the red button until desired speed is reached. When you release the button,
this speed will be maintained. To slow down, release the red button and
apply the brakes by pulling the Joystick back.
8. Passing cars. The number of cars you must pass is posted at the beginning
of each day in the lower right comer of your instrument panel (200 the first
day, 300 on subsequent days). Each time you pass a car, this meter counts
off by one. When you pass the required number of cars, green flags
appear. But keep going. All additional miles are added to your total. You'll
move on to the next day when the present day ends. If you don’t pass the
required number of cars by daybreak, the game ends.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF ENDURO™
Time of day. From dawn till the black of night, you'll be on the road, Pay
attention to the lighting and scenery. It represents the time of day, letting you
know how much time is remaining. And, use caution at night. You can only see
the tail lights of the other cars.
Weather conditions keep changing, so brace yourself. Can you hang in
through ice and fog? A white, icy road means your car will be less responsive
to your steering. A thick, fog-shrouded screen gives you less time to react,
since it will take you longer to see the cars up ahead.
Days and miles. A realistic odometer registers the miles you've
covered. Beneath the odometer Is the day indicator, which keeps
track of the number of days you've been on the Enduro clrcult.
When the race Is over, the mileage on the odometer and the day
on the Indicator represent your racing results or score.
Increasing difficulty. The race gets tougher with each new day. The
other cars travel faster and spread out across the road more and more,
making It harder to pass them.
GETTING THE FEEL OF ENDURO RACING
In preparing for a race, every pro driver checks out the course. Be sure to do
the same thing. Get to know the timing of the weather and lighting conditions.
Learn how your car responds to your touch.
Slow down on the ice and keep your eyes on the patterns of cars in the
distance. Drive defensively, since the other cars will not get out of your way.
The fog will really test your reflexes. You'll need to slow down and develop a
tapid steering response to make up for the limited visibility.

HOW TO BECOME A “ROADBUSTER”
Tips from Larry Miller, designer of Enduro™
Lary Miller is a powerhouse game designer with a PhD in physics. When he
isn’t designing games, he may be sailing, skiing or playing the piano, His most
recent hit was Spider Fighter™.
“The best way to outlast other drivers is to pace yourself. You won't survive long
if you stay at maximum speed because you'll keep hitting other cars. Go only
as fast as it takes to pass the required number of cars each day.
“If you can choose between steering into the side of the road or hitting another
car, always steer into the roadside. It’s just a minor setack and you won't lose
as much time.
“Also, it's always better to go around diagonally paired cars than to squeeze
between them. But, if you must squeeze between them, keep your speed just
above theirs and be carefull!
“Here’s another tip: If you approach a group of cars that are really blocking
the road—slow down. Let them disappear back into the distance ahead of
you. Then, accelerate. When you meet up with these cars again, they will
probably have changed their positions.
“| hope you enjoy the National Enduro as much as | enjoyed designing it. Drop
me a card from your next pit stop—I’d love to hear from you. And please,
remember to fasten your seatbelts.”
