3.3 PECULIAR
-------------
- The 4th time trial / head to head course in the demo (Plate hop) is not accessible in the time trial or head to head mode in the full game.
- The shortest track (relative to speed) in mm2 is Rim runners, the toilet seat course. The longest one is probably either Jelly jitters or toaster trouble.
- It's very easy to edit the game's graphics as they are all pcx files.
- Fun but difficult: race two cars at the same time! One with each hand...
See how far you get.
- Mm2 Promo line:
" Bigger, Better, Faster and Meaner: This is Micro Machines 2. Take charge of 17 different turbo-charged air land and sea vehicles in the most competitive all-action racer ever seen. Speed onto the multi-player race circuits in and around the Micro Machines house where up to four players can simultaneously compete on over 50 hazard-packed tracks."

4.0 TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ
------------------------
Q : The game runs slow and/or crashes.
A : Mm2 cannot run in a windows dos box (except for Windows 95 in some cases). You have to start up in dos-mode. Also, expanded memory managers like emm386.exe interfere with the game. You will have to turn them off in config.sys by removing the line or putting "rem" at the beginning of the line.
Q : When I play with others on the same keyboard, the keys get unresponsive when too many keys are pressed at the same time.
A : This is due to restrictions of many modern keyboards. Use an old keyboard or switch one or more players to joystick(s). You can also try to remap the keys temporarily with the appropriate software.
Q : My joystick/joypad doesn't function well.
A : Calibrate it in the extra options menu.
Q : In 3 or 4 player mode, the cars accelerate by themselves.
A : When you play with 3 players on one keyboard the acceleration is automatic to reduce the amount of keys pressed. You handle the brake with the accelerate key.
Q : I have sound or memory problems.
A : Read the readme from the game.
4.1 KNOWN BUGS
---------------
Tournament bug: When you choose the tournaments mode from one of the multiplayer menus and before selecting a tournament type return to the main menu, you will not be able to choose the gametype next time you choose a multiplayer menu, but go directly to the tournament selection menu. You can escape this by choosing a tournament type and then return to the main menu.
Spawn bug: In some very rare cases the computer can not find the place to respawn the vehicles in head to head and will keep looking for it until the game is aborted.
4.2 WHERE TO GET MM2
---------------------
If you want to get a legal copy mm2 you will have search really good since it isn't sold anymore for quite a while. Codemasters doesn't support it on their site either. I also tried to find the demo on the internet; it was truly hard. I found it on Fileplanet, but I expect it will just disappear from the regular download sites soon.
Mm2 is probably considered 'abandonware' now and can be downloaded from so- called 'abandonware sites'. Note that downloading abandonware technically is not legal as long as it isn't released as free software by the copyright holder. I won't recommend you to download abandonware but since you may not be able to find mm2 anywhere else, there might be no other way.
