Post by: MeTaL=DeaTh on February 16, 2001, 11:17:59 PM: "a-spec" from my limited knowledge probably means "top quality specification" or something like that...i would prefer a more simulated action pic for GT3\'s box art but i won\'t complain,the game will most likely make up for a lame cover :) but i think the ZOE covers are from US / European box art,there is no Japanese wording anywhere on them to say one or the other is a Jap cover ??

Post by: politiepet on February 18, 2001, 11:26:04 AM: the gt3 one is boring, but I guess it does the job,
a rally lame box art pic is SSX\'s, it sucked (the game made up for it though!)

Post by: nO-One on February 18, 2001, 03:04:21 PM: I actually like the GT.2 box art it suits the game.
And the Z.O.E one is nice to (the later one posted that is)
Title: Add a point to MeTaL=DeaTh\'s
Post by: w1ngman on February 18, 2001, 04:46:14 PM: Dang, MeTaL=DeaTh, but your member-name is a toughie to type!!!

Anyway, similar to your point, my experience is somewhat limited. However, did some poking around on the \'net for an answer. Wouldn\'t have taken the time to post on this point except that I had a hopped up Honda (I\'ll describe as "full-blown Gran Tourismo looking" -- how\'s that!?) pass me today on the interstate with a simple personalized license plate that read "J-SPEC".

With my curiosity peaked by the guy\'s plate and Deadly Hampster\'s question posed, I decided to do some searching and basically MeTal=DeaTh is correct. I\'d go one further by my investigation and say that "A-spec" refers to American cars that are "supposed to be" modified to specific specifications. The idea is that everyone is on a same (albeit high-performance) playing field and that what is left over is simply driver\'s skill that wins the race.

I would therefore deduce that "J-spec" refers to Japanese cars under similar conditions for race competition.

Anyway, now I know why the Honda had the "J-SPEC" plate! :D

Post by: Darth Joyda on February 19, 2001, 01:53:56 AM: I think both of the box-arts are quite good :)

Especially the Z.O.E. one. It\'s futuristic but dark and the Z.O.E -logo is very good, yes.

The GT3 box-art is quite simple, but that doesn\'t mean it\'s dull. It suits the box well, I believe; but are those confirmed official final box-arts or just ideas?

Post by: soundifound on February 19, 2001, 09:17:24 AM: Not Sure if they\'re final version. I got both of them off Amazon.com. I think the ZOE is the final version, not sure about gt3 though.
