Turbo Esprit - Encore inside-inlay INTRODUCTION Four smugglers' cares are meeting an armoured car carrying drugs - you must stop them and their cargo, and stop the armoured car after it has made its last drop. You score points for capturing the smugglers alive and lose points for shooting innocent motorists. Obey traffic lights, avoid road-works and watch out for pedestrian crossings.

TACTICS Using the map, go to the city centre and wait for the smugglers' cars. The supply car circles the block after the "Drugs Exchanged" message, follow the delivery car and bump it into submission - don't stop for anything! THE CARS RED Your car RED Smugglers' cars (4) BLACK Armoured car (1) WHITE (Magenta on Amstrad) Hit cars BLUE & YELLOW Ordinary motorists THE MAP Flashing circles indicate your car, and those of the smugglers. Petrol pumps indicate garages. Four dots at junctions indicate traffic lights and arrows alongside road indicate one-way streets. STREET NAMES Streets are given by map reference eg. "E.9" is the ninth street going east-west. "N.7" is the seventh street going north-south. MESSAGES These will advise you of the game status. STOPPING THE SMUGGLERS' CARS You will score more points for "bumping" the smugglers' cars than for shooting them. Bump the smuggler more than four times (but not in a queue) and he will surrender. You can't bump the armoured car. You can also stop the smugglers by chasing them into a dead end. Remember, the smugglers are aware of your position, so wait for them out of sight, using the map, until the exchange is made. HIT CARS These will shoot at you if they pass on your right. You can shoot them or bump them for extra points. FUEL, GARAGES AND NEW CARS To refuel, drive to a garage and park on the pavement alongside. Your fuel gauge will show when you have refueled. If you run out of fuel or your car is incapacitated, you will get a new car. You can repair your car by stopping at a garage. (C) 1985 ELITE SYSTEMS LTD. All rights reserved worldwide.
