INTRODUCTION
Compete in the TRANS-USA Road Race across thousands of miles of American roads in this superbly animated game that brings all the thrills and spills of road racing to your home computer.

As one of the 84 starters you have to battle through the field of amateur and pro racers avoiding hazards, potholes, cars and especially other riders.

By collecting the roadside refreshments and using gears correctly you will be able to keep your energy levels high enough to climb into top gear and accept the winners medal.

Extra features include smooth multi-layer scrolling, superb animated graphics and random time trials to keep you literally "on your toes".

INSTRUCTIONS
Cycling 1.000 miles around the USA is no mean feat, be careful not to start off too fast on the pedals! If you over do it early in the race, you could end up suffering from exhaustion and be forced into an early retirement from the race!

Grabbling the soda bottles from the side of the road will provide you with that "essential" extra energy to complete the race! You only need to run over the bottle with your bike to get that much needed drink.

Watch out for potholes in the road, these will cause you to fall and lose much needed time and speed. Cars and other riders will also hinder you, so watch out for them.

At random points during the race, a time trial will be sprung on you, if you fail to complete that section of the race in the time you have been allotted you will be eliminated.
