Notes from StingRay, 25-Feb-2021:

Finally I got around to updating the patch for the enhanced version too.
It now features the same features as the standard version. It does
not require AGA, it works on all 2 MB chip memory Amigas.
I have also coded a new imager for the game, you will have to reinstall
the game as the file names are not compatible with the previous versions.
The route selection screen can now be controlled with keyboard too, this
was mainly done to save time during development as I didn't like having
to use the joystick to select the route when everything else could be
controlled with the keyboard. To select the route use cursor keys and space.
The joystick control will still work too of course.
The in-game keys can now be displayed during the race by pressing "Help" and
I have also added a "No Police" trainer option, if this is enabled, the Police
will not do anything.


Notes from StingRay, 06-Feb-2021:

The AGA version of the game crashed once the UK levels were completed, this
was caused by a wrong protection check patch. I have fixed this so the
game should work until the end. No other changes for now, I may rework
the old patch for the AGA version completely one day and add the trainers
of the OCS version and other stuff.



Notes from StingRay, 17-Jul-2015:

I have completely redone the patch for the OCS version! The old patch crashed
on 68000 machines which was reported 2 days ago on the Mantis tracker.
So I had a look and noticed a few other problems, mainly a lot of writes
to INTREQR weren't fixed, credits scroller was only displayed for a very
short moment as it originally was shown while the game loaded its data
from disk, some replayers had the usual DMA wait bugs etc. pp.
I have fixed all these problems and also added a few trainer options, if
you enable in-game keys, you can use the following keys:

R - repair car, fix damage
D - toggle "no damage" option
N - skip level

The level skipper took me quite a while to implement properly, not too
easy to do! To select the starting level you can use the CUSTOM2 tooltype.

Please note that high score saving will be disabled if any trainer options
are used!

Enjoy the game from HD.
