GAME DESCRIPTION Rev your engines and get ready to test your driving skills in TURBO! As in the popular Sega arcade game, you press down on a real accelerator foot pedal to speed over city, country and mountain roads. Twist and spin your steering wheel to swerve past oil slicks, cars and speeding ambulances. Shift down into low gear to negotiate dangerous seaside road curves and icy conditions on snowy highways. Coleco's special Expansion Module #2 turns your Control Stick into a gear shift and features an accelerator foot pedal and steering wheel. It gives you the thrill of a genuine road race! GETTING READY TO PLAY Make sure the COLECOVISION console is connected to a TV and the power supply is plugged into the console. Then plug power supply into a 110/120 volt AC outlet. TV should be on and tuned to the same channel as the 2 Channel Select Switch Prepare Expansion Module @r 2 as shown in its own instruction booklet.

Press the Reset Button and the title screen for TURBO appears on your TV Wait for the Game Option screen to appear It contains a list of skill options, numbered 1-4. Select a skill option by pressing the corresponding number button on the hand controller keypad. Lower skills make it easier to steer and have fewer cars and obstacles. Choose a skill that challenges you! STEP 2: On your mark... The signal light is red; start your engines. It's red, red, then green and you're off! For faster starting use low gear, then shift into high. The race begins! STEP 3: Passing. Each car you pass increases your point total and gets you closer to extended play (check your Cars Passed Indicator). But for each car that passes you, your point total decreases. (Note the Cars Passed Indicator records a maximum of 41 cars.) STEP 4: The pace quickens. Slick maneuvering will get you out of the city in record time. But if you rub against the border, your tires squeal and your TURBO racer slows down. Driving on snow takes special ability, so watch your speed and go easy when you pass. STEP 5: TURBO crashes! A collision brings you to a screeching stop while other cars race past. When you start, you have to gear up again Use caution on the oil slicks. And avoid sideswiping the ambulance. In regular play, your racer will always start after a collision-unless you run out of time! Watch the Time Remaining Indicator STEP 6: The challenging final seconds... If you pass thirty cars, your time is reset to 99. In Skill Level 1 Extended Play you can have an unlimited number of crashes. If you pass thirty cars in extended play, your time is again reset to 99. In Skill Levels 2 through 4 Extended Play, your time is reset to 99 and you can keep driving until you crash twice or run out of time. If you pass thirty more cars, you win still another extended play period and two more crashes. STEP 7: Bonus points. To earn bonus points, you must drive during extended play time. When you do, you get fifty points for every car you passed during regular play. And if you earn even more time, your bonus per car increases. The game ends when your time runs out or you have crashed twice during extended play Game End and Starting Again To replay the TURBO Skill Level that you have been playing, press * To go back to the Game Option screen, press #.
