Race Track v1.0 (RACETRK.EXE) is a Windows shareware version
of the classic Swiss racing simulation game. Not an arcade
game, but just as exciting -- it requires thinking rather than
reflexes. A good example of a game based on simple rules
that models the real world with amazing accuracy. Design
and build your own tracks and share them with a friend.
Race against a friend or the 'ghost' of the track champion.
Challenging but fun, easy to learn and play, great
graphics, sound effects, and MIDI background music!
RACETRK.ZIP should yield the following program files when un-zipped:
RACETRK.EXE -- The Race Track executable
RACETRK.HLP -- The Race Track Help File
README.TXT -- This 'read-me' file
RACETRK.MID -- The racing background MIDI music
RTWIN.MID -- The winners 'fanfare' MIDI music
RTCRASH.WAV -- The crash sound WAV file
RTSIREN.WAV -- The WAV file of an ambulance siren
+ three example tracks:
RTGARD.TRK -- Martin Gardners's original race track
RTMAZE.TRK -- a maze-like track
RTTOUGH.TRK -- a challenging race track
Race Track is written in Visual Basic 3.0. As such it
requires that VBRUN300.DLL exists in your Windows System directory.
I have a 'slick' install program that takes care of everything having
to do with installation, but for file exchanges across BBSs
it takes up too much room -- adding almost 300K to the files.
So . . . to install Race Track, please do the following:
1. Check that VBRUN300.DLL is in your Windows System directory. If not,
please download a copy ( there should be a copy on the BBS from which
you downloaded RACETRK.ZIP)
2. Create a directory RACETRK
3. Copy all the files 'unzipped' from RACETRK.ZIP
to this new RACETRK directory.
4. Create a program manager icon for RACETRK.EXE by adding it as a file
in your GAMES program manager group.
That's it.
Thanks for using Race Track. I hope its challenging, fun, and
educational at the same time!
