Rally-SG Game Instructions

Loading

CoCoSDC, MOOH or DragonMMC: Copy the appropriate disk image to your device then mount that file into your default drive and type RUN"RALLYSG". Game will load and run.
RALLYSG.DSK (CoCo) or RALLYSG.VDK (Dragon)
Emulators: Select the appropriate file to load into the emulator you with to use (VCC, MAME or XROAR).
Real Floppy Disk: If you have the knowledge and equipment, you may use the DSK or VDK files to create a real floppy disk for loading on a CoCo/Dragon.
Real Cassette Media: You may create a cassette to load into a non-disk CoCo/ Dragon by recording the WAV file to a cassette.

Joystick: Insert a joystick (self centering recommended) into the RIGHT joystick port. At the title page, press the joystick button to start the game.
Collect the Flags: Collect the 10 flags before your fuel runs out to advance to the next stage. There are 9 x YELLOW flags and a 1 x ORANGE special flag to collect in each stage.
Avoid the Red Karts: In each stage, there will be 2, 4 or 6 RED karts that chase you. You start the game with 4 CYAN karts and are awarded an extra kart at 1500 points. You lose a kart when you are caught by the RED karts.
Overhead View and Radar: Pay constant attention to the overhead view on the left side of the screen AND the radar view on the right. The radar view shows the relative positions of the flags (DARK BLUE dots) and the proximity of the red karts (BLACK dots). You are represented by the large CYAN dot.

Joystick: Move the joystick to direct your kart in the direction you wish to go. Your kart always moves forward and will automatically turn when it hits a wall. Hold the joystick in a new direction in anticipation of a turn.
Joystick Button: Releases a Smoke Screen behind your kart. Red karts that run into this smoke will turn away. This can be used to your advantage for diverting the RED karts but burns your fuel more quickly so don't overuse it. If you have a 2 button joystick, both buttons will function the same.
[SHIFT]+[CLEAR]: Pauses current game in progress. Any key starts it again.
[SHIFT]+[BREAK]: Aborts current game in progress.

Yellow Flags - Scores begin at 5 and increment by 5 with each flag obtained.
Orange Special Flag - Will add 5 to each subsequent flag score until the end of the current stage or you are caught by a red kart. Try to collect these flags as soon as you can to boost all subsequent flag scores in the stage.
Fuel Bonus: At the completion of each stage, you will receive a Bonus Score based on the fuel you have left. You begin each stage with a full tank of fuel.
Challenge Stage - Levels 3, 6 and 9 are challenge stages where there are no red cars chasing you but you have a time limit to complete the stage. Scores begin at 10 and increment by 10 with each flag obtained. The ORANGE special flag adds another 5 to each of the subsequent flag scores.
