NITRO
Here's your chance to try the latest blockbusting
game on the Psyclapse label before anyone else!
Don your crash helmet and your fireproof suit then prepare to burn some rubber
with the hottest car racing action seen since... the last car racing game.
Nitro is the latest game to come from that talented bunch of Liverpudlian
programming programming prowess, Psygnosis.
At first sight, Nitro looks similar to Super Sprint, but a closer
examination reveals a host of extra features that give the game extra
player-appeal. For instance, the night driving level is very tough as all you
can see is the small area of road lit up by your headlights immediately in
front of you.
Play continues until you run out off gas (that's petrol in English!). There
are many items to collect during game so keep a sharp look out as your speeding
along the roads. Just run the object over to collect it:
Gas Barrel = +100 gas
Money = +1 money
Nitro Booost = short boost of speed
Bright Bulb = double headlight
Dark Bulb = other cars lights go out
Sun = screen lights up
You can also spend any money you have in the parts shop...

Hi Speed (10 levels)
Accelerate (10 levels)
Traction (10 levels)

Nitro Booost
The screen can scroll in four directions - up, down, left or right - but
you should always make progress up the screen. Unusually, up to three players
can take part at the same time with two drivers using the two joysticks and one
sitting at the keyboard. Joystick control is straightforward, so here are the
keys for player three:
Left z
Right x
Accelerate right-Shift
Nitro Booost (if fitted) ?
To start the game first press the accellerator (joystick fire or
right-Shift) then move left and right to see the cars. Press the accellerator
to select the car.
