***1) Driving, ect.***
If you try to drive and it seems like your car just spins around in circles..
just remember this, DO NOT HOLD DOWN THE KEYS!  and also, only press one key
down at a time.  that way, stearing will seem a lot easier.
Here are the keys just in case your too dumb to figure them out.
Right arrow--> turns right
Left arrow--> turns left
Up arrow--> speed up
Down arrow--> slow down
Space bar--> jams on a nitro.(if you have any)
escape--> forfit the race.(if you get frustrated because you suck so bad)
the p key--> absolutly nothing. there is no pause so eat my shorts.  I mean,
think about it.. games that have a pause button suck!(not that I havn't put
them in the other Apoky! games but..) What if you were playing along, you
went to race Billy.. You start the race and about half way through he presses
pause on YOU!  I don't think you would want to wait 5 minutes while he gets up
and goes to the bathroom, or 10 minutes while he answers the phone.  And
besides, this game is super realistic(with all the 3D graphics and stuff),
and in real life you can not PAUSE!  Get out of my house.

***2) Whats all that garbage at the bottom?***
When you start racing, you'll see a bunch of stuff at the bottom.  You may see
five little circles.  They indicate how many nitros you have.  The number in
the bottom, left corner shows how many seconds have gone by.  It might not
work on other computers but my own but oh well.  There isn't really much point
to it either.  The white bar at the very bottom is your damage meter.  If it
runs out, your car blows up.  It cost money to repair your car.  The other
things are pretty self explanitory.  How fast you are going and stuff.

***3) What files should I have?***
You need a couple of files to run this game.  They should be included in the
.zip file.  Make sure they are all in the same directory.
BA.EXE this file runs the game.. actually, it is the game.
BA.TXT the file you are reading.
GUYS.BMP the picture with the different guys.
WIN.BMP if you beat snider, this picture loads up.
CARS.BMP the picture where all the cars are in. (you can try to edit this one
for cool effects! And if you ever draw cool looking cars, send them too me at
the email adress below!)
RACE.SAV the save game, if you edit this it could screw up your saved game,
but if you know what you are doing it's a good cheater thing.
SPEED.YAH this is the thing that is saved when you run the setit.exe program,
you can edit this too if you want to change it without running the setit
thing again.
SETIT.EXE this is the computer speed setup program.  run this before you run
the game.

***5) Problems***
If there are any problems when trying to run the game.. I have no idea how to
fix them.  Just make sure all the files are in the same directory when you
unzip the game.
If the game seems to be going to fast or too slow though, run SETIT.EXE again.
If there are any bugs in the game, email me at the adress below.

***6) Cheats***
If you can't beat the game without the cheats, or you feel this game is too
crappy to try, look at these cheats below.
Type all the cheats at the main menu.  Make sure you use all lower case
letters(make sure caps lock is OFF)

goeat = Gives you lots of money!
dog = Gives you unlimited Nitros!
food = Lets you purchase the SUPER GAS.  Note: for this cheat to work, you
                                         have to have at least $50,000 and you
                                         have to own the mother beast(which is
                                         the best car you can buy)
you = full fixup job, for free.
scum = purple.. this can be real annoying, so don't use it.  It can't be
undone unless you restart the game either!

Guess what, there isn't any cheats to beat the game!  the cheats listed above
may help, but they won't make you beat Snider for sure.  I mean, I havn't
even beat him yet, and I made the game!

***7) Where's Wald-Man?***

Find Wald-Man in the park. (he is a stick man with big eyes!)

***9) Some other stuff***
When you play this it is at your own risk, if your computer crashes, blows up,
or grows arms and chokes you to death, its not my responsibility.
If you want to add this game to your web page or anything, make sure you email
me at the email address given above.
If you are black, white, jamaican, have two thumbs, don't wash, listen to
country music, a midget, have rabies, drive a volvo, a vegitarian, enjoy
eating gingerbread cookies, sing in the shower, play the trombone, always the
last person in line, believe in aliens, a bar bouncer, have red hair, put on
too much make-up, male or female, then you should share this game with your
friends because its freeware.  If you don't, I won't come to anymore of your
birthday partys!  You'll be all alone.
