THE STORY:
This time you're at the wheel of the fabulous Ferrari F40 and in a
face against time in a bid to smash a stolen car racket- the only
problem is the guys involved in the racket are corrupt policemen!
As you go tearing through four states of America in search of the
corrupt police, you will also have problems with the honest road
cops who don't appreciate the sight of a Ferrari F40 crossing
their state at 200 miles per hour........
But, it ain't that easy..........
You must plan your route carefully from the maps of each state
which are displayed on screen and which show the actual American
freeways that you will travel on - Be careful, the shortest routes
aren't always the easiest as the sight and sound of a blue
flashing light will soon make you realise.
Your Ferrari is furnished with the latest radar which will enable
you to detect police road blocks which may have been set up to
catch you, therefore keep an eye on the Freeway junctions you may
be forced to change your route!
YOUR MISSION:
At the beginning of the game, your starting position and the
location you have to reach will be shown on the map. You will
have to consult the map repeatedly in order to know the direction
you are supposed to take.
At each crossroad, your on board computer will indicate the
direction and number of the road you can take.
The game represents the actual roads of the 4 states of the USA in
which you can travel.
If you notice a road which would connect with one you're on, you
can cut across fields, but watch out for telegraph poles and
milestones!
as soon as you start your engine, the countdown will start.
If it reaches zero, your Ferrari will explode!

Your bonus counter is to the right of that
Your timer/direction indicator;tells you which direction to take
when the road splits, and the road number(on the map) this is on
the bottom of the right hand box
The small box above and all the way to the right indicates the
distance to the closest radar(or police car)
The box to the left of that indicates the location of radar(or
police car)
The box to the left of that indicates the working condition of
the radar detector.
The box to the left of that indicates the direction the radar or

SCORE AND BONUS
Your score will increase with the distance covered. At the end of
each stage, a bonus will be added to your score.
At the beginning of the 1st chase, your bonus counter will be set
to 20000 points (40000 at the 2nd chase, 60000 at the 3rd one...)
Each chase bonus the time allowed corresponds to the ideal route
as estimated by your on board computer. The counter goes down

in breaking through a police cordon, 10000 points are added to
your bonus. Your bonus will be earned if you arrive at your
destination before the timer reaches zero.
