1.1 Introduction to the FAQ
This is the FAQ for Top Gear Pocket. Top Gear
Pocket is for the Game Boy Color and is the first
game to have the Rumble Pack. It will only work
for the Game Boy Color. So you need to buy a
Game Boy Color to play this game.
1.2 Updates

The track guide for Desert is up. The track guide
is simpler now.
1.025 Version

This FAQ was created.
1.3 Game Controls
The Instruction manual has some mistakes. Here are
the real controls:
A button is Acceleration, not the B button.
B button is the breaks, not the A button.
Select button does nothing, the correct button is
the Start button.
Using manual tranmission, down button is to shift
up and up button is to shift up.
Turning buttons are left and right.
1.4 Q & A
Can I copy this FAQ?
I changed this now. E-mail me before you copy my
FAQ. Some people may forget to do that. If I see
any changes when you copy this FAQ, you will be
forced to play the Game.com. This document Copyright
1999 Daniel Velovic.
Can I help you?
In future FAQs, I may have problems in a few
sections. These sections will be noted as !HELP!
and that means that you can give me some help.
My e-mail address will be at the bottom of the
FAQ.
1.5 What to expect in future FAQs?
You thought that Top Gear Pocket has only 2 cars
and 3 tracks. Think again! When you beat all of
the open tracks, new tracks and cars will open
up. The password section will be covered in a
seprate FAQ next update.
2.1 Introduction to Cars
Top Gear Pocket has only 2 cars when you turn on
the game. These 2 cars will get you started.
Rated from 1 to 10 I's. They may not be exact
and changed preety often when possible. This i
means half a point.

2.4 Q & A About the Cars
Why only 2 cars?
That's what you start out with. Duh!
How can I get more cars?
Beating the tracks in the game will give you
more cars.
Do I have to?
Yes.
Are there other types of cars?
Use that code on the bottom of the FAQ to find
out. The password will be removed in the next
update.
Why does the Type-CO car slide in the tarmac
turns and not the Type-IP?
Any car that has higher acceleration then top
speed can slide in the tarmac turns. When using
the Type-CO car, tap the left or right button in
the turns carefully.
3.1 Introduction to the Tracks
Top Gear Pocket has 3 tracks when you start the
game. The next update will feature expanded
coverage of the tracks. Turns will now be like
this:
Easy Right
Medium Right
Hard Right
Easy Left
Medium Left
Hard Left
Upward jump.
The reason why I did this is that it will be far
less confusing.
3.2 Grassland
This is a simple track for the first time TGP
player. All cars do well on the tarmac.
Distance: 4296 m
Laps: 3
Total Distance: 12888 m

3.3 Desert
The gravel road is a pretty tough track. I
suggest you use the 4WD cars. If you are
careful, you might win this race.

gravel track has some tight turns with jumps in
the middle of 2 of those turns. It is the
longest of the first 3 tracks as well.

Laps: 2
Total Distance: 15216
3.5 Q & A About the Tracks
Are the tracks hard?
Grassland is a tarmac track. It's very easy.
The others are a little harder, but you could
do it.
I need a little help on the Jungle.
It can be a really tough track. The track will
be mapped out soon.
Bunus Passwords
The password section will be gone at the next
update and will be in a seprate FAQ called
Passwords.
Backseat Next Update
The Desert has been mapped out. The best time
for Desert is coming, plus the track guide to
