**Wednesday, April 05, 2000
       -6:29:17 PM Central Time-
       Ok I got tired of all the messages saying "What happened to this?" or "Why
don't you have that?" so I re-added the Luxoflux Messages section and added 2 other
sections. Also if you think I should have something in here, tell me. There, You all
happy yet?

**Monday, April 03, 2000
       -5:35:31 PM Central Time-
       It's been a long time sense I updated last, almost a month. I had spring break
and then came down with a bad case of numonia. I got an acount at driveway.com so I
don't have to keep loosing my disks. Not much of a change this time. Expect a big
update for lost time soon.

**Tuesday, March 07, 2000
       - 5:59:31 PM Central Time -
       Another day, another code, another character story, another migrane...
That code is for those wimpy hardcore cheaters who still can't beat the computer at
it's easiest. You have to look at it to see it, not here.

**Saturday, March 04, 2000
       - 4:18:00 PM Central Time -
       It's been a while sence I updated. My coputer's A-drive becamse jammed so I
couldn't use it.
       - 7:56:39 PM Central Time -
       2 new codes have come out, too late for many of us. Although they'd do nice
if you have to delete your game. Check the codes section.

**Saturday, February 26, 2000
       -4:52:15 PM Central Time-
       Managed to get all the way through one of Brandon B.'s emails. 1 down ### to
go. Today is my birthday so it is possible of another update later.

**Thursday, February 24, 2000
       - 7:53:27 PM Central Time -
       I had my mail flooded by one man who is helping me. I only got through one
mail out of ten till I had to get off.

**Monday, February 21, 2000
       - 12:56:38 PM Central Time -
       I added another contact and a few Nintendo 64 glitches. PLEASE! No more emails
titled "question." I logged into my email to be flooded with "question"'s this
morning

**Saturday, February 19, 2000
       - 2:01:06 PM Central Time -
       This might not look like a big update but it was. I shortened the line length
which took me all morning and added a Version Advantages/Disadvantages section.
       - 4:50:49 PM -
       I worked on the character descriptions some and worked a little more on the
line length. You should be able to view this page with ICQ on, attached to the right
side of your screen with it as small as possible.
       - 7:39:23 PM -
       This real shouldn't be considered an update but messed with the Thank You's
section.


**Friday, February 18, 2000
       - 8:55:47 PM Central Time -
       I went code hunting today for all systems and only found new codes for PSX
and N64. I also came across a fake DC code that is a real code for PSX and N64.
The NO_CODE does not work on Dreamcast. I don't know who this Law character is
or whoever else is posting it. This code absolutely does not work for DC, I
know, I tested it.

**Thursday, February 17, 2000
       - 8:49:25 PM Central Time -
       I added the last character description and started 2 new things for the
character descriptions: Basic Stats and Hawk's Scorecard. I also fixed a few
problems for Playstation gamers. No response from any N64 players yet. Also my
FAQ hasn't been added to the N64 and PSX FAQ lists at Game FAQs as of now. I've
mailed him twice and haven't gotten a response.
       - 9:23:39 PM -
       Just added the N64 basic controls only because I got a little pissed and
started to ask around. Still haven't received one for PSX yet.

**Wednesday, February 16, 2000
       - 6:13:03 PM Central Time -
       It's funny how a sinus infection, computer illiterates using your
computer, and a couple of personal problems can get you behind. I added quite a
few more glitches and have gone universal. I know that some of the information
is wrong sense I only own the Dreamcast version. Please tell me A.S.A.P. of
errors you find.

**Wednesday, February 09, 2000
       - 4:47:15 PM Central Time -
       Added another glitch. You'd wonder how I actually manage to get any work
done on this with all the fun I've had with the new(and freeware)Winamp program.
I have been on 10 hours downloading skins and awesome programs. Definitely the
best sound program out there.
       - 6:39:58 PM -
       Was working on my page and found some problems. Fixed 'em.

