Controls

  • Steering Wheel: Use the joystick to steer your car just as you would with any real car; in MAME, the equivalent for it is the left and right arrow keys.
  • Gas Pedal: Step on the gas pedal to accelerate your car; in MAME, the equivalent is the left Ctrl key, but you may wish to change it to the up arrow.
  • Break Pedal: Step on the break pedal to decelerate your car; in MAME, the equivalent is the left Alt but you may wish to change to the down arrow.
  • Clutch Pedal: Step on this pedal to let the clutch in (or out); in MAME, the equivalent is the space bar, but you may wish to change it to the left Ctrl.
  • View Change Button: Use this button to change the view from the default first-person one to a third-person one (with the camera behind your car).
  • Gear Shifter: Use the gear shifter to change the gear your car is driving in; in MAME, the equivalent is the "Stick Shift" option in the "Dip Switches".

Some of the games advertised were Japan-only; the Team Red Lightning cars also have the word "Polygonizer" (which was the nickname for the retired Namco System 21 hardware) on their spoilers, and the track also features advertisements for the aforementioned Four Trax, Driver's Eyes and Solvalou (there is also one featuring the four racing teams' initials of RL, BC, YC and GI, and two for this game, asking the question "Who's the ACE DRIVER?").
