GAME SELECTION <continued>
When there are multiple cabinets linked together, the first
action of the player is to select whether to enter into a
Multiplayer or Single Player game.
The default selection is Multiplayer, so if the game is left
to time out on this screen, a Multiplayer Lobby will be
created where other players can then join.
If the player wants to enter into a Single Player game, they
must hold down the RESET BUTTON in order to be taken
to the Single Player Game Mode Select Screen.
During this selection sequence, a COUNTDOWN is displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen. If the player
does not hold down the RESET BUTTON to enter a Single Player game, the game will automatically set up a
Multiplayer Lobby once the time on the countdown has run out.
If the player has entered into a Single Player Game, they
will have the choice of choosing either QUICK RACE or
CHAMPIONSHIP.
The default selection is QUICK RACE and this can be
changed by moving the ‘Steering Wheel’ either left or
right. When the desired Game Mode is displayed the player
can make their selection by pressing the ACCELERATOR
pedal or START button to confirm their choice.
A COUNTDOWN timer is also displayed in the top left corner of the screen. If the timer is left to run out, whichever
Game Mode is highlighted at this time will be automatically selected and the game will advance to the next stage;
Track Select.
8-2-2 CHAMPIONSHIP - SINGLE PLAYER
Championship is a single player race against AI opponents over a sequence of tracks. This mode has three ‘tiers’
to it with each tier allowing the player to choose from 1 of up to 3 selectable tracks ranging from Easy to Hard in
difficulty. Success can be achieved within each tier by finishing within the top 3 positions in that race.
Progress is maintained by completing a lap on the selected track which acts as a checkpoint, adding on a set amount
of time to the COUNTDOWN timer displayed in the top left of the screen. The time handed out at each of these
laps/checkpoints becomes smaller on a harder difficulty setting.
Upon completing a Tier, the player will then be presented with the Track Select screen where they can then pick the
Track, Car and Transmission they want to use for the next Tier.
If the player runs out of time while racing on any of the tracks, they will be offered the option of inserting a credit
and continuing from the start of that same race.
