Twin Turbo V8 (Codemasters)

Typed up by Blughes

------------------------------------------------------------



Into the tight right-hander - get

the line right - OK! Down a

gear - BRAKES! - come off

them before the corner - twitch

the wheel right, look for the

way out of the corner, little

more power - just clip the apex

- FOOT DOWN! Prod it out of

the corder, sink back into the

seat as you watch the tacho

needle rocket towards the red

line...



Twin Turbo V7 is just SO

playable - just like driving a

real high performance car, you'll

need to concentrate hard as you

come up fast behind traffic, race

over the brows of hills not

knowing what lies beyond, and

hurtle round blind bends -

lightening fast reflexes and

calm, cool confidence are

the name of the game...

CONTROLS

The aim of the game is to reach the end of all five tracks intact,

within a time limit, and beat as many other drivers as you can to

the champagne ceremony at the end...

You can use either a joystick (Kempston, Sinclair 1 or 2) or the

keyboard to control your TwinTurbo V8,



 KEYS      ACTION     Joystick

   Q     Accelerate      UP

   A       Brake        DOWN

   O     Steer Left     LEFT

   P     Steer Right   RIGHT

If you need to pause the game, press H. Press it again to

restart.

Press ENTER to quit a game.



HINTS AND TIPS

* Always move off from a standstill in LOW GEAR.

* Change down a gear on sharp bends to use engine braking.

* Try to find the optimum speed for the most efficient

  gearchange while accelerating.

* You get an extra car for every stage that you complete. You

  start the game with three cars.

* Your car will spin if you drift off the road - if you're quick,

  you may be able to catch it. If you don't then you'll lose that

  car and carry on in a new one.

* Don't try to go full whack all the way - just like real

  performance car driving, you won't last very long!

* A countdown trip meter shows your progress along each of

  the tracks - watch this and the countdown timer to see how

  well you're doing.

So, strap yourself into the drivers seat, fire up the TwinTurbo V8

and tear up some tarmac!!!
