#P#C014LITTLE ADDENDUM

What would a manual be w/o an
addendum? Well, this one here
comes right in the middle of the
manual, because it belongs to the
two screens you just viewed.

#C014RECEIVING HELP ANY TIME...

The Help & Order Info can be acti-
vated from almost anywhere within
the game, by pressing the #C011F1#C015-key.
When you leave Help you'll be
right back at the same point where
you left off.

#P#C014PAUSING THE GAME

While you're in the actual race,
you can press #C011'P'#C015 or #C011BUTTON 3#C015 on
your control device. That's the
#C014YELLOW BUTTON#C015 on a Gravis GamePad.

#C014This will freeze the action in-
#C014stantaneously!

In order to resume to the game
press either #C011Ctrl#C015, #C011Alt#C015, the
#C011space bar#C015, or #C011BUTTON 1#C015 or #C0112#C015.

#P#C014WAKING UP THE NEIGHBORS!

Owners of a four button control
device can press #C011BUTTON 4#C015, i.e.
the #C010GREEN BUTTON#C015 on a Gravis Game-
Pad, to honk their horn.

This function is for entertainment
purposes only.
#P#C014THE MAIN MENU

The main menu is this conservative
kind of main menu that does not try
to confuse you by introducing any
new and innovative ideas...

#C014YOUR CHOICES ARE:

#C014LETS GO!!!

#C014HELP AND INFO

#C014OPTIONS MENU
Pops up an options menu. In there
you can modify the level of diffi-
culty, change from stick shift to
automatic, and redefine the keys.
Just follow the on-screen instruc-
tions.

#P#C014THE MAIN MENU (cont'd.)

#C014SOUND MENU
This pops up the SOUND MENU, the
menu with the power to wobble your
woofers and tickle your tweeters!

In it you can choose what kind of
sound you would like to hear, and
how loud you want it.
It also offers you a juke box.

Simply follow the on-screen in-
structions.
#P#C014THE MAIN MENU (cont'd.)

#C014THE EDITOR
Guess what?
(See the next pages for details).

#C014EXIT TO DOS
Guess what again!
(When you make this fatal choice
and that funny C:>_ thingy shows
up, just type ROADHOG)
#P#C014THE GAME

Your goal is to carefully manoeuver
your vehicle from START to FINISH.

The easiest way to accomplish that
is to slam on the gas and never to
use the brakes.

That means, this would be the
easiest way, IF the road was per-
fectly straight with no opponents
on it.

#C014Unfortunately, this is NOT the
#C014case!

#P#C014THE GAME (cont'd.)

#C014THE SCREEN

Besides showing the road, the
screen is your online-source for
an abundance of information.

In the top half you can see the
TIME, the SCORE, your PROGRESS in
the current stage (red bar), your
SCORE (a turtle), and the HISCORE
(a bunny).
#P#C014THE GAME (cont'd.)

#C014THE SCREEN (cont'd.)

In the bottom half you can see
your SPEED, your current POSITION,
and a STICK SHIFT (even if you're
driving an automatic).

After a crash a STEERING WHEEL in-
dicates, that you can freely posi-
tion your car on the road.
This will disappear as soon as you
set the car in motion.

#P#C014THE GAME (cont'd.)

#C014SCORING

Every time you begin with a new
stage, #C0145000#C015 points are added to
your current score.

Every time you advance by one po-
sition, #C014100#C015 points are added.

Every time you are passed by an
opponent, #C014100#C015 points are deducted.

#C01410#C015 points are deducted for every
second you waste!

Additional points are awarded for
picking up the various bonus stuff.
#P#C014THE EDITOR

The editor has two screens. The
first one gives you a list of the
15 available custom tracks. Here
you can either choose the track you
want to modify, or you can back out
to the main menu.

#C014Of course you want to pick a track!

Once this is done, using #C011UP/DOWN#C015 &
#C011FIRE#C015, screen |2 comes into the
game.
This whole screen is filled by a
first person view of the track in
its current shape.
#P#C014THE EDITOR (cont'd.)

You cannot change the track di-
rectly, but you rather change its
properties, i.e. WIDTH, LENGTH,
STEEPNESS, RANDOM 'SEED', etc.

At the top of the screen you can
see a number of red bars.
Each of the bars stands for one of
the properties.

Use #C011UP/DOWN#C015 to select a bar,
#C011LEFT/RIGHT#C015 to change its value,
#C011FIRE#C015 to confirm your change and
to make it visible on the road.

If you select another bar before
pressing fire, your change on the
current bar will be discarded.
#P#C014THE EDITOR (cont'd.)

WIDTH, STEEPNESS, and CURVINESS
only take their full effect to-
wards the middle of the track, so
you might not see such a big dif-
ference every time.
The most massive changes are accom-
plished by changing the SEED-bar.

If your track looks alright and
you want to give it a spin, go
ahead and choose the TEST DRIVE
option.
If you like the feel of it, choose
EXIT & SAVE, which will ask you for
a name and save the track for you.

ABANDON TRACK will go back to the
list without saving your changes.

#S001001#P#C014THE STORY

You're a nice and caring driver,
your driving habits are exemplary,
you'd even stop to let an old lady
cross the road.

Only every once in a while you get
sick and tired of all this MR.
NICE GUY crap. Then you find your-
self some desert road, like in
the MYSTIC MOUNTAINS or in N.Y.
during the rush hour.

You put on your PRETTY COOL sun-
glasses, flash them pearly whites
and turn into the meanest #C012ROAD HOG!
west of the Mississippi river.
#P#C014THE STORY (cont'd.)

Of course, your efforts to endan-
ger other drivers and the surroun-
ding flora and fauna won't go un-
noticed.

RHOG-TV is always looking for some
reckless drivers to put them on
their popular DOZER & MUSHBRAIN-
show. If you're the wildest driver
on the track then you're gonna be
on nationwide TV!

I'm taking a break now, it's time
to regain my touch with reality...
(I haven't looked out of the win-
dow for the past couple of hours.)

   Now we're getting there!

4. #C014Just paint (and starve) -
   No, no, one step back, please...
