The biggest problem is that sometimes you have to deal with the driving licence test. If you get lucky you can earn 5 extra points. If you fail, you will lose 5 points. It is random so in one game you will have it, while in another one you won't. In our competition there might be someone who will win on seven tracks (7x5=35 points) but he will not have the test. Another person can be runner-up on four tracks (4x4=16 points) and winner in three (3x5=15 points). Of course the second person is worse but if he gets lucky and is going to have the test, he will get 5 extra points and in total will have 36 A bit unfair...

@Turrican3
Same for me, this quiz is a truly torment I lose a lot of points and money. We'll have to learn all the answers by heart |

Well, if people play this game enough, then everyone will see the test plenty of times.

I don't know if it's WinUAE but i find the controls respond very poorly, there is a big contrast in comparison to ATR. I must repair my joystick to see if the same thing with a real Amiga !

I can imagine that. Also keep in mind this is a British game - thus some of the questions of the old man need you to think what would be correct when you're driving on the left side (e.g. "where do you have to position in a roundabout if you wanna go straight ahead" or "before a blind left curve where should you position yourself")...

There seemed to be a least 4 questions like that and I find it unlikely that it was meant to be like that since some of the questions ask for an exact measurement. The PSI tyre pressure is one question that this happens with unless i've always had faulty roms. From memory also the one at the train crossing and mabe the one about a car backing out are like this. Also i'm not sure if it only affects the driving intructor's questions, he's just the only one i've paid much attention to. Last edited by RickyC; 17 November 2009 at 00:16. |

Hints for hard level: sell 1 engine after track 1 so you have "engine level 1" on track 2. You can more easily beat hard tracks 2-4 with this weaker engine (just hold down fire all the time - you don't have to slow down for the jumps on track 2 and 4).
After track 4 you can then upgrade to engine level 3. Also only buy armor lvl3 ASAP (after track 1) and ram lvl3 and don't waste any weapons before track 6. By smart trading you should mostly have a small fortune after track 5. Now buy as many homing missiles as you can get and blast your way through the final tracks. Btw., if someone didn't know this yet: you can jump over trains with nitro... Last edited by john4p; 17 November 2009 at 11:39. |

For hard mode I always liked 2x engine. 3x engine is possible but too risky. Also the 2nd to last level is pure luck since the CPU cheat and can skip a whole area if they hit the train. Hell they can skip any area in the game if they get pushed to in to it. I've never mananged to jump a train with the nitro, I've never tried that hard but no matter when i activate it I crash and burn. |
