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.
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.
2.1 Game Settings
To change these options, from the title screen select OPTIONS, then
GAME Settings.
This option allows you to select the number of cars in a race,
from 1 - 12. The default number is 8.
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)
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.
2.2 Video Options
VIDEO OPTIONS.
With the LEFT and RIGHT cursor keys you can cycle through all the
video cards you have installed in your machine. Any 3D accelerator

enter a race or exit and re-enter the front end.
This allows you to cycle through all the video resolutions your
graphics cards supports. Any changes you make to this option will
