6. HOW TO PLAY
l
FINAL LAP 3 Upright is a race game that allows one to eight players to compete
against time and/or each other. Eight separate games can be connected, and up to
eight (8) players can race simultaneously.
l
Each player manipulates his/her car independently by using the steering wheel, gas
pedal, and shifter, trying to cross the
line first while staying within the course
and avoiding a crash with opponents vehicles and/or computer-controlled cars.
l
After inserting the proper coin(s), a player starts the game by stepping on a pedal.
l
Once a player starts a game, he/she is asked to select a course to race on. Screens on
other linked idle cabinets display a message urging others to enter. Additional
players can enter the race by inserting the proper coin(s) and depressing a pedal
within 15 seconds. If a race has already begun, others can enter and enjoy another
race together. One person can always play if no others enter that particular race.
l
FINAL LAP 3 offers four (4) different race courses from which players select one for
each race. A player has 1.5 seconds to select a course by turning the steering wheel,
and confirm their selection by stepping on a pedal. If players select different courses,
one course is decided by majority vote. In the event of a tie, one of the selected
courses is randomly chosen by the computer.
l
Once all the players have selected their courses, or if 15 seconds passes, the timer
counts down to
and the race starts with a “GO” sign.
l
The race continues until the timer runs out. The player to complete a lap will
extend the game time for all players in the same race.
l
After completing the preset number of laps (operator adjustable), players reach the
finish line and the thrill of the checkered flag.
l
When players reach the finish line or time runs out, racing statistics, including the
player’s ranking and lap times, are shown.
l
When a player wins a race in which two or more persons are entered, a Championship
Celebration is shown on the monitor.
l
Players can enter their scores with their initials onto the screen by using the steering
wheel and stepping on the gas pedal to set.
l
Any initials entered are reset once the game’s power is turned off.
