- When you read through the game manual and quick reference card, you will
- become acquainted with CYBER RACE game play. In order to provide
- you with additional information that was not included in those paper
- documents, we have included this README file in the game software.
-
- Some of the information may relate to technical issues while other remarks
- offer greater detail concerning the game design. We encourage you to read
- all of the information written below.
-
- * CyberRace requires at least 524K free conventional memory.
-
- * If you are using a sound card other than SoundBlaster and the boot disk,
- you must add to the corresponding files on your boot disk the sound card
- configuration information from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- * The Num Lock must be off in order for the keypad controls to function.
-
- * Your joystick or ThrustMaster will work only during the race; you
- must use keyboard controls during the cinematic sequences.
-
- * If you use a ThrustMaster input device connected to a sound card game
- port, the "Hat" controls may not function properly. In such cases,
- we advise you to connect your ThrustMaster to a separate game port.
-
- * The number of laps you need to complete a race varies from race to race.
- In the opening race, you have up to 5 laps to the finish. In the second
- race, there are 6. The further you progress in the game, the more laps for
- you to race.
-
- * If you use a slower computer, such as a 386 20 MHz, and you race with
- high detail landscapes, the sound effects may echo due to greater demands
- placed on the system.
-
- * When you use the Electronic Tablet to remove items from your sled, you are
- not refunded the money you originally paid for those items.
-
- * When you activate the Replay option during a cinematic sequence, you will see
- that sequence again from its beginning. Even though the game will preserve
- your previous selections from the Strategy Options and Electronic Tablet,
- the replayed sequence will stop at these screens again to allow you to make
- additional selections.
-
- * When you activate the Replay option at the very start of a race, you may see
- only a freeze frame or a very short repeating scene from the current race.
- The replay will not show the previous cinematic sequence or previous race.
-
- * If the race seems to suddenly jump back to a previously travelled portion of
- the race, check the Game Control Menu to see if you accidentally activated
- the Replay option.
-
- * When you wish to pause the game, bring up the Game Control Menu rather than
- pressing your computer's Pause button.
-
- * If you experience any sound problems, or intermittent problems with the game,
- it is probably related to IRQ or DMA conflicts with your sound card. Follow
- your sound card's directions to reconfigure your card to run at a lower
- interupt number. We recomend running at an IRQ of 5, and a DMA of 1.
