1. Introduction

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1 Minimum System Requirements

P200 Processor

32 MB RAM

4 MB 3D Accelerator Card

4X CD-ROM drive

Direct X compatible Sound Card

DirectX 6.0 or higher

102 MB hard disk space

It's possible that the game will run on a lower spec machine

than this, but the game may perform erratically, so we don't

recommend it.

1.2 Recommended System Requirements

P2 266 or higher

64 Meg RAM or higher

Second Generation 3D Accelerator Card

DirectX 6.0 or higher

102 MB of free hard disk space (DX compatible)

16 bit sound card or better

Direct Play compatible Joypad

1.3 Installation

When you insert the Re-Volt CD the installation process will

begin automatically if you have not yet installed the game.

The default installation directory is

C:\Program Files\Acclaim Entertainment\Revolt

You can change this during the installation, but make sure you

remember where you installed the game, as this information will

be needed when uploading your best times to re-volt.com

(see 3.2 below).

1.4 Getting the Game Running

Go to the Start menu, select

Programs/Acclaim Entertainment/Re-Volt

(if you have used the default path)

The game will now be started. Navigating around the menus is

simply a case of using the cursor keys to move around the

selections and ENTER to choose them.

1.5 Background Story

For years Toy-Volt had been producing games and toys for children

all over the world. Within months of introducing their first

products they shot to the top of their trade. No-one could put

their finger on exactly what it was that made the toys

so popular. Sure, they employed the best craftsmen and designers

in the world, but there was something else about them,

something almost magic.

With their latest product it appears they have used a little too

much of that special ‘something’, for the radio controlled cars

that were about to hit the production line have gained minds of

their own. Escaping from the shelves that held them prisoners they

have entered the real world, and are now creating chaos as

they enjoy their new found freedom...the Toy-Volt R/C cars

have Re-Volted!

Re-Volt is all about fast paced arcade racing, utilizing the

most realistic handling and some of the most intelligent opponents

ever.

Not only that, but all this action-packed, state of the art

racing takes place over some of the most unusual courses ever

seen in a racing game. Motoring round museums, speeding through

supermarkets and tearing round toy shops are all possible

in the world of Re-Volt.

2. Game Set-Up

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1 Game Settings

To change these options, from the title screen select OPTIONS, then

GAME Settings.

2.1.1 Number of Cars

This option allows you to select the number of cars in a race,

from 1 - 12. The default number is 8.

2.1.2 Number of Laps

Allows you to select number of laps, from 1 - 20. The default

is 3. (You may experiance problems if more than 10 laps are chosen for Multiplayer)

2.1.3 Pick Ups

This option lets you choose whether weapons are ON or OFF in the

game. The default is ON. (see 4.Weapons below)

2.1.4 Split Time Settings

If you've downloaded someone else's split time from Re-Volt.com

(see 3.2 below) you can choose to race against it in Time Trial

mode from this menu option. Two selections are available to you,

"Local" or "Download". By default this is on "Local",

meaning you race against your own best Split Time. By changing this

to "Download" you can race against the alternate, downloaded

Split Time.