**Tuesday, February 08, 2000
       - 8:45:54 PM Central Time -
       I finally finished the most boring part of a walkthrough, THE WALKTHROUGH
ITSELF! I'm glad to get that out of the way. Now I left with a few changes and
whatever else I want. Oh joy! I added a couple more glitches.

**Saturday, February 05, 2000
       - 3:05:28 PM Central Time -
       Made some of the codes easier to understand and added a new code.
       - 9:45:20 PM -
       Added the glitches section and took out the Luxoflux messages. Also added
a trick. I had made a reference to but just noticed I did have on here.

**Friday, February 04, 2000
       - 5:03:06 PM Central Time -
       Finished all the level descriptions and added a couple levels to the
Drifter's walkthrough.

**Tuesday, February 01, 2000
       - 6:46:36 PM Central Time -
       Got a couple more levels in. The Gamemaster/Opimorph ordeal is over but
someone has asked me to help with what will be a major site. Updates might
become even more small.

**Monday, January 31, 2000
       - 5:30:37 PM Central Time -
       This was a small update. I ran spell check again and added another level
description. Don't expect any real update again until the whole
GameMaster/Opimorph thing blows over because I'm becoming rather distraught over it.
       - 9:42:53 PM -
       Added a couple more level descriptions. The Gamemaster/Opimorph ordeal
seems to be letting up a bit. Gamemaster has admitted his fault in it.

**Friday, January 28, 2000
       - 11:57:00 AM Central Time -
       Just ran spell check. How could anyone read that???
       - 8:27:36 PM -
       Finished all the new level descriptions/tricks. Probably won't update
again until Monday.

**Thursday, January 27, 2000
       - 5:44:14 PM Central Time -
       Ok so maybe I didn't get such a big update in. My mom got on the computer
as soon as I got up so I couldn't do anything. I did manage another level
description.

**Wednesday, January 26, 2000
       - 8:44:16 PM Central Time -
       I started the Drifters quest. I also added a couple new level descriptions
and listed all the levels. Where did I come up with those trick names?!?!?!
Maybe I'm sick. Oh well, Oklahoma has a snow day tomorrow so expect a big
update. YEAH! NO SCHOOL!!!

**Tuesday, January 25, 2000
       - 6:09:16 PM Central Time -
       Drifters' descriptions and level tricks started. Drifters finished soon.

**Monday, January 24, 2000
       - 4:46:51 PM Central Time-
       Oh this is just dandy. Don't you love it when you have been using one
program all the time that has been screwing you and you make a total fool of
yourself complaining about it? By the way, sense when has Notepad taken up more
ram than WordPad? WordPad is a much more complex program. Finished out the
Coyote quest guide.
       - 5:47:41 PM -
       BIRD'S EYE VIEW FOUND! Special Thanks to DragonMaster Shinji. Check
Codes/Game Tricks section.
       - 9:57:04 PM -
       REMOVING CODES FOUND! Thanks to my searching and GameWinners.

**Sunday, January 23, 2000
       - 1:28 PM Central Time -
       I found an error that was just taking up space so I fixed that. It still
doesn't give me much room to work though. Thanks to Demonic Corn Chip for the
Boogie Bio. Had to try every trick to get it in there. Some things might be hard
to read now.


**Saturday, January 22, 2000
       - 2:00 PM -
       I was able to start the Coyotes quest till I started getting that warning
again.


**Friday, January 21, 2000
       - 5:03 PM Central Time -
       Ok now I'm confused. Somehow I managed to complete all the rest of the
Coyotes. Maybe it's not an error with my ram. Well anyway I'm trying to put
together a bio for Boogie. If you manage to make one before me and think I might
like it, go ahead and give it to me.
       - 6:56 PM -
       Interactive walkthrough opens. It's extremely cheap right now and many pages
aren't up. They should be soon.

