INSTRUCTIONS



The Game:

Badlands puts you in the hot seat of a mega-fast sprint racing car.

Speed round eight death-defying tracks in a race of danger and

destruction where failure spells death and success the chance to race

another day.

Badlands is a game for one, or two players simultaneously.



Getting Started:

It's now 50 years since the nuclear disaster and the sport of sprint

racing has evolved into a ruthless battle between armed cars. Race

tracks have been built on dangerous ruins, the aftermath of the holo-

caust, in the zone known as the BADLANDS.

Your objective is to race round the eight different tracks as fast as

possible, collecting wrenches (spanners) along the way in order to

continue to the next round. Failing to finish first means disqualif-

ication. Missiles can be found hidden around the tracks behind

destructible scenery - in the Badlands even mountains will crumble if

shot at.

Between the tracks, and assuming you have collected enough wrenches,

you can customise your car with extra acceleration, shields and

weapons. Bonus wrenches are awarded for finishing first and beating

the fastest lap time.

BADLANDS features simultaneous two-player action, and a buy-in feature

means that a friend can join in at any time. Each player is awarded

two continue credits at the start - finish behind any of the drone

cars and you will have to use a credit to continue.

BADLANDS has eight unique track layouts, each set in different

animated backgrounds that react to player shots and crashes. These

tracks shift and change as the level of difficulty increases.



Controls:

In Badlands you have a choice of two control methods (IBM PC, Amiga,

Atari ST and Commodore 64 versions only)



JOYSTICK CONTROL A JOYSTICK CONTROL B

With JOYSTICK CONTROL A your car will slow down as soon as the FIRE

button is released.

With JOYSTICK CONTROL B you car will continue to travel at the speed

you have accelerated to, hence the need for a brake.
