HINTS AND TIPS
MANIC FROGS - These creatures grab hold
of your car, slowing you down hampering
your jumping ability. Move your joystick
rapidly from left to right to shake them
off.
COMPUTER CAR - This is your main
adversary. Avoid where possible because
it will do his utmost to send you into
oblivion. To destroy the computer car
jump into the air and land on it.
TNT LORRY - Due to the nature of their
load, these vehicles are impervious to
any sort of collision so avoid them at
all costs.
MINE DROPPERS - This adversary, as his
name suggests, drops high explosives in
your path. Dodge the mines and overtake
him or jump on him.
CRATES & OIL SLICKS - These appear from
time to time strewn over the road.
Avoid these as best you can as crashing
into them will spin you and slow you
down, wasting time.
NOTE: MINE DROPPERS don't appear in the
Commodore 64 version.
