I love this game! Nice vector gfx, easy to play, speeeed!
I had this game (and Wroom also) on AMIGA

[zenit12]

[Keys]

Select Course in "Championship" or "Training" = ALT !!!
not Enter!!!

NumPad
8 = gas
2 = brake
4 = left
6 = right
0 = shift (up/down)
P = pause
Esc = quit


Laptop without numpad:
I = gas
K = brake
J = left
L = right
Shift = should be Ins (insert). check your laptop secondary keys/numpad settings

Select Automatic transmission if you're a beginner!
The final level of arcade is inverted colors!


Sound & Music should be working. Although the appeal of this game is the gameplay (sense of speed) as well as the graphics, not the annoying engine noises.

[THE FMS IS COMING]

for some reason when i downloaded this game and tryed to extract the game i got an error message saying that there is noting in the folder to extract

any help please???

Either you tried to extract the game before it was downloaded fully or are doing something else wrong.

Best bet is to try and download the game again then try to extract it again when it is done.

And if it doesn't work then, you could try another archiving program. WinRAR should work.

On my small (but not laptop) usb keyboard without numpad the shift button is Shift! Adding maps in Training or Championship mode is still "ALT" but you must add at least two maps before pressing enter or it will return to title screen. Championship mode allows one to forfeit qualifying laps or races and skip to the next event by pressing ESC while pressing that in Training mode just abandons practice completely.

France or Portugal are recommended maps for training beginners other than the first stage (Brazil). Stay away from manual transmission and turbo mode until you have mastered cornering, braking and dealing with opponents (which appear in the side-view mirrors when over taking you). Turbo mode reaches higher speeds (and higher frame rates) and requires letting go of gas even on medium bends if you are maxed out in 6th gear. Have fun wearing out your tires so you can visit the pit stops.



If you are a fan..

Listen to how the game was supposed to sound: http://youtu.be/8OcmVcC5jFA?t=1m16s It's not the terrible pc-speaker whine you hear using modern hardware in dosbox.

And look up the predecessor "Vroom" released for the Atari ST and Amiga in 1991, as well as the non-DOS ports of "F1" or this game, the 1994/95 sequel known as "F1 Championship Edition".
