SABATAGE = This damages the most powerful racer when you choose a race
LOANSHARK = It only increases your money, but you have to pay it back soon
If you want to know the best buys, then that would be the SPIKES for being able to hit your opponent from the back side and does great damage, and the
SABATAGE for at least getting ONE person weak and possibly out of the way.
(For those of you who own the shareware version of this game, you can only get certain ones at certain times. It basically randomizes what you can buy, but if you have the registered version, you can get these weapons ANYTIME you want to. Keep in mind of course that these options are only available if you are playing a game with the weapons ability.) The LOAN SHARK can be good or bad for you. First off, please remember tha the LOAN SHARK will not give you any money until you have raced on a track, and have won at least third place when you did. It helps you get some money if you are short on funds, and you can try to purchase a better vehicle if you think you can get enough money for it.
The problem with this is that you have to pay this money back after 3 races and there is an interest charge when you pay it back. If you don't pay it back, well, lets just say that you will be in deep trouble. Mines are okay, but the trouble is that they can effect you to if you are not careful. You see, mines are only used to slowdown as well as damage other cars, but if you planted a mine and none of the cars hit the mine, and you go around a lap to the area where the mine is, you can, if fact, take damage from your own mines.
Please be wary of this. (Keep in mind that the extra weapons option is not available to you if you choose to race without weapons.)
13.) CAN THE CPU PLAYERS GET THESE WEAPONS TO?
==============================================
Yes, they can get the same stuff as you can when you are racing, so do watch out for that. Just so you know, the only thing the CPU cannot do is SABATAGE your car. (Apparently, you have some good security on your car.) You can also tell when they have certain stuff during the race by watching their features when you are racing. If you see spikes on the bumpers of any vehicle, then they OBVIOUSLY have spiked bumpers, if you see a car shoot out flames on it's back side of the car, then they have rocket nitros, but if you see something come out of their rear and it explodes when you touch it, then they OBVIOUSLY have mines. Watch out if they have ANY of these abilities.
14.) IF THE CPU CAN BUY NEW WEAPONS, THEN SURELY THEY CAN BUY NEW VEHICLES?
===========================================================================
Actually, no, they can't. For some ODD reason, the character that started with a car will still be driving the same car until the end of the game. You are the only person who can buy a new vehicle, no matter what. The reason for this is to make sure the CPU doesn't cheat and suddenly get rich and all the CPU opponents get the DELIVERATOR in one game. I mean think about it, do you want to race up against everybody who ALL have DELIVERATORs in ANY race you go in?
Although I do have to admit that the game is rather easy if you are a highly experienced racer.
15.) WELL THEN, CAN YOU TELL ME WHO OWNS WHAT VEHICLE?
======================================================
Well, okay, I'll list who has what vehicle with their name next to the car name. This can be important to you if you know how to use the info...
BOGUS BILL = VAGABOND
FARMER TED = VAGABOND
LIZ ARDEN = DERVISH
DIESEL JOE = DERVISH
MIC DAIR = DERVISH
MORI SATO = SENTINEL
SUZY STOCK = SENTINEL
IRON JOHN = SENTINEL
CHER STONE = SENTINEL
LEE VICE = SHRIEKER
DARK RYDER = SHRIEKER
GREG PECK = SHRIEKER
MAD MAC = WRAITH
MOTOR MARY = WRAITH
MATT MILER = WRAITH
CLINT WEST = WRAITH
NASTY NICK = DELIVERATOR
JANE HONDA = DELIVERATOR
SAM SPEED = DELIVERATOR
DUKE NUKEM = DELIVERATOR
As you can see, this game does have a wide range of racers. Plus, you can sort of tell who will drive in which race, just by watching who enters what race.
Please also remember that you can knock out a racer when you choose a face at the beginning of the game that represents a character in the game. This can be very helpful if you want to get to the top by taking out, at least, one good driver.
16.) IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHO'S FACE SHOULD I USE TO TAKE THAT PERSON OUT?
==========================================================================
DUKE NUKEM!!! (He looks like the one in blonde, buzzcut hair with shades, and has a silly grin on his face. That's the person to be as when you race in this game, and if you want to get to the top without any trouble from him.) The reason for this is that he has an armor rating that is higher than the game will allow you to have. He basically has an armor rating of 5 instead of the normal highest, which is 4. (I don't know why they made such a tough character since he is not the last boss in the game.)
17.) CAN DUKE NUKEM BE BEATEN IF YOU WERE TO RACE AGAINST HIM?
==============================================================
Yes, but it will require a lot of skill and experience. It will take you the whole entire race to actually take him out if you were to use your guns and other weapons. As mentioned, he has an armor rating that is not possible for you to get. Beating him is possible, but it is going to be tough to do since he is so tough and will be just as fast as you if you have the same type of car he has. So, If you plan to choose a face, please choose this one to make the game a little easier or you.
18.) CAN THE CPU AMMO SUPPLY RUN OUT DURING A RACE?
===================================================
Yes, they too can only fire their weapons for so long before they have to pick up more ammo during the race. This also includes nitros and mines. (Although
I have noticed that sometimes the racers do have a way of catching up to you when you are way ahead of the race. How can that be?)
19.) HOW MANY RACE TRACKS ARE THERE IN THIS GAME?
=================================================
There are 18 unique tracks to race on, and the secret track with the boss car on that track, so that makes 19 tracks. In the SHAREWARE, there is only 6 unique tracks available.
20.) WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THESE TRACKS?
