Pro Mountain Bike Simulator
===========================

Introduction
------------
You have control of a mountain bike and your objective is to race over a series of
hazardous obstacles with the intention of finishing with the fastest time.  Your opponent
can either be a friend or the computer.

Skillful use of the gears will help you over the mountains and speed over
the ramps.  You must also get off and carry your bike over certain
obstacles e.g. potholes and wooden logs.



Game Objective
--------------
1 or 2 players must race over a series of obstacles with the objective of finishing first or finishing with the fastest time, (the fastest time being
the winner).  If a 1 player game is selected, then the top biker is 
computer controlled, and you control the bottom biker.

Obstacles found in the game are:

Logs		- these must be walked over.
Holes		- these must also be walked over.
Rocks		- either avoided by steering or by walking over them.
Swamps 		- slows you down.
Ramps		- if you are riding, they will make you jump.
Mountains 	- you can ride up these but they will slow you down.
		  If you stop on a mountain side you will have to lower
     		  your gears (minimum 2nd).
