New patch for NHL2001

Toby

Fixes: Fixed the problem where if you were using a peer to peer connection, one of the teams could not change any team options like calling a timeout or pulling their goalie. Fixed the problem where the strategy names inside the pause menu were not the same as the ones in the front end.

MotoRacer - help the rookie!

xric

I've read two entries about getting MotoRacer (1) to work on NT. The first speaks of a registry entry, the second suggests using setwin95. cmd. Neither of these are clear to me in their use. . . . can someone please walk a rookie through getting the best option to work? Thanks!.

WW II fighters

cw

I've installed this game, and the 1. 08 patch. When I run it, the mouse pointer changes to the clock for about 2 seconds, then changes back to a pointer. Nothing happens. Anyone figure out what's preventing WW II fighters to run? I noticed that some people had the same symptoms, and others it ran fine? thanks! cw.
