 MOTOCROSS

Cartridge Instructions

(For 1 or 2 Players)

Big time is here! Daredevil you! You'll prove once and for all that no one can

outrace you, outshine you, in the frenzied world of MOTOCROSS!

OBJECT OF THE GAME

You CHOOSE or DESIGN your own course -- long straights, S turns, jumps, or

combination of these. Get it easy or rough! You select the number of laps and the

type of confrontation you want -- you alone against the clock, you against

another player, or you against the computer! Play it normal or in reverse

direction! You are on your own now! Go! Clock starts! Watch YOUR TIME at the

FINISH LINE! Or lay back...and watch the computer race its own bike!

If 2-player game, each player must select the steering option on his Hand

Controller.

If 1-player game, press 1 or 2 on LEFT Hand Controller.

ON YOUR MARK!

As the race starts (clock's running!), press either TOP Action Button to make

your bike move. Press longer to make it move FASTER. Use Disc to steer your bike.

If you selected "Directional" steering, press DISC in the direction you want your

bike to go. Bike will turn to that direction. Release Disc after direction is

reached. If you selected "Left/Right" steering, press DISC left to turn left;

press DISC right to turn right.

Touch your DISC SLIGHTLY and DON'T OVERSTEER...otherwise your motorcycle will go

berserk before your eyes, hurtle onto the grass, and land your brave rider on top

of his head!

Take advantage of a straight -- ACCELERATE! Keep pressing TOP Action Button!

Slow down BEFORE you reach a curve. Press either BOTTOM Action Button to brake.

Touch DISC slightly to steer bike...so it doesn't side-slip and skid off the

road.

So many things can go wrong in a race...

Don't just zoom at top speed through a jump -- slow down a bit and be

careful...or you might end up eating dirt again!

TWO-BIKE RACES!

One player controls the red bike, the other the black. At time zero, both bikes

start at the line of departure...and WHHHRRRRR out and away they go! Watch both

clocks begin to race, too!

If a bike gets too far behind, it will cause the other bike to temporarily

freeze...so both bikes appear on the screen at the same time. The bike that is

frozen also has its clock frozen. Then the action picks up again, both bikes and

both clocks running.

Hitting another bike, with intent or by mistake, will mess your game and smack

you down to the ground. So, try to avoid it.

MAKING YOUR OWN COURSE

When you choose Course #4 before the game starts, you are given an opportunity to

DESIGN your own race course. A map will be displayed immediately on the screen

for you to start work. Use Disc to select a piece of the course, then press

ENTER. Select another piece and ENTER. Press CLEAR anytime you want to remove a

piece you already picked but won't use after all. And so on, until your design is

completed.

Press ENTER to exit to the Number of Laps selection. Select the number of laps,

then move on to the next game option selections as your normally do before

starting a game. And play on the course you have just designed!

To play again on it, you will have to Press 5 (Last Designed Course) when

choosing the Course Number at the start of your game option selections.

WINNING!

Winning means CROSSING the FINISH LINE, whether there are 1 or 2 bikes in the

race. Bikes will drive off the screen and the clocks will stop. Player with the

lowest time is the winner.

The maximum time possible is 999 sec. If you take longer than that, your time

will always show 999!

PLAY AGAIN...To start again, press a number key on any keypad.

Watch the following message on your screen:

Same Race?

Press 1 for Yes.

Press 2 for No.

REMEMBER...

SLIDES. Traction is reduced when your bike goes faster. Start your turn in

advance of a turn or else your bike will slide.

JUMPS. When your bike hits a jump, it will go into the air and land later. The

faster your bike takes a jump, the higher and farther it will go.

COLLISIONS. If your bike goes all the way off the course, it will spin and turn

you upside down. Then the computer will assist you back onto the track. Computer-

controlled bikes can crash too. If a bike hits another, both bikes will spin and

riders will turn upside down.

DISQUALIFIED. A bike that goes too far backwards on a course will be

disqualified. This occurs in a 2-player game or computer vs. player game.
