Well, EA is up to more than just Earl Weaver Baseball. The ad in AW showed an auto racing game called GRAND PRIX in which we would have a first person look out of the cockpit of a Formula I car (ala Pole Position). I think a game like this has a lot of potential as an auto race SIMULATION. I would like to be able to race against "smart" opponents whose sole mission in life is NOT to try and make me crash; rather I would like to have them try to outdrive me. The ad mentioned being able to "look into your rearview mirror" which would be a great feature. Hopefully the game will incorporate pit stops, drafting, crashes, spins, and all the other unpredictable events that make Formula I racing an endurance race. Can't you just hear your Ferrari Turbo revving through your speakers? EA's ad also features screen shots of Earl Weaver Baseball and The Bard's Tale. The screen shots are only 1" x 1" but still give the reader an idea of what the games will look like. If nothing else, it's just nice to have the rumors substantiated. I have Mean 18 as I owned it for the PC and liked the game play better than Leaderboard. Everyone around here is raving about Leaderboard's graphics compared to Mean 18 but I wasn't that impressed. I think the golfer in LB has a great baseball swing. I used the Course Architect to design Muirfield on the PC version and I plan to begin constructing it on the Amy in the near future. Can I legally upload the Muirfield course to the DL after having constructed it? I would be happy to send it to you once it's completed. My PC version was pretty accurate, although I didn't know about the contures of the putting greens. I'll probably hold off on Gridiron! for now as I have my eye onb Earl Weaver Baseball, AutoduBard's Tale, and Grand Prix. Oh yes, Gamestar has announced that their sports games will be available for the Amiga as well. I'm a big One-on-One fan and am really looking forward to Gamestar's Two-on-Two B-ball game. What's your lowest score on Mean 18? Nevin
