- Hyper Chase Auto Race
- ---------------------
- Watch out for the guardrail! You're behind the wheel of your formula one
- racer about to start the world's toughest grand prix. Try to stay alive
- through city streets and country roads. Start your engine -- the start
- lights are counting down!
-
- Controls
- --------
- Joystick: Controls position of your race car on the track.
- Button 1: Up shift.
- Button 2: Down shift.
- Button 3: Brake.
- Button 4: Accelerator.
-
- Game Selection
- --------------
- You have a choice of two game play options. They are:
- GAME 1: You play against the clock. You goal is to drive the course in as
- little time as possible. Each crash wastes valuable time, but you can
- have an unlimited number of crashes.
- GAME 2: Your goal is to accumulate as many points as possible. You gain
- points for speed and miles traveled over the course before losing 5
- race cars.
-
- Game Play
- ---------
- Your formula one racer will appear at the bottom of the screen with its
- engine warmed-up and ready to go. Your gear number (1 to start) is found at
- the top center of the screen and the speedometer is found at the bottom of
- the screen. Press your accelerator, button 4, to get the race underway. If
- you keep your finger on the accelerator, your car will advance about 1/3 of
- the way up the track. By taking your finger off the accelerator, your car
- will ride toward the bottom of the screen.
- Your joystick will control your position on the track, but your gearshift
- (buttons 1 and 2), combined with your accelerator, will control your speed.
- As you accelerate, you will hear your engine working too hard. Press button
- 1 to shift to second gear and accelerate until you again hear the engine
- working too hard. You can shift into third and forth gear in the same
- manner.
- You must now travel the course, staying on the road and avoiding
- collisions. Be careful not to travel too slowly because a car can always hit
- you from behind!
-
- Automatic Play
- --------------
- If you do not start your car on its route within 15 seconds, the car will
- begin to travel by itself. However, you can take over command of the racer
- by just using the joystick and buttons.
-
- Getting Hit
- -----------
- If you run off the side of the road of hit another racer, you will lose
- your car. In GAME 1, you will lose the time it takes for another racer to
- appear. In GAME 2, you will return to the track if you have additional cars
- left. In both games, you return to the point on the course where you
- crashed. Don't forget to downshift to first gear before resuming the race.
- When GAME 1 is played as a two player game, the first player is allowed to
- finish the course and get his time before the second player has a turn, no
- matter how many crashes occur. When GAME 2 is played as a two player game,
- the two opponents take turns at the wheel each time a car is destroyed.
-
- Number of Cars
- --------------
- GAME 1 has an unlimited number of cars. In GAME 2 you start with 5 cars.
- An extra car is awarded after earning 15,000 points.
-
- Scoring
- -------
- In GAME 1, your score is the amount of time in seconds it takes you to
- complete the entire course. The lower your time, the better you drove.
- In GAME 2, points are earned for the miles you travel as well as your
- speed. The higher your score, the better you drove.