**Thursday, January 20, 2000
       - 9:40 AM Central Time -
       Ok some more done and changed to the correct format. My mistake. Changed a
couple combo moves descriptions and errors. Vigilantes' quest started.
       - 10:47 AM -
       Vigilantes' quest completed.
       - 1:41 PM -
       More errors found. Added cheat warnings. Character descriptions started
now that I found my instruction manual.
       - 5:14 PM -
       Had to add a couple things to Houston's special that I just found. Check to
see. Added 2 new sections "How you ever..." and Luxoflux Messages. I need to quit
trying to update so much.
       - 9:58 PM -
       Added "For SEGA (R) Dreamcast" and some more Character descriptions. Am I ever
going to stop tonight? Ran out of RAM on this cheap computer so I had to stop. Also
fixed a couple of errors and tried things to save space.

**Wednesday, January 19, 2000
       - 5:59:42 PM Central Time -
       Everything restarted after a little accident froze my computer. I hope I
can get everything the same.
       - 8:34:30 PM -
       Weapons and codes list completed.

4.) Weapons
-----------
       In this section the name of the weapon is shown in *'s followed by a short
description. Then comes the combo moves of each weapon followed by a description
of them. Some of the combo names are ones I made up because of none shown.

NOTE: The instruction manual has some typos. I just found that out. Some info
       Might seem wrong but it is not.

NOTE 2: Low-Average and Low/Average aren't the same thing. Low-Average means Low
       to Average. Low/Average on the other hands means halfway between Low and
       Average.

Guide:
^ = Up
\/ = Down
> = Right
< = Left
FMG = Fire Machine Gun

**Mosquito Machine Gun**
DAMAGE: Very Low
As the gun temperature rises the fire rate decreases. Unlimited ammo. This
weapon doesn't have to be highlighted to be fired, just hit the right trigger
button, Z trigger, or <Playstation command>
       CALIBER: 5.56mm FIRE RATE: 720 rounds/min at low temperature


**Interceptor Missiles**
DAMAGE: Low
       Highly accurate, but, as with all weapons, depends on the enemies
avoidance level.
       SPEED: 100 mph max      RANGE: 1200 ft

       Combos:
Halo Decoy
^ + ^ + \/ + FMG     Cost: 2 missiles
DAMAGE: None
       Fires a double missile flaming flare that acts as a false target. Enemies
lock onto it instead of your vehicle. Enemies can still hit you with straight
fire weapons. The decoy is destroyed when it runs out of juice (about 10seconds)
or hits something(weapon, wall, car, etc.).

Afterburner
^ + ^ + ^ + FMG     Cost: 2 missiles
DAMAGE: None
       Activates 2 missiles without detaching them from your vehicle giving a
Momentary boost of speed. Great for more power over jumps or for getaways.

Multi Missile
^ + ^ + > + FMG     Cost: 2-4 missiles
DAMAGE: Low-Average
       Fires 2 to 4 missiles quickly in a row. Great for a multi angled attack.


**Bull's Eye Rockets**
DAMAGE: Average
       Straight fire weapon that has no tracking ability.
       SPEED: 120 mph  RANGE: 650 ft

       Combos:
Road Runner
^ + \/ + \/ + FMG     Cost: 2 rockets
DAMAGE: None
       Fires a non-explosive rocket that, if it hits an enemy, attaches to a
vehicle and spins the vehicle out of control. This doesn't serve a very good
purpose because it causes no damage unless it just happens push the enemy into
something. It does cause them to loose a good firing angle though.

Stampede
^ + \/ + ^ + FMG     Cost: 2-5 rockets
DAMAGE: Average-High
       Fires 2 to 5 rockets in just under a second. Extremely fun move and a good
way to total a vehicle.

Bastion Rockets
^ + \/ + > + FMG     Cost: 2 rockets
DAMAGE: Low
       This fires 3 rockets, one red, one white, and one blue, that chase down enemy
shots based onto you. This can cause damage to enemies if it hits one.


**Sky Hammer Mortar**
DAMAGE: Average
       Inaccurate and slow, has limited tracking ability.
       RANGE: 1000ft

       Combos:
Turtle Turnover
\/ + \/ + \/ + FMG     Cost: 2 shells
DAMAGE: Low
       A shell is fired that has so much force with it coming down with it that
it forces the enemy to flip over. Great for use against someone who really
doesn't understand the trick of righting one's self back onto their tires.

