SUPER CYCLE
===========

You're sitting on 750 cc's of screaming machine, chrome and pistons ready for the course. It's you and your 
cycle against the road, the curves, the other motorcycles and the clock. Hot rubber on hot streets as you 
scream to victory.

Racing was never so fast and furious.

It takes split second timing. You must know when to cut, when to speed up, when to brake. Hesitate, and 
there's no way you'll win. Act rashly, and you crash.

You race through progressively harder courses. Finish successfully, and you get to try the next one. But 
don't push your machine too far. Keep your eye on the instruments. Push it to the limit, and you win. Push 
it over, and you crash.

- Race against Other Motorcycles through Countryside that Changes from Course to Course.
- Watch Realistic Instruments — Tachometer, Speedometer.
- Lean into the Turns, Scream Out into the Lead.

INTRODUCTION

Open road racing — wheel to wheel — pistons screaming and rubber burning. That's the challenge of SUPER CYCLE. 
Before you begin, choose your machine and your leathers. Choose carefully, there's an ordeal ahead.

You and your machine will be pushed to the max by the course, the other competitors, and the relentless clock.

You must complete each of the race courses within a time limit, in order to continue. Crash and you lose 
valuable seconds. Each of the more than seven courses poses unique challenges — water on the road, ice, road 
barricades and other dangerous obstacles. When you see a road sign that means slippery when wet, you better 
listen. There's day and night courses, city and country, hills and mountains, desert courses and streaking 
through the sunlight next to Cape Canaveral.

Accelerate up through the gears, jockey for position and bump the other riders. Go for top speed, but try not 
to go out of control.

Good luck. Your reflexes better be as sharp as the turns up ahead.


OBJECTIVE

You must complete each race course within the specified time, in order to go on to the next course. Watch out 
for the other riders — you can bump them and they can bump you. Steer through the pack, and avoid road obstacles 
— crashing eats up valuable time. Complete all the courses at one of the difficulty levels and you get 
a checkered flag next to your name on the racing scoreboard.

back, simply press the fire button to gear down. The three lights in the centre of the dash indicate what gear 
you're in. The top light is the highest gear. The bottom light is the lowest gear. The light is coloured green

RACING

Each course has a set time limit. The bottom of your dash shows your elapsed time, and your total points. The 
more distance you cover, the more points you accumulate.

Watch out for road conditions and unusual obstacles. You never know what you're going to find out there. Lamp 
posts, oil slicks, even road pylons that narrow the course to a single lane. Watch for special bonus flags — hit 
those for extra points and time.

Time it just right, cut and accelerate with split second precision, and you could end up on top. On top of the 
racing scoreboard!
