However, dedicating something so sickly depraved and violent as this diabolical piece of soul-poison to them just wouldn't seem a very nice thing to do. [. . . ] This can also be achieved by hitting Esc while in the main menu. Recover Car and Continue - If your car has become stuck, for instance it's lying on its roof at the bottom of a ravine, then this will recover it so you can continue with the race. Of course you could always just abort the current race instead which wouldn't cost you anything but just think of the money-making opportunities you might miss. Abort Race - Aborts the current race, and returns to the Start Race screen ready for the next race. Note that you can do this at any time during the race by hitting Control-A. This option cannot be cancelled, so you'd better be sure you really want to take it before hitting those keys. Options - Brings up the options menu which has the following three sub-options: Sound options ­ see page 5 (not in Win95 version) Graphics options ­ not available during race Controls options ­ see page 5 Load Game ­ see page 5 Save Game ­ see page 6 MAIN MENU 8 Abort Game - Aborts the game (not the race) and returns to the original main menu, ready for starting a new game or loading a saved one. Note that you can do this at any time (even during prerendered cut scenes) using Control-Q. ACTION REPLAY (not in 8Mb version) At any time during the race you can hit the Enter key to enter action replay mode. (The Enter key is on the numeric keypad. ) You can then play back a `tape' of events during the race and watch your antics again. How much of the race gets taped mainly depends on available memory. When the space for the action replay information fills up, the oldest stuff starts getting recorded over (just like all those shows you record and then never watch. ) Use the mouse to operate the `tape deck' controls (they are just like a VCR's with rewind, fast forward etc. ), or use the keyboard as described in the `Default controls' section. REWIND TO START FAST REWIND PLAY BACKWARDS PAUSE PLAY FORWARDS FAST FORWARD FAST FORWARD TO THE END CHANGE CAMERA VIEW Changing the camera view gives you three alternative views: Panning camera (default) - A glorious collection of panning overhead views of the action. It lets you see loads of stuff that you missed originally as your camera tracked your car. Use the left and right arrows to zoom the camera in and out. Action tracking camera - Similar to the panning camera except that it additionally switches to the best view for watching a good car wreck or a spot of pedestrian bashing just before the event is going to happen. Standard camera - Standard camera ­ the view through your windscreen. Remember that you can still use the arrow keys when in action replay mode to move the camera around, and hence see things from a different angle to the original one. And that's all you need to know to play the game. But read on and find out what else there is to enjoy. NETWORK PLAY (16Mb version only) If you're lucky enough to have some friends why not challenge up to 5 of them on one of the 7 different network games. Believe us, by the time you've finished, they won't be your friends. This option can be selected from the Main Menu. New Network Game - The first screen you are ushered to gives you the option to host or join a network game. Please note that only if you have the Carmageddon CD in your drive can you host a game (but your soon-not-to-be friends can play a network game by installing from your CD first of all).