==========================================
Really nothing, except that each track has is own UPs and DOWNs if you are not careful. What I mean is, some of the tracks are tricky if you don't know the track well. As mentioned before, if you race on a new track you have not seen before at all, practice on it on an easier level, then try to race in that track with the other bad boys/girls.
21.) IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THESE TRACKS?
===================================================================
Okay, here is the complete info that I can tell you about the tracks so far...
A.) Some tracks have gaps or shortcuts which allow you to be able to get to the other side of the track, but you can get caught taking shortcuts when you do this. Please be very careful when using shortcuts. Sometimes the game will let you slip by once or twice, but once in a while, the game will not give you any winnings what so ever because you cheated by taking a shortcut through a gap you saw. So if for some reason you didn't win any money from a race, this is why. (Sometimes going backwards can cause the game to not give you money either.)
B.) You can, in fact, shoot innocent people that stand near the road of this game. They are just your average local fans, cheering for their favorite racer. Another thing you can do is run over these people as well. Of course by doing so will slow you down, but the blood marks it make when you kill them, give the race track a nice color of BLOOD. (Talk about painting a town RED...LOL)
C.) Some race tracks have some interesting 3-D effects. Like some of the race tracks that are in the city are rather interesting to see when you are racing.
D.) Some tracks have some bonuses, and/or has some hazards that you need to watch out for. Like one race track has speed boost areas of the track.
What I mean is on certain tracks, they have speed boosters that help you go faster for a short time. It's most used for if you have low nitros and you want to get a short boost for a short time. You will know the track has speed boosters if you see several arrows embedded in the road so you can drive over them and go faster. (Yes, there is another track with arrows on them, but those are WHITE arrows, they don't look like they are embedded on the road.)
E.) Some race tracks have walls or corners which can sometimes slow you down to a halt if you are not careul of how you turn on the corners. Plus, hitting corners can damage your car by doing so, this is something you need to remember when you are making a turn near a wall or solid object.
As you can see, tracks can be good for you, or bad for you if you are not careful on how to treat your car while racing, or the track for that matter.
22.) CAN YOU AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON BEING A GOOD DRIVER?
===============================================================
Okay, I'll see what I can do, but keep in mind that everyone has their own strategy for playing this game, using this may not be the right thing for you or it may not work to your advantage, but some tips here will be rather useful when you are playing this game...
A.) Always upgrade your tires first, handling is going to be important to you if you race with a new vehicle. Then upgrade your armor next, unless you plan to try to out run your opponent, then upgrade your engines. If you are playing without weapons, then upgrade your engines next, not armor.
B.) If you are low on cash, ask LOANSHARK for some, but you better pay it back soon or you will be in a bad situation.
C.) Do your best to take out the last driver if you are falling behind, being third is better than last.
D.) When you are about to race, don't start out early, let the pack pass you, the reason is you want to be able to do some damage to the other cars so that you at least have a better chance of taking out a car or 2 or 3. Plus by doing this, you won't take damage, you will dish out damage. But do try to catch up to the pack so you don't fall behind.
E.) During a race, do your best to collect the "$" symbols on the road to get yourself more money for yourself. The problem with this is that if you finish last, you do not get any of the money you collected during a race.
This also applies if you took a shortcut through a wall or side road.
F.) Try to keep up with your ammo supply. Collect the ammo icons when ever possible to make sure you don't run out of ammo to soon. Also try to spare your ammo so you can get some good hits in. (This is only important if you are playing a game with the weapons option on.)
G.) If you are a first time racer, and you are stuck with the VAGABOND, maybe getting a loan from the LOADSHARK is not such a bad idea. You do get a nice some of money, but the money you get varies with the car you have, so remember this. Also remember that you have to pay it back, or else.
Also remember that he will only give you the money if you have won some races.
H.) If you do win a race, and you have enough money for it, REPAIR your car first. The damage you took can accumulate if you don't start to repair your car.
As you can already tell, this will require some skill if you want some of these tips to work for you. It might be best if you played the game a few times to get to know the moves, vehicles, and other things before you try to actually play a real game.
23.) COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT EACH ICON MEANS WHEN YOU GET THEM DURING A RACE?
============================================================================
Okay, this is a list of ICONS you can pickup while you are racing in the game...
SMALL "$" = The small "$" on the road give you some money. The money actually varies from race to race. The tougher the race, the more money the icons give you.
LARGE "$" = These give you some good money, but these are hard to find. If you see the BIG "$" icon, pick it up, it will give you 10 times the amount of a small "$" for that race. Again, the money you earn from the BIG "$" varies form race to race.
WRENCHES = These icons repair a little of the armor if you took damage. The amount of repairs done to your car varies, but not from race to race, the amount of damage repaired is chosen at random. Just like the "$" icons, there are 2 sizes of wrenches. There is a small and big wrench to pick up. Obviously the big wrench will repair a lot more than the small. (Manual says that the BIG wrench will give you 25% back, the highest I have seen was 20%.)
LIGHTNING = The Bolt of Lightning icon helps you get more nitros back to your car. There are no 2 sizes for this, there is only one type of icon for this one. (Keep in mind of course that nitros can fill up by
LOANSHARK = It only increases your money, but you have to pay it back soon
If you want to know the best buys, then that would be the SPIKES for being able to hit your opponent from the back side and does great damage, and the
SABATAGE for at least getting ONE person weak and possibly out of the way.
(For those of you who own the shareware version of this game, you can only get certain ones at certain times.
