INTRODUCTION
THE ULTIMATE AERIAL EXPERIENCE NOW AVAILABLE FOR YOUR COMPUTER
All the thrills and skills of real skateboarding in this unique challenge to become
champion of the skating world.
Starting out from "Skate City" test your abilities amongst the numerous skateparks
improving your techniques in both freestyle and competitive action as you attempt
to complete the ultimate manoeuvre - the 720 degree twist while soaring through the air.
As the jammin' skateboarder you know you are, you've got to test your
skills in the toughest course any skateboarder has ever seen. You start
off with a hundred bucks in your pocket, your trusty skateboard, and the
awesome moves you've learned along the way. Find your way around the park
while dodging kamikaze cars, looney thugs and killer bees. You've only
got a short amount of time to work your way through each one of the four
levels, or classes, of difficulty. Show off your hot moves, and rack up
points to earn tickets to the parks. If you’re lucky, you might find some
loose bills lying around. Scoop ‘em up. You know you'd like to get the dough
to buy those cool duds and some of that hot equipment.
The Game
The player controls a skateboarder. The object of the game is to perform stunts
accumulating points for which skate park tickets are obtained. In the parks you
compete to gain medals and cash. Cash may be used to purchase better equipment
(e.g. boards, shoes, pads, protective helmets) which improves the performance of the player.
To begin game, plug in joystick and press FIRE button.
You then skate around "Skate City" visiting the four shops and four parks.
There are four parks in "Skate City" each of which may be visited only once on each
level of the game. The parks are Downhill, Jump, Ramp and Slalom. Tickets are
used as the parks are visited (at the bottom of the screen). Extra tickets are
awarded at 5.000, 15.000, 25.000, 35.000 point etx.
Medals are awarded for good performance in the parks with cash prizes and bonus
points. After visiting each park, a medal table is displayed.
There are shops which sell boards, helmets, pads and shoes. Shops display the price
of goods they sell. Approaching the counter at the correct place will result in a sale
if you have enough money. If a purchase is successful cash is deducted from the player
(display by $ sign). Bonus points are awarded for remaining cash at the end of the game.
If the player does not enter a park within the time limit displayed on the bar timer
he is pursued by killer bees. These become more dangerous if the player does not enter a
park quickly. The player should avoid contact with other characters appering on the screen.
Included on side 2 of this cassette is a recording of the original soundtrack music
from the coin op machine. Load in the game as instructed and when fully loaded, remove
the cassette and insert it into your HiFi player. Rewind the tape fully on side 2.
Turn the music off if applicable in your program and turn your HiFi volume up. You
will then experience the full arcade atmosphere with scintillating reality to make this
game an absolutely captivating experience.