Crater Maker
\/ + \/ + ^ + FMG     Cost: 2-5 shells
DAMAGE: Average-Very High
       A gargantuan shell is fired to about half the normal height of the mortar(be
careful with that). Becomes about twice as accurate because of the size increase.
Causes so much damage that it actually leaves a crater in the ground(sorry it
disappears after a while). Damage and crater size depend on the amount of shells
used. A threat to some specials.

Flat Maker
\/ + \/ + > + FMG     Cost: 2 shells
DAMAGE: Currently Unknown
       This fires a shell that , when it lands, causes anyone with-in a certain
area to have flat tires(I think).


**Bruiser Cannon**
DAMAGE: Average
        A lagged cannon that can rotate 360 degrees. Turret speed is a little on
the slow side making it hard to target smaller vehicles. Has a longer rage than
posted but is so inaccurate at that point there's no use.
       CALIBER: 60mm   RANGE: 850 ft

       Combos:
Cow Puncher
\/ + ^ + \/ + FMG     Cost: 2 shells
DAMAGE: Very Low
       Fires a shell with extremely high force behind it. It can easily launch an
enemy halfway across any level. Fun to use just to annoy another human player or
for a laugh to see this tiny dot that was a enemy.

Buckshot
\/ + ^ + ^ + FMG     Cost: 2-6 shells
DAMAGE: Average-Very High
       For those of you who know what a shotgun fires, this is the Vigilante 8
equivalent. This fires from 2 to 6 shells all at the same time in slightly
different directions giving wide spread damage.

Bounceshot
\/ + ^ + > + FMG     Cost: 2 shells
DAMAGE: Low/Average per bounce
       I'm not sure this is the real name of this move but it's not far off. This
fires a big blue shell that hits an enemy and then follows the ground in the
opposite direction (usually right back at you) until it hits another car, an
object of some sort, or a steep incline on the ground where it bounces off in
another direction. It bounces for about 10 times at most.


**Roadkill Mines**
DAMAGE: Average/High
       A mine is a mine what can I say. It can be dropped at any speed on just
about anything, even water! It packs quite a punch too.

       Combos:
Bear Hug
< + > + \/ + FMG     Cost: 2 mines
DAMAGE: None
       A very unique move indeed. This places a mine that sits and waits for
anything to come along. When the unaware vehicle wanders into it's range it
activates an artificial gravity that drags the vehicle towards the center of
the mine. By itself, it doesn't cause any damage, but if you use it smartly you
can place it in a danger zone where to enemies will be attacked by something.
This also is great to make sure your enemy stands still for a while so you can
totally open up on them with everything in your arsenal.

Cactus Patch
< + > + ^ + FMG     Cost: 2-6 mines
DAMAGE: Average-Very High
       This move is very unique too. This places a big mine on the ground. When
any vehicle gets close to it, it splits into however many mines you put into it.
Each separate mine then has the power of a normal mine but in such a small area
that multiple ones go off at the same time causing massive damage. WARNING: You
can only have so many of these. After you place one or two they start to destroy
previous place ones.

Floating Mine
< + > + > + FMG     Cost: 2 mines
DAMAGE: Average/High
        This launches a mine that floats at just the right height to attack those
vehicles that are using the hover propulsion mechanism. This actually follows
the closest vehicle. This can attack grounded cars and is the only mine that can
attack floating cars.


**Brimstone Burner**
DAMAGE: Low/Average
       Yeah! They added a flame-thrower. This is the new weapon for V8:2. Catches
the enemy on fire to continue the damage afterwards.
       FIRE RATE: Continuous

Hot Foot
> + < + ^ + FMG     Cost: 10 gallons(I guess it would be gallons)
DAMAGE: Low-High
       This launches a big ball of fire that skips across the ground twice
sending flame to the sides on each bounce. Can only catch an enemy on fire if
the come in contact with the flaming ball.

