Hi list,
I have been trying out the demo version of Rail Racer and was doing
pretty well at the game. However, in my last game I was on lap 7 and
decided to turn in for a pit stop. I got the usual pitting nex lap
message, I stopped, and I never started again. I just sat there in the
pit,
HI,
What you've got to do is tap the left and right arrows to refuel. Each tap
gives i think it's 50 units. Also, you can hit enter when you've added
enough fuoel. If you fill up, you'll start on your own. ONe more thing,
the up arrow will ad a nitro.
Hope this helps,

Hi Che,
While playing Rail Racer tonight I was wondering if you might add some
sort of track tryout feature where I could drive the course without
actually running a race against Art or a human player. Here is the
reason I suggest this.
When I first began playing Rail Racer I had allot of

I'd be interested to know, how the hole retroremakes crowd work, being as
many of their games (for obvious reasons), do not involve incredibly complex

Hi,
Ah, I see now. Apparently, allot has changed since the last time I
played the game. During the beta cycle allot of this was automatically
done for you. I made an assumption this was still the case.
So I'll have to go back and read the new instructions to find out what
