@Aaron,
Here is the instructions for:
P C S CAR RACING CIRCUIT
PRODUCED BY
PCS GAMES
WRITTEN BY
CARL MICKLA
SOUNDS BY
PHIL VLASAK
VERSION 1.1
COPYRIGHT 1997
Feel the sweat run down your back wile you try to control your
super charged computer down the straight away towards the next
critical turn. Will you make it or will it be curtains?
you can race your car against opponents on five different tracks.
you use your ear and hand skills to successfully navigate a turn.
You are being challenged by 25 of the
world's best drivers and if you beat the record score, your name is
saved. Go out there and make them smell your exhaust and let them
hear your tires squeal.
OPTION MENU
You may use your up and down arrow keys to check out all the
choices. Hit the ENTER key to select your choice.
The first option is Examine TRACK RECORDS.
There are two
short and three long races. The two short races are
two lap qualifiers. One track is an oval and the other is a figure
eight. The three long races are two ten lappers of the oval and
figure eight, and the other is a road race course twelve and one
half miles long.
After you make a course choice you will be at the starting
line, your engine will start. Then hold down the CONTROL or alt
key and the UP arrow key to shift gears until you hear the car pick
up speed.
LETTER HOT KEYS
Letter hot keys can do the jobs of control, arrow, and function keys.
For example, the 'G' or 'g' keys will do the job of the control
plus up arrow keys in shifting gears.
You need to do this whenever your speed gets to low and you need to
gather speed quickly. When your engine sounds like it is at a
comfortable speed. Take your finger off the control a
nd arrow keys
or g key. Once you have your speed up
to a level you like then do not use the control or alt or g key.
After a threshold is met the control or alt or g key has no more
effect than the up arrow or f keys.
FASTER AND SLOWER KEYS
As you press the up arrow key or f key you will hear a series of
tones from the PC speaker to represent the speed of your car.
The up and down arrow keys or f and s keys are used to control
the speed. Up arrow or f key makes the car go faster and down arrow
or s key makes the car go slower.
Using the right and left arrow keys or r and l keys will allow you
to turn right or left.
The space bar is the break, and will slow you up quickly.
While you're traveling, you will hear a single high pitch tone
and the word LEFT or RIGHT. This is a warning telling you that a
turn is coming up and y
ou will have to negotiate a left or right
turn. The turn is successfully navigated by listening for three
quick high tones, and turning by hitting the appropriate arrow key
or l or r key.
A safe turn is navigated when you hit the arrow key or l or r key
on tone two, three, or four after the three high tones. We suggest
that you experiment on a qualifying race at a slow speed because
the time to hit the arrow key or letter key to turn depends on the
speed you are going. If you hit the
arrow key or letter key one tone after the third high tone you will
be on the track shoulder early in the turn. If you hit the arrow
key or letter key at the fifth tone after the third high tone, you
will be on the shoulder
late in the turn. If you are on the shoulder you will have a speed
loss and hear a bump sound. If you miss the safe or shoulder zones
you will crash.
DASH BOARD GAGES:
You can use the functio
n keys or number keys as your dash board.
F1 or 1 key will display the help screen.
Note, this will pause the action of the game.
Hitting any key will resume it.
F2 or 2 key will allow you to change the sound settings.
F4 or 4 key tells you what lap you're on.
F5 or 5 key is your speedometer in miles per hour.
F6 or 6 is a clock, how much time has past since the race started.
F7 or 7 key tells you how far you have traveled in the race.
F8 or 8 key gives the time difference between you and your nearest
opponent.
F10 or 0 key will allow the game to work better with braille
displays. This feature toggles on or off, and your last setting is
saved to disk at the end of the race. The next time you race, your
setting will be used. This feature does two things. It leaves the
cursor on the word of choice in the menu, and adds a punctuation<
br />mark to represent your speed and the pc speaker tone during the
race. With a braille display you will get a dash for a normal
tone, and an equals sign for a high tone.
Now go and smell the gas and rubber, you will be running so close
together, clawing for every tenth of a second, running closer
wheel-to-wheel than you ever have before.
