Power Drift - Instructions

It's fast....it's furious......it's POWER DRIFT!
Choose from twelve wacky drivers, like Jason the Skinhead or Jeronimo
the Mohican and rev your way through 27 stomach chuming circuits!
Watch the dusty fly and the wheels spin as you screech over a 'roller
coaster' track and wave goodbye to your opponents! Roar over mounds of
mud, drive through the desert, slip 'n' slide on snow covered tarmac
and race your way through the night to face the final lap!


MENU OPTIONS
 The following options are available from the game menu:

1)Sensitivity Adjust
  In joystick/keyboard control mode, this causes a cycling of the three
  sensitivities (speed with which the car turns from side to side). In
  mouse control mode, this enables the user to define the required
  scaling for the mouse and a seperate instruction screen is displayed.

2)Control Adjust
  This toggles between mouse and joystick/keyboard control.
  Control selected at startup is mouse.

To start the game, click either mouse button if mouse control mode is
selected, otherwise press the joystick fire button or either SHIFT key.
The course selection screen will the be entered. This is used to select
the course which you wish to play. Use left and right to select the
course you wish. Press the gear change control when the driver arrow
points to the driver that you want to select. Altermatively, press
SPACE instead to select, without game music. After this, the course
will be loaded off disk and the game will begin.
