GREMLIN
GREMLIN GRAPHICS PRESENTS
LOTUS ESPRIT
TURBO CHALLENGE
by Magnetic Fields
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge is a one or two player racing game that Gremlin
believe is one of the fastest, smoothest and most addictive arcade style racing
games of all time. The ultimate aim of the game is to qualify for the Lotus
License, which will only be issued to the elite band of individuals that
complete all thirty two tracks and finish top of the racers table at the end of
all that motoring. Details of how to get your Lotus License once you have
achieved this mammoth task are given later in this manual.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge on
Spectrum, Amstrad and Commodore 64
PLEASE NOTE: THE FOLLOWING ALTERATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO
CHALLENGE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE PLAYABILITY ACROSS ALL FORMATS.
CARS. On both the Spectrum and Amstrad versions, there are sixteen cars in the
main race, and you must qualify in the top eight to go forward to the next
race. In two player mode , there are ten cars, and you must qualify in the top
five five to qualify for the next race. On track hazards have also been removed
from the Amstrad and Spectrum versions.
LOADING
AMSTRAD CASSETTE
Side A: Program, Handbook. Side B: Track Data.
On side A of the cassette is the main game and the first three tracks, which
will load automatically following the main game. Once the main game has loaded,
turn the tape over and rewind to the start of side B.
SPECTRUM CASSETTE
Side A: 48K/128K version. Side B: 48K track data, Handbook Program.
128K: The whole game will load from side A.
48K: The main game and the first three tracks are on side A. Once the main game
has loaded, it will automatically load the first three tracks. Once this is
done, turn the tape over and rewind to the start.
AMSTRAD DISK
The Amstrad disk will not run on 64K machines.
CONTROLS: When the options screen is reached on both Amstrad and Spectrum,
whatever control method is implemented first will become the default for player
one. So, should player one wish to use the joystick then he should set the
options by using the joystick. Player two will now default to the keyboard.
Option two on the Spectrum will be joystick port number two. NOTE: Do not use
the cursor keys at any point during the game. Instead the following keys should
be used on Spectrum and Amstrad:
Up-Y, Down-H, Left-O, Right-P, Fire-SPACEBAR.
HANDBOOK: On all cassette versions of Lotus, there is a program called
HANDBOOK. This is an intro program presenting information about Lotus Esprit in
a series of graphic screens.
The Options
The main options are presented on the Options screen. To make a choice, simply
move the joystick up and down to highlight the option you wish to alter, and
then move your joystick left or right. The options available are as follows:
Difficulty: The choices here are Easy, Medium, Difficult and Practice. On the
easy level, there are seven races to complete, on medium there are ten and
fifteen on the difficult level. The practice option allows you to practice your
driving on a specially designed practice track.
Number of Players: One or two.
Name of Player: Type in your name on this option, after first deleting the name
that's already present on the menu.
Manual Gears/Computerised Gears: Chose computerised or manual gears. Normal
manual gears are much harder to get to grips with initially, but the
acceleration and top speed of the computerised gears are less than when using
manual gears.
Normal/Alternative controls: Two methods of joystick controls are featured in
Lotus, and this allows you to chose between the two.
We believe that the alternative method will give more enjoyment once it is
learned, but the 'normal' one is the more usual one normally found in racing
games.
Normal Joystick controls:
Accelerate
Brake
Change up a gear
Change down a gear
Alternative Joystick controls.
Alternative Joystick controls:
Accelerate
Brake
Steer Left
Steer Right
Change up a gear
Change down a gear
Mouse controls:
(Computerised gears only.)
Left Mouse button: Accelerate
Right Mouse button: Brake
Once you have completed your selection, press the fire button to leave this
screen.
Following this screen, you will be given the opportunity of choosing the tune
that will accompany your racing efforts. There are four in all, and are chosen
by moving the joystick left and right, and pressing fire when the tune you wish
to hear is highlighted.
Racing
On each level, the player be informed which position must be achieved in order
to qualify for the next race. On the two player game, if either driver
qualifies, then both racers are carried forward to the next race. The players
next starting position will be determined by his finishing position on the
previous race, which will be inverted. So, for example, if the player finishes
first, he will start the next race in twentieth place, and he finishes second
he will start the next race in nineteenth, and so on. On some of the later
tracks, the driver will come across some nasty hazards both on and off the
roads, and some of the tracks will throw up some pretty nasty surprises.
Pitstops
Some tracks are too long to complete without stopping for fuel, and so pitstops
will be required. These are always to be found just after the start/finish
line, and are indicated by the yellow spanner sign. In order to carry out a
fuel stop, pull into the pit lane and brake. You will then go to another screen
where you will see your fuel tank being filled, the amount being indicated on a
meter on the right hand side of the screen. You can leave this screen as soon
as you think you have enough fuel by hitting the fire button.
Qualifying for the Lotus License
Once you have completed Lotus Esprit turbo Challenge, you will be presented
with a special message. You must write this message in full on the enclosed
card (No photocopies will be accepted), and fill in all the other details
requested on the card. Once this is completed, return it to Gremlin Graphics,
and your license will be forwarded to you.
