-
- Hello,
-
- Thank you for downloading the beta of Winter Race 3D. We have put quite
- a bit of work into this project and we hope you will enjoy it.
-
-
- Winter Race 3D was developed by 3D Game Arena. Our site is devoted to
- sponsoring FREE contests with BIG PRIZES to our registered customers.
- Our upcoming contest is $500.00 for best downhill time on the "Speed Track"
- available on the full version CD ROM. We will be continuously running
- new contests for the different tracks and upcoming games.
-
- Please visit our web site at www.3DGameArena.com for details.
-
-
-
- This track is one of our more challenging ones so here are some tips for
- playing the game:
-
- * You may use either a keyboard or joystick:
-
- -- Keyboard players:
- Left and Right arrows allow turning
- Ctrl key allows tucking
-
- -- Joystick players:
- Move joystick left and right to turn
- Use fire button 1 to tuck
-
- * Tucking increases speed which you must do to make the jumps and beat
- the opponent skier. The trick is memorizing each jump and how much
- speed is needed. If your speed is too high you'll fly into the fence,
- too low and you won't clear the obstacles.
-
- * When coming upon a jump, give your self time to get a straight approach.
-
- * When in a tuck position your movement is restricted. Since the controls
- are less sensitive this is a good way to fine tune your heading,
- which is necessary for jumping.
-
- * If you get stuck or you're having a bad run just press escape to retry
- from the beginning. The escape key will also get you out of any menu.
-
-
-
-
-
- There are a few things you should know before running the game.
-
- * Winter Race 3D uses Direct 3D, Direct Draw, and Direct Sound.
- It will use your 3D hardware as long as you have the correct
- drivers supplied by your card manufacturer.
-
- * You must have DirectX installed on your machine. It is free and
- you can download it from numerous places including our site.
-
- * Direct 3D does some initialization on the data before the game starts.
- On a 133 MHz Pentium it takes about 1 minute 45 seconds before the
- game begins.
-
- * This is only a beta. There are some known bugs (and probably some
- unknown ones). Please feel free to report any suggestions or bugs to
- us via our website www.3DGameArena.com

-
- Thanks again and have fun!!!
