Atari FLASHBACK2 CX-2600 - Manual (Page 52)

DODGE ‘EM (TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
It’s you against the computer crash car. Accelerate. Change lanes. Each driver gets three heats. A
crash ends the heat. If your score looks too good, another crash car comes on course. Different levels of
difficulty keep the game a constant challenge.
Dodge To Win!
Each player controls a car (colors may vary):
Red car - left controller player
Green car - right controller player
Blue car - computer controlled (except in Game 3)
Steer your race car counterclockwise on the four lane track. Your objective is to score as many points
as possible by running over the dots which appear on the lanes of the track.
The computer car races clockwise on the track and tries to crash into your car. When a crash occurs,
you lose one turn. If you run over two sets of dots, TWO computer cars will appear on the track.
To avoid the computer car and to score points, your timing is important. Use your accelerator and your
skill at steering from one lane to another to win.
You may change a maximum of two lanes at a time, except when accelerating. When accelerating,
you may change one lane at a time.
In one-player games score as many points as possible during your three turns. There are two two-
player games:
A. You and your opponent take turns scoring while the computer controls the other car. (Game 2)
B. You and your opponent go for it at the same time. The player using the left Joystick starts as
the point-scoring car (moving left to right on the screen); the right player controls the crash car
with one speed and no point-scoring. When a crash occurs, the roles are reversed. (Game 3)
The number at the top, right side of the screen represents both players scores, and changes color
according to the color of each car.
You'll hear the roar of the engines and the crashes.
Controls
In all games, your race car automatically moves forward around the four lane track. To steer your car
right or left, move the Joystick forward or backward (towards yourself). The red controller button acts as
your gas pedal and accelerates your car.
