- -=*SHAREWARE EDITION*=-
-
- Welcome to SuperSpeed! This speedy miniature car racing game delivers
- pure action for up to four players.
- Challenge your friends or compete against the computer's drivers.
- Eventful tracks with all the obstacles you usually prefer not to find
- in real life driving.
-
- System requirements
-
- - a 386 or higher processor
- - VGA graphics card
- - about 550 KB RAM
- - joysticks and Adlib compatible
- sound card optional
-
-
- Shareware Edition
-
- This version of SuperSpeed is shareware. You can try out this program
- as long as you like, and you may give it to your friends. It's free.
- The Shareware Edition is a complete program that certainly will give
- you hours of fun.
- If so, you might want to read the bottom part of this text. You'll
- discover how much SuperSpeed you can get for what little money!
-
-
- Installation
-
- Copy all files from the disk to your hard drive. Use the INSTALL
- program, the MS-Windows file manager or the MS-DOS COPY command.
- No special setup is necessary. If you have a sound card installed,
- SuperSpeed will detect it automatically.
-
- For users of MS-Windows, files SUPER.PIF and SUPER.ICO are included.
- Use the mouse to drag SUPER.PIF from the file manager to any program
- group in the program manager. Here, you might select SUPER.ICO as
- icon for SuperSpeed.
- Most users will have to start SuperSpeed from DOS, as Windows can slow
- it down or make run quite stumblingly on most PCs.
-
-
- The Game
-
- Start "SUPER". After the title screen, you'll see the "PRESS BUTTON"-
- screen, which will reappear before each track. Join the race with
- your fire button:
-
- Player 1 (red car) LEFT SHIFT KEY
- Player 2 (yellow car) RIGHT SHIFT KEY
- Player 3 (green car) JOYSTICK 1 BUTTON
- Player 4 (blue car) JOYSTICK 2 BUTTON
-
- As soon as the helicopter leaves the screen, the next race track gets
- displayed. Wait for the lights - ready - steady - go!
-
- Accelerate with your fire button.
- Release it to brake.
-
- Your steering wheel looks a bit like:
-
- red car Z left, X right
- yellow car cursor left and cursor right
- (numeric keyboard 4 and 6)
- green/blue car joystick left and right.
-
- On most tracks, four rounds have to be driven in one race. You'll see
- your current number of laps any time you complete one.
-
- Aim of the game: reach the finish line before one of the computer's
- drivers does. If you compete against three other human opponents, there
- are no computer drivers; you'll have to beat a qualification time then.
- It's like it always is - some guys get all the points, and some will
- see a large "game over" again and again.
- Don't panic, you may join in again as the next race track begins.
-
- Race Tracks
-
- The Shareware Edition includes three, the Deluxe Edition nine great
- race tracks, every single one challenging the driver's skills in a
- different way. Sometimes roads are wide and curves gentle, sometimes
- you must fight arduosly for your way through narrow passages, and
- getting out of a tunnel can become times trickier than entering one.
-
- Extras
-
- You'll find a wrench or a 1000-points bonus on the track from time to
- time. Collect four wrenches to enhance your car:
-
- ACCELERATION get going faster
- TRACTION get around those curves at top speed, too
- SPEED higher top speed
- +4000 Pts in case you are satisfied with your "equipment"
- so far, take some points for your wrenches.
-
- The Bonus-FillUp level of the Deluxe Edition reveals a key sometimes.
- Collect this to open the gate to the gas station - a flashing bonus sign
- is there. The driver getting there first receives a 1000 points bonus
- and unlocks one of the three secret bonus races. All players compete
- in the bonus race after the current track.
-
- Secret Bonus Race (Deluxe Edition only)
-
- Reach the MEGA-WRENCH, before the countdown score runs down.
- Be alert! Something seems unusual with these bonus tracks...
-
- Obstacles
-
- So far, so good. And much too easy for you. So here are some nicely
- unpleasant obstacles adding some flavor to the race:
-
-
- puddles water slows you down a bit, and sliding fun
- hides in oil patches, sand and ice
-
- cones hit 'em hard, and they'll vanish
-
- whirlwind minding it's own business, as long as you
- don't get close
-
- gates closing regularly, opening, too, although
- you'll find that hard to admit.
- when open, they provide a nice shortcut
-
- skulls oh-oh. Don't disturb the ghosts of ancient
- SuperSpeed heroes and their peaceful rest in
- highscore tables. don't, or they'll send
- Mr.BadGuy straight from hell
- hang on, wasn't there a smile some seconds ago?
-
- blockers oops, something's growing out of the street.
- ah, and it's going back. and comes. and goes.
- obviously can't decide - can you?
-
-
- Highscores
-
- SuperSpeed has two highscore tables. One holds the 30 best SuperSpeeders
- of all time, the other keeps track records for each course.