Firewall
> + < + \/ + FMG     Cost: 2-16 gallons
DAMAGE: Average
       This launches columns of fire from the front of the vehicle. There can be
up to 8 columns and stretch a good distance. They don't last very long but if
something comes in contact with one it will catch on fire.

Oil Slick
> + < + > + FMG     Cost: 5 gallons
DAMAGE: None
        This launches a puddle of non-burning oil from the front of the vehicle.
If anyone hits it they will loose control of their vehicle.

-------------------------------
5.) Team/Character Descriptions
-------------------------------
       Basic descriptions of each team and character in the game.

NOTE: Low-Average and Low/Average aren't the same thing. Low-Average means Low
       to Average.
       Low/Average on the other hands means halfway between Low and Average.

PERSONAL NOTE: Those Hawk's Scorecards are based on what I think compared to the
       other stats of the car, not on the ### values. I prefer faster cars so
       the rates of the biger cars might be off.

**Vigilantes**
       The good guys, that basically sums that up. Was in the original. Lead by
Convoy in both new and old.

*Sheila* (returning with same special)
Car: Wonderwagon
       - 1st chassis = dune buggy
       - 2nd chassis = dune buggy that would fit in a Tomb Raider game
Special: Tantum gun
       - A rapid fire weapon that can knock weapons of enemy vehicles.
       DAMAGE: Low

Bio: Convoy's niece put her academic studies on hold when she received and
       alarming call from John Torque. Apparently, the Coyotes had resurfaced,
       led by a mysterious new leader, and both her uncle and Houston were
       missing!

Basic Stats:
       Acc.: 348   Top Spd.: 176
       Armor: 86   Avoid: 310

Hawk's Scorecard:
       Steering: A-  Special: C+
       Acc.: A+      Top Spd.: B-
       Armor: C-     Avoid: A
       Fun: A
          Average: B+

Hawk's Notes: Sheila Makes for a good choice. My avergage just proves it
       in my eyes. I like the weapon but it just doesn't pack a good punch.


*John Torque* (returning)
Car: Thunderbolt
       - 1st chassis = sleek sports car
       - 2nd chassis = an even sleeker sports car the a weird intake
Special: Wheel O' Fortune
       - A semi-auto weapon that fires shells that burst in a flash
       of white light. Every now and then it fires a stronger shot that
       is twice powerful, it even knocks Torque backwards.
       DAMAGE: High-Very High

Bio: Horrified when he found his friends Convoy and Houston missing, J.T.
       unearthed a couple old Mosquitoes from Convoy's backyard and set
       out on a search for his friends...

Basic Stats:
       Acc.: 400    Top Spd.: 344
       Armor: 182   Avoid: 310

Hawk's Scorecard:
       Steering: A  Special: A+
       Acc.: B+     Top Spd.: A-
       Armor: B+    Avoid: A+
       Fun: A+
         Average: A-

Hawk's Notes: A very good choice acording to the score I gave J.T. The reason
       i gave him an A- in Top Speed is because sometimes he is TOO fast.


*All-Star Trio* (new)
Car: Dakota Stunt Cycle
       - 1st chassis = off-road bike with a passenger seat attached
       - 2nd chassis = Bike gang type motorcycle with passenger seat
Special: Soaring Glory
- Patriotic(red, white, blue) fireworks are launched high into the air.
       From there they head towards your target and come crashing down
       on it. Has extremely limited range. Also has the ability to
       knock off shields.
       DAMAGE: Very High

Bio: Tomey, Romey, and Leilah began touring at the age of 14 and their
       incredible stunt shows soon captivated audiences nationwide. In
       1977, they set out for the southwest in search of their missing
       sister.

Basic Stats:
       Acc.: 336   Top Spd.: 204
       Armor: 50   Avoid:348

Hawk's Scorecard:
       Steering: D-  Special: A+
       Acc.: A-      Top Spd.: A
       Armor: F      Avoid: A+
       Fun: D-
         Average: C+

Hawk's Notes: As you can see, I don't like these 3 much. They tend to drift to
       the left and back.


