Turbo
by Coleco
For use with Coleco's Expansion Module # 2
For one player
Select from four skill levels
Plays like the TURBO arcade game!
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.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE COLECOVISION UNIT IS OFF BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING A
CARTRIDGE. Turn Off/On switch to On after cartridge has been inserted.
USING THE CONTROLS
1. Keypad: Keypad Buttons 1-4 allow you to select a Game Option before you begin
to play. Pressing * after a game allows you to replay the same Skill Level;
pressing # after a game allows you to return to the Game Option screen.
2. Control Stick: Use the Control Stick on the standard hand controller (plugged
into Port 2) as your gearshift. Push the Control Stick up for low gear Pull
the Control Stick down for high gear and higher speeds.
3. Steering Wheel: The Steering Wheel controls the direction of your Turbo
racer, just like a real race car
4. Accelerator Foot Pedal: Push down on the Accelerator Foot Pedal to increase
your speed. Release Pedal to decrease your speed.
HERE'S HOW TO PLAY
STEP 1: Starting up.
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 #.
NOTE: The Reset Button on the console "clears" the computer It can be used to
start a new game at any time, and can also be used in the event of game
malfunction.
