controls the Cursor on the screen with Keys A and S Left and Right, P and L
Up and Down. To fire your gun press Space Bar or Fire Button on Joystick.

seconds to your score.

much speed and distance before the driver and brake man jump in for their
descent.

A and S controls the bob Left and Right as it hurtles down the track.

To apply the brake on the bob press Space Bar or Fire Button on Joystick.

The optimum position through the bends at maximum speed and minimum time is
towards the top of the bend but beware, too high and it becomes dangerous.

As he approaches the take off point, again press Fire Button or Space Bar to
launch him into the air. Whilst in the air P and L control the skier's

To gain maximum points, time your jump off the run and keep your skis
together for as long as possible for those valuable style points.

A and S keys are left and right or joystick.

Weave your skier through the gates keeping the Red flags to the right and the
Blue flags to the left.