*Houston* -Locked- (returning with a new team and special)
Car: Samson Tow Truck
       - 1st chassis = beat up old truck with a flat bed
     - 2nd chassis = sleeker truck with pick-up tuck bed
Special: Tow Hook
- This shoots a rope with a hook attached. If it comes in contact with an
       enemy it catches. It only deals damage if stress is put on the tow
       cable. It can deal damage even through a shield and automatically removes
       any propulsion mechanismon contact. Can cause an instant death to low
       armored cars on high damage setting.
       DAMAGE: None-Instant Death

       sticker
       - 2nd chassis = Brand new high tech RV

       DAMAGE: None-Low

Bio: <Made by Hawk of War> After the disappearance of Dave, UFO fanatics
       everywhere began top scan the skies for even the slightest peep of

Hawk's Notes: I rated Dallas 13 pretty high. The special has quite a different

       such a low avoidance level.

       - 1st chassis = Old pick-up
       - 2nd chassis = Adventure style pick-up

Hawk's Notes: Out of all the heavy weights I like Molo the best. That special

       with is size.

Car: Excelsior Stretch Limo
       - 1st chassis = Normal limo with black cloth roof
       - 2nd chassis = Same but more streamlined and a solid metal roof

       effective range of this move.
       DAMAGE: Average to all attacked cars

Bio: 2017: Ex-Vigilante Slick Clyde turned OMAR leader. In his most desperate

       DAMAGE: Low/Average

Bio: <Made by Demonic Corn Chip> The slammer wasn't exactly the perfect place

       - 2nd chassis = Huge cockroach, streamlined with pointed ends and new special
Special: Compactor

       part that changes. For the first chassis, it is a double pronged dumpster lift.
       In the second chassis it's a pair of mandibles. Basically activate the special
       to move it to it's ready position then run into an enemy. If it's a small
       enemy then it will be lifted and dropped into the compactor of the truck. If
       the enemy is large then it will be banged on the ground a couple of times till
       it is tossed forward.
       DAMAGE: High

Bio: He was first spotted in 1976 near Nevada, rummaging through a landfill.

       DAMAGE: Very High

Bio: This traveling preacher was busy spreading the word, however, not by
       singing gospel. Instead, he was promoting the idea of impending Armageddon.

6.) Quest Walkthroughs
----------------------

       In this section, there is only 3 walkthroughs, one for each team each person
of each team follows that walkthrough. Therefore Dallas 13 and Molo have the same
quest as Clyde.

       In this section I will give the first 2 requirements followed by the location
of the major points for each objective. Notice that objective C will always be
destroy all enemies, therefore there's no reason to list it. Also notice that an
enemy can always carry a required object no matter if I have put so down or not. If
you don't find what your looking for in these locations, start killing. Also note
that there won't always be an item in the location I displayed.

CAUTION: Even though I might say items might be located there doesn't mean that I'm
       right. There won't always be items located in every spot but that doesn't mean
       that I'm wrong. Please make sure that you check to see if an item never
       appears there before reporting a bad spot first.

NOTE: If you see something that says "look at...", "See...", or "Use the... trick."
       Then most likely I'm saying use the trick displayed under that level in the
       Level Tricks/Descriptions section.

7.) Character Stories/Enemies
-----------------------------

***Vigilantes***

**Sheila**
Level 1-Arizona
  Story-UC Berkeley was a hip place to study and play, or more like... play, then
study.  OK, forget study altogether.  For better or worse, Sheila had clearly
undergone a transformation at the university.  Now, summoned by her old buddy
Torque, she's heading back to Arizona. Something's up with Houston and uncle
Convoy...
Enemies-Moon Trekker

Level 2-Louisiana
  Story-Sheila never arrived at Convoy's service station-she was attacked by some
lunatic near the meteor crater! After the battle, Torque met Sheila near Flagstaff,
Sheila can't believe the news-her uncle is dead?  She's devistated.  Torque thinks
Houston may have survived the attack-Sheila must fine her...
Enemies-El Guerrero

