Turbo Out Run CHEAT MODE: After the countdown, type 'WEARPEEPEL' to enable these keys: [D] - Extra turbos. [T] - Extra time. [B] - Jump back a level. [N] - Next level. [F] - See ending. [G] - Loose a credit. [1] to [9] - Jump to corresponding level. Also, if you pause the game and press [F3], then push the joystick forwards, you will get 10,000 extra points. TIPS: Go for the manual gearbox at the start - the auto isn't flexible enough for really steep corners. Use the turbo sparingly - and only when you know it is safe to do so. The car becomes difficult to control at high speed. Throughout the game you will see a blonde poseur in a 959 trying to overtake you. Sometimes your girlfriend decides she's had enough and gets out of your car into the 959 at a Staging Post. However if she stays you get a kiss and a million points. Furthermore if she stays for another four stages you get a two million point bonus and so-on. The bad news is, there's no real reason as to why she stays or goes - not even whether you crash or not. NEW YORK Fairly easy this one - full speed all the way and little need for steering if you can stay in the centre of the track. Use the turbo immediately at the start and then again as soon as it has run out - you won't overheat until later. WASHINGTON D.C. Once through the check-point activate the turbo to shake of the police car (listen out for the siren just before he arrives on screen) and whizz through the storm. If the police car catches up with you he'll hassle you and try and hit your car - very frustrating. There are a couple of nasty twists that come up suddenly - the best way to tackle them is to stay on the inside of the corner, which also means you avoid any cars lurking around the bend. Watch out for the water on the sweeping roght hander - brake too late and you'll end up in the trees. You'll zoom around this with practice. PITTSBURGH Snow storms throughout this stage make it quite tricky to see the corners until they are right under your bumper so take care until you know the route. The first two corners can be taken at full throttle, but from then on it's gears and brakes all the way. Turbo away from the police car as before. When coming up to the third major corner beware - its a very sharp 90 degree left hander. Change in to low gear, stamp on the brake and throw the wheel hard left and you'll drift round. Accelerate once the car is straight again. This technique is used throughout to overcome nasty corners - so once mastered the game instantly becomes easier. INDIANAPOLIS Nice long straight right after the C.P. - so use the turbo while you can. First corner must be taken in low gear - it starts gently enough but soon whips round to throw you out into the side. STAGING POST NUMBER 1. At the end of every four stages you get the chance to customise the car - choose HIGH GRIP TYRES this stage. CHICAGO The first of the night driving stages means the corners come from nowhere. Watch out also for the bumps in the road. Strangely similar to INDIANAPOLIS in layout! ST LOUIS This stage is mostly confined to two stages throughout. Shake off hassle from the police car when you can. The cops try to knock you into the signs which will flip you over if you're not careful. Be very careful of the sharp left-hander at the bottom of the hill. At the point where the road gets split bythe barrels, stay over to the left hand side to avoid the bumps on the other lane. Hitting the barrels scores extra points but slows you down. MEMPHIS The road snakes around alot - timing is essential through the valleys of rocks. This one takes practice to learn the route and where to brake. ATLANTA Another snowy one! Fairly wide road doesn't make things too hard although the drifts cover the outside lanes - so stay central while you can. STAGING POST NUMBER 2. Select the SPECIAL TURBO from the remaining options, it makes you accelerate that much faster. MIAMI Use turbo instantly here because your engine will be cold. Watch out for the first corner, though - it is very tight indeed. At one point the road narrows to one lane. Use the turbo down the hill and into the palm lined avenue, once again with a nasty corner at the end. NEW ORLEANS The first two corners can be taken flat out. Keep an eye out for the 'S-BEND' sign - low gear and brakes are needed to get through. Once through the valley there is a fast straight section before one more set of 'S-BENDS'. SAN ANTONIO As in New Orleans the first two corners are easy but after that the four lanes road splits into two seperated by trees. Don't try and cross through the gaps - you won't make it! Stay to the right, the left has bumps and road blocks on it. Watch out too for the oil in the road at the right hander. DALLAS Desert section with a very wide bare road. Use the turbo where you can, but beware the unmarked corners - they have strategically placed boulders just at the point where you spin off! Beware too the rubble on the road and the unmarked 90 degree corners - generally a very tricky level. STAGING POST NUMBER 3. You get given the HIGH POWER ENGINE like it or not - although it doesn't actually make a blind bit of difference. OKLAHOMA CITY Low bridges and fields of yellow flowers. Lots of nice 90 degree left- handers that aren't marked at all. The fourth corner must be taken very slowly otherwisw you'll end up in the front room of one of the houses at the side of the road. DENVER This is definately the hardest stage of the game - heavy blizzards throughout and little sign-posting. Once onto the wide sweeping freeway stay dead centre and don't steer!! Use the turbo while you can. There is only one other place to use the turbo and that is after the S's at the end of the freeway to the C.P. Take the S's at a walking pace to have any chance of survival. As soon as you see the sign for the C.P. don't relax because there's one more valley. When you see the real end of the stage use the turbo if available. GRAND CANYON Take the first left hander very slowly, otherwise simple. LOS ANGELES The final stage and probably the easieston the game! Take the corners fast but try not to come of the road at any point - its crowded with buildings. THE FINISH As a photo couldn't be got of this screen a brief description will have to do! There is a big close up of the FERRARI F40 with the driver and his girlfriend sitting on the bonnet facing away from you, arm in arm. The PORSCHE 959 poser drives up, gets out of his car, sobs, gets in and roars off again! docs typed by DOUG.....
