FW: Ralley Game (A bit long)

["Dupree, Robert A." <rdupree@sidley.com>]

Here is the response I got back for suggesting that the Audi be added to   
the game.
I wonder if he owns NOMEX?

Dear Robert,
Thanks for your email.
Our developer considered having an Audi in Top Gear Rally, but (should I   
say this?) the Lancia Delta won out (something about Lancia's popularity   
in Japan, and this is an international product).  (I'll probably get a   
lot of heat for this, won't I?)  Anyway, video game development is an   
amorphous entity (especially memory allocation) so the Audi just might   
make it into the game... but no promises at this point.  I realize that   
you are a PC gamer, but I think you really should check out
the N64 (it's not "kid stuff").  At $200, it's the best way to get fast   
action and great graphics in your home (I think PCs are great for   
sims/strategy/exploration/multiplayer stuff, but arcade style games are   
not a strong point for the PC platform).  Well, thanks again for your   
interest, and if space becomes available, the  Audi will be a strong   
contender.  Then we can utilize the specs you offer.

Sincerely,

Oliver