Level 3-Florida
  Story-Houston is alive-what a relief!  It gets better when Houston tells Sheila
of her master plan to bring Convoy back. Coolness, sister!  Slick Clyde gone bad?
Not a surprise really, she never liked the dweeb anyway.  Now, Sheila is ready to
kick some butt...
Enemies-Goliath Halftrack, Moon Trekker

Level 4-Pennsylvania
  Story-Wow, who is the fireball of a girl in the silver car?  Could it be... FBI
agent Chassey Blue?!  Sheila is impressed-looks like she isn't the only one to
undergo a major makeover. Chassey has definitely taken a turn for the better-the
clothes, the hair, the car!  She didn't even bust Sheila for vigilantism-how cool is
that?!
Enemies-Excelsior Stretch Limo, Palomino XIII

Level 5-Minnesota
  Story-It looks like several well-known Coyotes are on the loose, including Molo.
To top it off, Sid Burn's ex-flame Nina is now supplying arms to Clyde.  The police
remain concentrated in larger cities, so the outback is a free-for-all.  Sounds just
like the old days... no biggie!
Enemies-Blue Burro Bus, El Guerrero, Grubb Dual Loader

Level 6-Utah
  Story-According to Chassey, Clyde sent his crew to rob the Olympus resort so that
he can continue funding his terrorist operations.  Since Chassey was ordered to stay
close to Clyde, she suggested that Sheila take a trip to Utah and protect the
resort.  No problemo! Unfortunately, she arrives too late...
Enemies-Tsunami, Palomino XIII, Marathon

Level 7-California
  Story-Helping Chassey actually feels like being an agent!  Sheila is totally into
it-she's even referring to herself as "Convoy's Angel", in memory of her great
uncle.  Torque thinks she's gone cuckoo, but Houston likes the moniker.  Supposedly,
there is some contraband coming into the harbor... Angel is on the case!
Enemies-Grubb Dual Loader, Moon Trekker, El Guerrero, Excelsior Stretch Limo

Level 8-Alaska(FINAL LEVEL)
  Story-Chassey can see the crazy kid has potential. She promises to arrange for a
scholarship for Sheila in the fabled FBI Academy, provided Sheila can prove she's
serious about it.  What a better opportunity to show initiative than to bust the
notorious conman Boogie booby-trapping a major U.S. refinery?
Enemies-Tsunami, Palomino XIII, Blue Burro Bus
Boss-Marathon


**John Torque**
Level 1-Arizona
  Story-Does anyone have a problem with John Torque's latest gig?  J.T. has had it
with the jokes!  Shoot, a bounty hunter is as honest of a job as any, right?
Besides, there is some decent bread to be made in capturing wanted crooks, and it's
fun too!  Especially when the felon is the foxy Nina Loco...
Enemies-Marathon

Level 2-Louisiana
  Story-What's going on here?!  While tracking Nina in Arizona, Torque gets
ambushed by...  Boogie?!  Looks like Nina busted the dance-freak outta jail!  On top
of that, Torque finds Convoy's place ablaze and abandoned.  He immediately phones
Sheila in California, then sets out after the perpetrators...
Enemies-Blue Burro Bus

Level 3-Florida
  Story-First Boogie and now... Molo?!  Is it Torque's worst freaking nightmare, or
what?!  He sure hopes the Coyotes haven't caused Convoy or Houston any hurt-he's got
to find his friends fast!  Following reports of attacks on civilians by strange
flying cars, J.T. continues on to Florida...
Enemies-Palomino XIII, Tsunami

Level 4-Pennsylcania
  Story-Finally, Torque runs into Houston.  She is alive and well, but she tells
him that Convoy is... dead?!  J.T. can't believe his mentor is gone. He also has a
difficult time grasping Houston's stories of Slick Clyde traveling through time and
all.  Good thing the girl has a plan of attack...
Enemies-Marathon, Excelsior Stretch Limo

