'68 & '69 seasons?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #350 of 703 |
Re: [Stratmat] '68 & '69 seasons?

Yes, and you would have a choice of two versions of 1968, the original or
the updated and modernized one. What you get when you purchase 1968 (or any
season) is an authorization code which would enable you to use the 1968 season
once you installed it from the CD-ROM. If you purchase the card image option
you will be able to view the cards while playing the game.
