Kik Start Instructions?

[aminerva]

Sorry to occasionally ask for game docs, but I came across the game Kik-Start for the 8bit and again remembered playing it a lot on my 65xe as a kid. Same as then though, I cannot quite figure out how to go over some of the terrain without your bike falling off (or really, having your bike fall of the track).

 

I have a really hard time keeping the bike on the track, could just be that I suck at the game, but I thought perhaps the game docs would offer some insight. If you have them or know more about the game besides pushing the button to jump, up to do wheelies, and down to come down from wheelies, let me know.

 

Thanks

It's been years and years since I've played this game but I remember learning what speed to tackle each obstacle through trial and error (I think the game docs weren't all that detailed). So it may be that when riding over tyres you need to go fast, and over spikes slowly - just experiment. Failing that, try searching for the C64 equivalent. For the most part, the game mechanics should be similar, if not the same, to the Atari version.

oops. I'll not use the Back button on Internet Explorer lest this happens again.

You'd better watch it or you'll loose yuor status as a lurker. :wink:

Ah, so it's the speed that regulates going over different terrain... That ought to help quite a bit.
