but it's been so long since I used warp
that I thought it was safer. I still got a warp error, but everything
works fine... If you're out of patience, send me mail/floppy.
Good Luck.

The file is in Stream_LF format on NORSE, if it makes any difference.
I've found that Xmodem requires this file format on the VMS end.

| 3021.9 | | WJG::GUINEAU | | Mon Oct 16 1989 16:04 | 11 |
| I got an error at the END of the unwarping (i.e. after it did "track 79, head 1")
So I just dir a
1> dir df0:
Saw lots of files, booted the floppy and it went fine.
Are you getting anything at all from the unwarping?

Remember that you must eject the disk and reinsert it to allow AmigaDOS
to validate it after it's been written. If you just try a warm boot
from a freshly warped disk, it probably won't work.

| re: .9
No, I got no files at all. It bombed out at track 49. I've used WARP before
without any problems. What version of WARP are you using?
Chris

| 3021.12 | | WJG::GUINEAU | | Tue Oct 17 1989 08:21 | 5 |
| Either 1.1 or 2.0 :-)
Seriously, try 2.0. If the author was nice, it's backward compatible anyway.

| 3021.13 | finally | NOBHIL::BODINE_CH | | Tue Oct 17 1989 13:27 | 6 |

I finally got it to work by downloading with XMODEM. This looks pretty good.
I have been waiting for the ultimate driving game. I hope this turns out to
be it.

| 3021.14 | Great but nothing to shoot | CAM::ARENDT | Harry Arendt CAM:: | Wed Oct 18 1989 16:41 | 3 |
| Nice graphics but nothing to blast. I love those blast em up games!
Also I love two player games. This will probably not be two player.

| 3021.15 | almost there... | HYSTER::DEARBORN | Trouvez Mieux | Thu Oct 19 1989 11:34 | 17 |

It looks interesting, but I think it needs some more work to make
it a "stand out" graphics game.
One big problem with the design: They use pattern fills to
simulate more colors. Feed the composite signal to a color
monitor (not RGB, regular TV) and you get a horrible flickering
of most of the objects, making it almost unwatchable. This is
too bad, because it would be nice to be able to display this
game on a large screen TV. The way it is now, you can't do it.
Unless you don't mind going blind playing it!

| 3021.16 | atleast it uses the mouse | GUCCI::HERB | | Sat Oct 21 1989 23:46 | 5 |
| also,where are the other cars that you race?? And how about a outside
view...

| 3021.17 | | DRIVEN::SANFORD | | Sun Oct 22 1989 00:18 | 6 |
| In regards to an outside view, while driving the real Atari version,
when you crash another view is displayed from outside the vehicle
showing your mistake. Almost like an instant replay from some
fixed position.
