CALLING ALL BURNERS.........
WANTED
The Meanest, Fastest Burners on the Globe
We're not just talking about a race here, we're talking the race. The
ultimate trial of man and machine. Not a cross-country but a
cross-continent by whatever route gets you through.
Forget your BMX, we're talking serious bikes. Bikes that can handle the hot
and the cold. Machines that can take the rough and the smooth, and we don't
mean dirt tracks.
And what about you-mind getting your leathers dirty? Perhaps even playing
dirty? Know how to use a nitro injection? Is it first place or nothing? If
so, read on...
The ultimate challenge-to burn rubber in the hot dust of Africa, the
mystical green of Asia, the concrete jungles of American, the wide open
spaces of Europe..
If you've got what it takes-Hang On and make those suckers spit your dust.
Right! Where's The Action...?
Hang on! Your objective is to race across four continents, each with a different skill
class. Each continent contains a number of stages, and each stage must be completed
before the timer counts down to zero. Any time made up on one stage is added to the
time allowed on the next stage.
To qualify for the next class, you must complete all stages of a continent within the
stage times. The higher the class, the more treacherous the track, and the more stages
you must complete! To help you, your bike is fitted with the latest hi-tech turbo,
which you can kick into life once you reach your bike's regular top speed of 280km/h.
That's when you'll need all your wits about you, as the action really hots up!!
The rest is up to you - check out the controls, then give it your best shot, if
you got what it takes, that is...
OK! Let's Go...
Right! A short while after loading commences, the screen will display a map of the
world, roughly divided into four continents. These are AFRICA
(Beginner class, 6 stages), ASIA (Junior class, 10 stages), AMERICA
(Senior class, 14 stages) and EUROPE (Expert class, 18 stages).
If you have the diskette version of SUPER HANG-ON, you may now select which
continent you wish to race across. The continent of your choice will now
load into your computer memory.
Super Hang-On Play Options...
When the continent of your choice has loaded into your computer,
the screen will display a Menu with the available play options.
