Anyone tried this game? The one by Cynaide, I mean.

If so, thoughts, opinions? Thinking about picking it up.

Paging Mr. Quiksand (don't do anything until he replies would be my advise)

If it's the game I'm thinking of, I remember that game not being thought of highly by the people here who got it. But that seems like all of them.

I think I'll take sabotai's advice and wait to see what QS has to say about it. I used to play the Quarterpole Series back in the day, so I have some interest in the horse-racing text sim genre.

I bought it. I fired it up. It took me only part of one session to essentially discard this game, never to be heard from again.

I honestly don't even have any particular recollections of what I didn't like about it... I just know it was a complete miss for me. And I am, admittedly, quite desperate to really like a horse racing management sim.

I can't find any notes I made to myself or this forum with any more detail, so this may not be very valuable guidance... but I know the game didn't really work for me at all.

Izulde-Horse Race Manager is a very annoying unfinished product. On top of that it has Starforce protection system, I have tried a few too many times to try to look past this bug or that oversight only to get too frustrated to ever really enjoy the game.

If you want to get a horse racing game, i think starters orders pro is the best out there (check out startersorders.com)
