Welcome to Project 64!
http://project64.c64.org

The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents
in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the
rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8-
bit computers on the part of the general population. If you would like
to help by converting C64 related hardcopy documents to electronic
texts please contact the manager of Project 64.

Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original
document.  However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program
listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due
to the limitations of plain vanilla text.  Diagrams may have been
eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible.  Program listings may be
missing display codes where substitutions were not possible.  Tables
of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number
references to section number references. Please accept our apologies
for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions.

Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The
first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original
document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After
that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the
document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension.

The author(s) of the original document and members of Project 64 make
no representations about the accuracy or suitability of this material
for any purpose.  This etext is provided "as-is".  Please refer to the
warrantee of the original document, if any, that may included in this
etext.  No other warrantees, express or implied, are made to you as to
the etext or any medium it may be on.  Neither the author(s) nor the
members of Project 64 will assume liability for damages either from
the direct or indirect use of this etext or from the distribution of

 ROUTE INFORMATION
 -----------------
 
 New York
 A fairly easy trip through this stage to prepare you for the many
 hazards you face in future stages and a chance to get used to the
 Turbo.
 
 
 Washington D.C.
 Travel through a storm avoiding a police car and various other cars
 you may encounter.  Watch out for the trees.
 
 
 Pittsburgh
 Snow Storms hinder your path on this stage which makes it very tricky
 to see the corners as you approach them.  Turbo away from the Police
 Car but use your gears and brakes until you know the route.  Low gears
 help on tight angled corners.
 
 
 Indianapolis
 A nice stage to deftly test your use of the Turbo.
 
 
 STAGE POST 1
 ------------
 A chance to customise your car.  High grip tyres are recommended.
 
 
 Chicago
 Your first chance to drive at night.  Watch out for road bumps and
 sharp corners.
 
 
 St. Louis
 Once again a police car is in pursuit.  Barrels split the road at some
 points and although your score multiplies these obstacles reduce your
 chances of completing the stage.
 
 
 Memphis
 A tricky route which takes practice especially through the valleys of
 rocks.
 
 
 Atlanta
 Sand drifts dog your route so stay as central as you can.
 
 
 STAGE POST 2
 ------------
 2 options remain.  Be careful which you choose.
 
 
 Miami
 Turbo recommended for this extremely fast level.
 
 
 New Orleans
 Watch out for the S-bends.  Use gears and brakes carefully.
 
 
 San Antonio
 The track splits into two.  Be careful which side you choose.
 
 
 Dallas
 A rough ground desert terrain looks deceivingly easy to negotiate. 
 Beware unmarked corners.
 
 
 STAGE POST 3
 ------------
 Only one remaining option to take.  Did you take the correct option at
 the last stage post?
 
 
 Oklahoma City
 Encounter bridges and fields.  Lightning reflexes required for sharp
 corners.
 
 
 Denver
 The most difficult stage of the whole route, very little signposting
 and blizzards slow your path.
 
 
 Grand Canyon
 A reasonably simple stage ready for your home run, but narrow roads
 make it tricky.
 
 
 Los Angeles
 The final stage eases you to the finish.
 
 
 Are you ready to play once again, TURBO OUT RUN?
