[. . . ] The more opponents you waste, the more pedestrian meat will be left over for you. Race Summary Screen When you finish the current race, the summary screen is displayed. Objectives Reviewed Shown here is what you achieved in objective terms from the race. It lists your credits earned, your credits lost, your total credits, your rank increase (if any) and your current rank. Damage Gallery The next screen shows you what you achieved in subjective terms by displaying the other cars so that you can gloat at the damage you caused them. Use the mouse or keyboard to select a wreck and hit return (or click) to zoom in to it. You can then use the mouse to rotate the 3D model of the vehicle and take a really good look at what you did. Hit done when you've finished, and it's back to the Start Race screen, ready for another bout of rivets and whiplash. 18 During the Game Getting to the Main Menu At almost any time in the game you can hit Esc to get to the main menu. It is slightly different from the original main menu in that it has additional options. Continue Dismisses the menu as if you had never selected it. This can also be achieved by hitting Esc while in the main menu. Recover Car and Continue If your car has become stuck (i. e. lying on its roof at the bottom of a ravine) then this will recover it so you can continue with the race. Of course you could always just abort the current race instead which wouldn't cost you anything but just think of the money-making opportunities you might miss. Abort Race Aborts the current race, and returns to the Start Race screen ready for the next race. Note that you can do this at any time during the race by hitting Control-A. This option cannot be canceled, so you'd better be sure you really want to take it before hitting those keys. DURING THE GAME 19 Options Brings up the options menu which has the following three sub-options: Sound options See page 11 Detail options Not available during race Controls options See page 12 Load Game See page 12 Save Game See page 12 Abort Game Aborts the game (not the race) and returns to the original main menu, ready for starting a new game or loading a saved one. Quit Carmageddon Quits the game. Note that you can do this at any time (even during pre-rendered cut scenes) using Control-Q. 20 Action Replay At any time during the race you can hit the Enter key to enter action replay mode. (The Enter key is on the numeric keypad. ) You can then play back a `tape' of events during the race and watch your antics again. When the space for the action replay information fills up, the oldest stuff starts getting recorded over (just like all those shows you record and then never watch. ) Use the mouse to operate the `tape deck' controls (they are just like a VCR's with rewind, fast forward etc. ), or use the keyboard as described in the `Default controls' section. Rewind to Start Fast Rewind Play Backwards Pause Play Forwards Fast Fast Forward Forwards to the End Change Camera View ACTION REPLAY 21 Camera Views Changing the camera view gives you three alternative views: Panning camera (default) A glorious collection of panning overhead views of the action. It lets you see loads of stuff that you missed originally as your camera tracked your car. Use the left and right arrows to zoom the camera in and out. Action tracking camera Similar to the panning camera except that it additionally switches to the best view for watching a good car wreck or a spot of pedestrian bashing just before the event is going to happen. Sit back and enjoy. Standard camera The view through your windshield. Remember that you can still use the arrow keys when in action replay mode to move the camera around, and hence see things from a different angle to the original one. But read on and find out what else there is to enjoy. 22 Network Play If you're lucky enough to have some friends, why not challenge up to 5 of them on one of the 7 different network games?Believe us, by the time you've finished, they won't be your friends. This option can be selected from the Main Menu. New Network Game The first screen you are ushered to gives you the option to host or join a network game. Please note that only if you have the Carmageddon CD in your drive can you host a game (but your soon-not-to-be friends can play a network game by installing from your CD first of all).
