              'Register,register,register' messages and delays.

                nice game people wouldn't regret downloading!

 * What do you need to run this game ? *
                
                  - A 386 (486 recommanded )
                  - A VGA video card.
                  - 523 KB of conventionnal memory to run with SB FX/Musics.
                  - 536 KB of conventionnal memory to run with GUS Musics.
                  - The game can both work with XMS or EMS memory.
                    (even if it doesn't use it...)
                  - Run this game under DOS. 
                    (It WON'T work under WINDOWS)
                  
 * scrolling problems *

Select F4 in the main menu, then select f2 (anti-bug mode)
 
 Choose the 'anti-bug mode' ONLY if the scrolling bugs on your video card...
it solve the bug that make some external gfx flashing while playing.
(note that the scroll is much more smooth in normal mode...)

Note that:
'DEN-MIC1 -A' activate the antibug option... 
 
 * Sound options (F4 in menu) *

The game will first try to check for Sound blaster or compatible card, 
if you don't have any it will look for a GUS.
In case this autodectection fails, you can use the following prompt lines:

'DEN-MIC1 -T' will give you a Manual Sound setup.
'DEN-MIC1 -N' will skip EVERY Soundcards autodections.
'DEN-MIC1 -G' will skip GUS autodection.
'DEN-MIC1 -S' will skip Soundblaster autodection.

if you have both Gus and Sb,then you should run: 'DEN-MIC1 -S' if you want 
to hear GUS music during the tracks.

 * If the game doesn't work: * 
                  
It MAY work on 99.9 % of 386 (or better) computers. 
If there's a MAJOR bug in the scrolling,try the anti-bug mode in the 
GAME OPTION.
Others problems (like rebooting) may come from lack of conventionnal memory.
Run the game under DOS !!! (It WON'T work under Windows...)
All you have to do is to check your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to get more
conventionnal memory. 
 
* If the game is too slow * 

Run it without Sound support.

                                   P ......... Pause  
                    - 1St player keys:     (Blue car)

              I've noticed some problems with others keys (ALT and CTRL)
              using my new keyboard,
              but everything seemed to work perfectly using my old keyboard.
              You STILL can change every keys in the menu, but you can't use
              'P'(kept for pause) and 'ESCAPE' (kept for escaping...)
              Use the default keys and everything may work fine.

* Rules *

-One player mode:
 By going faster than the other car,  you can win a bonus if you manage 
to distance him, you have to go outside the play-screen in the good direction.

in the menu.
