KEYPAD: Use keypad buttons to choose your skill level and to start playing.

DISC: Press down on an edge of the Disc and rotate it from right to left or

left to right to move your Turbo racer from side to side.

SIDE BUTTONS: These act as gear shifts.

indicator in the upper right corner of the screen, below your score. "H" is for

High Gear. "L" is for Low.

HERE'S HOW TO PLAY

CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE.

Press RESET to make the Title Screen appear. Then press the Disc, any Keypad

Button or any Side Button to make the Game Option Screen appear. Choose a skill

from 1 through 4 by pressing the corresponding Keypad Button.

SKILL 1 : is the easiest level, suitable for beginners.

SKILL 2 : action is faster than Skill 1, but not as demanding as the arcade game.

SKILL 3 : plays much like the arcade game.

SKILL 4 : is more challengin than the arcade version!

If you accidentally make the wrong choice, press RESET on the game console and

choose again.

ON YOUR MARK!

Your engine starts - the countdown begins - and you're off! Shift into low gear

and accellerate. You gain speed faster in low - but only to a certain point.

When you reach the maximum in low, shift into high to go even faster.

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE.

Slick maneuvering will get you ou of the city in record time. But watch out for

cars that come from behind!

PASSING FANCY.

Each car you pass gets you closer to extra time on the course but each car that

passes YOU take away from your cars passed total.

DANGER! DANGER!

Screeching tyres againest the roadside barriers warn you that you're about to

crash. Use caution and skill, or you'll slide on slippery snow and greasy oil

slicks.

WATCH OUT! AMBULANCE!

Sirens screaming, an ambulance rushes ahead to a collision site. Move aside, but

be ready to zoom as soon as the ambulance speeds ahed. You can't outrun the

ambulance, so let it pass.

TURBO CRASHES!

If you collide with another racer, your opponents race past. Release the Disc,

then gear up again safely.

In regular play, you can crash as many times as you like. Your racer will always

start after a collision - unless you run out of time! So watch your time

remaining.

THE CHALLENGING FINAL SECONDS.

If you pass 30 cars, you continue until your time runs out. Then you go for

another round and your time resets to 99. If you pass ANOTHER 30 cars, you

continue playing until time runs out, then your time resets to 99 again. This

pattern continues until you have crashed twice into cars.

In Skill Level 1 Extended Play you can have an unlimited number of crashes.

BONUS POINTS.

To earn bonus points, you MUST pass 30 cars. You get 40 points for each car you

passed, up to 99 cars. If you earn more drving time, and pass 30 or more cars,

you earn 40 bonus points for each car again. The game ends when your time runs

out, or if you crash twice into other cars during extended play.
