Other road hazards include: Ice on the road- Water puddle on the road- Craters in the road - from bombs. 11 _____________________________________________________________________ HELPFUL HINTS 1. It is inadvisable to pass enemy agents on a straight road. Try to run them off the road, or wait until there are curves. 2. Oil is one of the most effective ways of dealing with trailing enemy agent ground vehicles. 3. When coming to the forks in the road, try to lure the enemy vehicle to the opposite road you intend to take. The rest is up to you! Good luck. 12 _____________________________________________________________________ Watch for the best arcade titles from the best new name in home entertainment software. SUNSOFT.
