Midnight Outlaw: Illegal Street Drag Nitro Edition

Unofficial Strategy Guide and FAQ

by Kasey Chang

released September 18, 2004


0 Introduction

This section is for "what the FAQ is about" and things like that.
Feel free to skip this section.

If you like the FAQ, please send me a dollar. :-) See [0.3]

This FAQ is about "Midnight Outlaw: Illegal Street Drag, Nitro
Edition", the drag racer from Canopy Games, published by
Valusoft. The information should also be good for the regular
edition for the most part.


0.1 A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR

There doesn't seem to be any FAQ for this budget game, so here it
comes.

This is a FAQ, NOT a manual, not that you really need a manual to
play this game.

This USG only covers the PC Version, which is the only one that
exists.

This USG should also cover the original "non-nitro" edition.

Some of you may recognize my name as the editor for the XCOM and
XCOM2: TFTD FAQ's, among others.

that is not covered in the USG, e-mail it to me at the address
specified below. I'll try to answer it and include it in the next
update.

Please do NOT write me for technical support. That is
Activision's job.

Please do NOT ask me to answer questions that have already
answered in this FAQ/guide. It makes you look REALLY idiotic.

I will NOT answer stupid questions like the ones above unless I'm
in a really good mood. If you send questions like that, do NOT

use spambots on it:

Kilo-Sierra-Charlie-Hotel-Alpha-November-Golf-Seven-Seven AT
Yankee-Alpha-Hotel-Oscar-Oscar DOT Charlie-Oscar-Mike

To decipher this, simply read the first letter off each word
except for the numbers and the punctuation. This is "military
phonetics" or "aeronautical phonetics" in case you're wondering.

done with Editpad (editpadclassic.com).


0.5 THE AUTHOR

I am just a game player who decided to write my own FAQs when the
ones I find don't cover what I want to see. Lots of people like
what I did, so I kept doing it.

XCOM, XCOM2:TFTD, Wing Commander, Wing Commander 2, Wing
Commander 3, Wing Commander 4, Privateer, Spycraft, 688(I)
Hunter/Killer. Mechwarrior 3, MW3 Expansion Pack, Mechwarrior 4,
Mechwarrior 4: Black Knight, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed,
The Sting!, Terranova, Fallout Tactics, Starfleet Command Volume
II, DS9: The Fallen, DS9: Dominion War, Driver, Warlords:
Battlecry, Monopoly Tycoon, Dungeon Siege, and a few others. At
least count, that's 55 FAQs (this makes it 56).

To contact me, see 0.4 above.

1 MOISDNE General Info


1.1 THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can you send me the game (or portions thereof)?
A: No. I found it for a mere $2.00 in OfficeMax, I'm sure you can
dig up $2 somewhere.

Q: Can you send me the manual? (or portions thereof)

A: You don't need it. The controls are all listed in the game and
configurable Not that there are that many controls any way. The
manual is also on the CD!

Q: Can you tell me how to play the game?
A: Read the manual please.

Q: How big is the install?
A: About 97 MB.

Q: Is there a patch?
A: No.

Q: Where is the pause button?
A: P, or hit ESC to pop up the in-game menu.

Q: What about some cheat codes?
A: see the end of this FAQ

Q: What game modes are there?
A: Quick race (race against AI in equivalent car), career mode,
multiplayer (race other player in equivalent car), Outlaw
challenge (race other player with any car you got)

Q: What determines which class I am in?
A: Your respect does. Class D is 0 to 29 respect. Class C is 30
to 59 respect. Class B is 60 to 89 respect. Class A is 90 or
higher respect.

Q: I raced and won X dollars. However, in my "greens" I gained
LESS than X dollars. Why?
A: Every race also incurs a "maintenance" charge, depending on
the parts you have. A fully-decked out class A car can cost $72
or more per race, no matter you win or lose. It's the cost of
nitro, gas, and other wear-and-tear items plus labor.


1.2 MOISDNE HISTORY

Midnight Outlaw: Illegal Street Drag started as an attempt to
cash in on the "Fast and Furious" phenomenon, where you got fast
mod cars with serious music and some dandy racing. When combined
with a bit of a career mode, you get a game that is more than
your typical budget title.

Nitro Edition added four new cars.
