hehe, the game assumes that you have an AZERTY keyboard at the name entry on the highscores table!

Score: 32,217

The AZERTY thing caught me out too, comically, so this picture is a second take...!

Rock'n'Roll used to do the same thing. Confused the hell out of me when I was a kid, especially because one of the cheat codes used those letters.

Hey guys, I've just posted a few hints and tips on the Lemon compo thread, so if you're new to this, or just want to be nosy, check it out. This is one of my favourite Amiga games of all time - so lets have a really intense battle before the summer break !

It's me or the car turns less on the original version than the multiplayer version? It's a nightmare enter in the pit zone

I've always played the multiplayer version,the original version is much more difficult,I don't like it.

The game has a sort of assisted turns,however you must initiate the turn first then the game turns the car itself being adjusted to the bend radius.
The smooth ride is the best advice and avoid slow cars(almost impossible).You don't get frustrated if some car passes you,not all the cars go so fast and when finish the compo play the multiplayer version

Playing on WinUAE (cycle exact),my miggy is too fast.

This is a video that I made long time ago:

lifeschool,

Thanks for the guide. Just one question... where is the tyre indicator light? I can't seem to see it in any of the screenshots

Regards,
Lonewolf10

lilalurl · 30 May 2011, 16:34

It is (hidden) under the left hand, so if you want to check you have to steer the wheels

.

Check frikilokooo's video at 0:06 for instance.

Yes, the tyre 'T' light indicator is located under the drivers left thumb, the engine 'E' indicator light is located under the drivers right thumb. The engine is only a problem if you're using manual gears.

The game seems to have a narrow window where it will allow a car to enter the pits. If you miss this window, the game thinks you've missed the pits and seems to steer the car away. It's odd, I know. I get around this by cutting it on the grass and driving into the pit late head-on so that there's no steering involved.

@ frikilokooo - Nice score!, 66.5 by level 5 - you keep going pal, seems like you're the only one holding the EAB candle so far. Let's not have another whitewash - any more EAB readers wanna join?? This is the last one before the Summer break you know...?

Graham Humphrey · 11 June 2011, 00:43

No positions gained but a narrowly better score - I only overtook eight cars on the French circuit but at least I finished this time.

Oh, and eight days to go - where is everybody...?

I don't really like it so I haven't been playing it, I thought in F1 the slow drivers were supposed to get out of the way of the fast drivers.

Back before health & safety ruined the racing aspect in formula 1 (e.g. when the game was made) the faster drivers had to negotiate a way past the slower (lapped) drivers. Blue flags (to tell drivers a car was about to lap them and they must let them through) were only introduced sometime in the last 10 years or so. F1 has been going for decades.

I'm very busy working on something I want finished ASAP. I do hope to get time over the weekend to play it for a few hours.
