- I usually keep one finger on the gas (middle button), and one on the punch
- button (right button). Obviously, this enables you to keep the gas on and
- punch at the same time. Incidentily, I've only been playing for about 2
- weeks, but I tend to do *alot* of punching and fighting (the club is the
- best!) It seems like the other "rashers" will make it harder for you it
- you've previously beat them off their bikes! (One of the "advice messages"
- say "look out for Viper - I hear he's out to get you"). Also, call me a
- "computer-abuser", but I always try to run over other rashers that have fallen
- off their bikes ahead of me. Usually you will just jump them, and have the
- satisfaction of knowing that you put down a computer-controlled rasher who
- would have run you over had the roles been reversed. ;-)
