Hi

Does anyone happen to have an original copy of Revs?

I'd like to do a lap or 2 for Nostalgia's sake but I don't have the piece of
paper that shows which key does what.   Working it out by trial and error is
something I don't have time for?

Can anyone find one, scan it in and put it up on the web somewhere?

Cheers

Unfortunately, all of my BBC Micro stuff I have sold or destroyed years
ago.

I really enjoyed playing Revs and this game was what got me interested in
F1 and motorsports in general. My favourite track was Snetterton and there
was many a hair raising session tearing down the 2 straights and braking
at the last possible moment to take the corners...The slipstream effect
was cool as well...:-)
I also used to spend a whole afternoon playing as all the racers one after
the other and much carnage ensued as cars got bumped off the track or
ended up sitting in the middle of the track for the rest of the race...:-)

I think some of the controls were W for forward and A and D for steering S
for reverse and maybe Shift, TAB or CTRL for the clutch

Have you tried a Google search?

And that didn't point you at AcornPreservation.org, which has full scans of
all the Revs packaging?

Curious.

Sam.

Should have one if you still want the keys;  a scan is out of the
question, I'm afraid!
