Minimum requirements: PC Windows 95/NT 4, Pentium II, 16MB RAM, 16 bit High Colour, Sound Card (optional).
On the first screen click the PLAY button or press the Space Bar to continue. Clicking the High Score button or typing H on your keyboard will take you to the High Score Table (See the Top Menu below for more options).
The next screen is the Choose A Car screen. Use the Left and Right arrow buttons or the Left and Right arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through the cars available. The game comes with 4 cars but I have made the game so that other ones may be added in the future by downloading an add cars patch, but only if there is sufficient interest. When the car you want is displayed click the PLAY button or press the Space Bar to continue. Clicking the High Score button or typing H on your keyboard will take you to the High Score Table (See the Top Menu below for more options).
On the next main screen your chosen car will appear above the starting lights. These lights will change from red to yellow then green. When the lights are green you will be able to move your car. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard press the Up arrow to move forwards. Keeping the Up arrow key pressed, press the Left arrow key to move left and the Right arrow key to move right. Pressing the Down arrow key will allow you to move slowly backwards. The faster you go, the larger your skid will be when pressing the Left or Right keys at the same time as pressing the Up arrow key. The idea is to bump (dumpout!) the other car out of the arena. Whoever leaves the arena first is the loser. You score 100 points for each bump and an extra 1000 points if you win the round. There is no limit to the number of rounds you can go but it does get harder to remove your opponent in each successive round. Your score is shown in the top left of the screen and the round number on the right. Get a high score and click one of the High Score buttons or choose High Score Table from the top menu under Options, to register your score.
On every screen except the main arena, there is a Help button shown as a question mark (?) and a Close button shown as a cross (X). Clicking the Help button produces this help page and clicking the X closes the program. On any screen you can press Q on the keyboard to Quit.
