3- THE STORY :
This time you're at the wheel of the fabulous Ferrari F40 and in a race against time in a bid
to smash a stolen car racket - the only problem is the guys involved in the racket are
corrupt policemen ! As you go tearing through four states of America in search of the
corrupt police, you will also have problems with the honest road cops who don't appreciate
the sight of a Ferrari F40 crossing their state at 200 miles per hour.... But, it ain't that
easy....
You must plan your route carefully from the maps of each state which are displayed on
screen and which show the actual American freeways that you will travel on - Be careful,
the shortest routes aren't always the easiest as the sight and sound of a blue flashing light
will soon make you realise.
Your Ferrari is furnished with the latest radar which will enable you to detect police road
blocks which may have been set up to catch you, therefore keep an eye on the Freeway
junctions as you may be forced to change your route !
4- YOUR MISSION :
At the beginning of the game, your starting position and the location you have to reach will
be shown on the map. You will have to consult the map repeatedly in order to know the
direction you are supposed to take.
At each crossroad, your on board computer will indicate the direction and number of the
road you can take.
The game represents the actual roads of the 4 states of the USA that you can travel in.
If you notice a road which would connect the one you're on, you can cut across fields, but
watch out for telegraph poles and Milestones !
As soon as you start your engine, the countdown will start. If it reaches zero, your Ferrari
will explode !
5- Your Ferrari dashboard:
Your F40, property of the FBI intervention department, has been specially adapted for your
mission... Its dashboard represents the following elements:
1 RPM counter
2 speed unit indicator (KM/H or MP/H)
3 speedometer
4 gear shift indicator: High (H) or Low (L)
5 digital score counter
6 digital bonus counter
7 timer / direction indicator: tells you which direction to take when the road splits, and
the road number (as on the map)
8 indicates the distance to the closest radar (or police car)
9 indicates the location of radar (or a police car)
10 indicates the working condition of the radar detector.
11 indicates the direction the radar or police car is going
12 connects/disconnects the radar detector
6- SCORE AND BONUS :
Your score will increase with the distance covered. At the end of each stage, a bonus will
be added to your score.
At the beginning of the 1st chase, your bonus counter will be set to 20000 points (40000 at
the 2nd chase, 60000 at the 3rd one....) For each chase bonus the time allowed
corresponds to the ideal route as estimated by your on board computer. The counter goes
down rapidly with the distance covered. Each time the Ferrari succeeds in breaking
through a police cordon, 10000 points are added to your bonus. Your bonus will be earned
if you arrive at your destination before the timer reaches zero.
