Don't let the map choose your route for you, select your destinations with ther joystick (incuding diagonals).

+therealbountybob Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hit the US Tour this morning, was fun with my pencil map and pad recording all the distances etc... Probably not the best route but didn't overlap apart from on a couple of the junction bits, had first experiences of the steering test and other weather conditions 93:46 11,267 miles THE WHEEL BOUNTY BOB (therealbountybob was last time we played in season 9!) Should have added *no* using the pause key to check fuel, it's all part of the game to glance down and then panic as you run into someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field 8 had a bunch of scores for all races but U.S. Tour (easily the most for LA to NY, which is what I remembered) I tried to back this up to my PC using "Drive copy" but when I try to load the file into Altirra it freezes, which makes me think it didn't copy properly. If anyone has advice on how to back this up let me know, as I'd love to 'switch' over to this copy to start using it through FujiNet (although I suppose I could just bite the bullet and use my 1050 ) EDIT: I've tried MyCopyR and CopyMate 4.4 and nothing has worked. There are simply a chunk of sectors that can't be read. I don't want to hijack this thread so if you have suggestions or questions please PM me. @8BIT 1337 Had a thought - maybe you can copy the disk to an ATR ignoring bad sectors then mount it after loading and see if it functions as a scores disk (it won't boot but that doesn't matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) US Tour: 100:53 (11371 miles) While 70 minutes of M.U.L.E. is relaxing, 70 minutes of GACCRR which obviously is a little more action oriented, but not incredibly frantic, felt like an endurance test. I know that the game origins from Enduro on the 2600, and this longer run sure made up for that name. I might shave off a few miles on the route, be better at finding gas stations in the middle of the night and avoid smashing into the police from behind, but for now being I'm happy I finished the race, even if it is at a very slow time.

+Cafeman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This game is fantastic. I played it on an emulator once years ago, but never really understood it. Back then it annoyed me because I just wanted to race like in Enduro, not get gas or slow down for cops. But today I welcomed the complexity more. LA to NY - 23:38. How fast can you go without a ticket when radar alert is triggered? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Ok, so I made one more attempt on the US Tour, taking a different route which turned out to be 9 miles longer but I finished more than four minutes faster, much due to avoiding the New York - Charlotte stretch. There still is room for improvement such as leaving the cops alone and not missing three gas stations in a row when I'm pumping from behind. US Tour: 96:32 (11380 miles) @Cafeman: I believe somewhere just above 62 mph is acceptable for the cops. First when I played, I got ticketed for speeding around 68-70 mph so the margin must be just below that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just floor it and go top speed past the cop in the middle of the road, and then hit the brake after you past them so you dont drive in to the other cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but on some stages the radar warning turns on almost immediately so there is almost no chance to reach 240 mph before you reach the cop. In that case it probably is better to coast around 60-65 mph. It is a calculation of how many seconds of penalty you get for speeding vs the time you lose by driving slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While managing the fuel adds challenge it also slows the pace. I wish there was an option to not manage the fuel; that would have made this game better. Enduro is simpler but everything it do so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
