- -About HypeRace
- HypeRace is an overhead racing game. It features 32 color graphics.
- Each of the cars feature about 160 frames of animation. If you are
- running the game on a machine with one megabyte of memory then Hyperace
- allows three cars on screen. If it is running on machines with two
- megabytes of memory or more, Hyperace allows four cars on screen at once.
- Any of the cars can be human controlled. It was written using AMOS.
-
- -Floppy Disk Users
- The disk "HR1:" is self booting so simply insert it into "DF0:" and
- reboot the system. If you have a second drive insert "HR2:" into it.
- Otherwise disks will be requested by the game when needed.
-
- -Hard Disk Installation
- Step1) Copy the HypeRace files to the a drawer of your choice.
- Step2) Open a shell window
- Step3) Type the following:
- cd s:
- ed startup-sequence
- Step4) Anywhere in the startup sequence type:
- assign hr1: <type the location of the game ie

- assign hr2: <the same location as above>
- Step5) save the changes and exit ed.
-
- **** Important Note!! ****
- HypeRace requires a lot of memory to run. If you only have one
- megabyte then you probably will not have enough memory to run HypeRace
- while workbench is running. Even if you have two megabytes you still
- might only have enough memory free to run the three car version. It
- would be advised to use the disk based version. This version does not
- open a workbench so all of your computer's memory can be used.