Level 5-Minnesota
  Story-Houston asks Torque to follow some suspects to Minnesota.  It is unclear
whether these crazies are associated with the Coyotes, but it's obvious that they're
up to no good.  When Torque catches up with the gangsters at Pander Island, he finds
the place booby-trapped with explosives!
Enemies-Grubb Dual Loader, Moon Trekker, Goliath Halftrack

Level 6-Utah
  Story-The efforts of the Vigilantes are paying off. Now, Houston is determined to
get her hands on one of Clyde's time-travel gadgets; who knows why?  Torque is off
to Utah.  Supposedly, Nina and gang hit a ski resort and took off with lotsa cash.
J.T. would be darned if he didn't look into it...
Enemies-Tsunami, Palomino XIII, Blue Burro Bus

Level 7-California
  Story-Whoa!!  Having obtained the time-travel device, Houston rewound time by a
few weeks and now it's back to square one.  Only this time, her hubby Convoy is
alive!  Cool, brother!  Now the Coyotes are toast. It's about time J.T. captured
Nina.  Not so fast-Torque falls right into Nina's trap at the harbor...
Enemies-Grubb Dual Loader, Goliath Halftrack, Marathon, Excelsior

Level 8-Alaska(FINAL LEVEL)
  Story-This Nina girl is a cunning creature-it is the second time she has evaded
Torque.  Is Nina truly bad, or is she simply trying to survive in this world gone
mad?  It sure looks like she's up to her neck in trouble, yet she continues to weave
her webs of deception.  Is three times a charm?
Enemies-Tsunami, Palomino XIII, Blue Burro Bus
Boss-El Guerrero


**All-Star Trio**
Level 1-Arizona
  Story-As siblings go, Tomey, Romey, and Leilah do not always agree, but there are
two things all of them love unanimously-their missing older sister Tanyah and their
stunt cycles.  So, when Tomey spotted a picture of Tanyah in a paper one fateful
morning, the trio hit the road right there and then, without any arguing.
Enemies-Moon Trekker

Level 2-Louisiana
  Story-The local folk sure recognize Tanyah's picture, though down here she seems
to be known as "Houston".  In the past two days, the siblings got more leads than
they did during the entire year of their milk carton campaign!  Ok, let's follow
this Boogie dude-looks like he's one of the gangstas!
Enemies-Marathon

Level 3-Florida
  Story-Finally, a break!  The team runs into a secret agent wannabe named Sheila,
who claims to know Houston personally. Sounds like the gangstas killed Houston's old
man, but their sister may be alive!  As a matter of fact, Sheila suspects Houston is
after the Coyotes for revenge.  Ok, team-time to join the Vigilantes!
Enemies-Palomino XIII, Goliath Halftrack

Level 4-Pennsylvania
  Story-A black T,bolt joins the battle and helps out the team.  It's Vigilante
brother Torque, who is also searching for Houston.  Torque is leery of the kids and
their missing sister stories-are these brats simply looking to pull a publicity
stunt? Nevertheless, he agrees to spread the word.  They part ways and the team
heads east...
Enemies-Excelsior Stretch Limo, Marathon

Level 5-Minnesota
  Story-Team FAST continues their search for Houston. Following a lead from a
juvenile prison bus driver, they arrive in eastern Minnesota Bingo!  Among the
remnants of battle, the siblings find orange towing gear, matching the make Houston
is reportedly driving. Suddenly, drifters spring a surprise attack!
Enemies-Grubb Dual Loader, Moon Trekker, Goliath Halftrack

Level 6-Utah
  Story-The tip was a trap!  Fortunately, those lunatics were no match for the
trio.  The fatso in the bus will get it, in his own good time. Right now, the FAST
kids are on the trail of the Coyote gangsta leader. Looks like they're headed into
Utah's snowy highlands. Hey team-gottaput some chains on them tires!
Enemies-Tsunami, Palomino XIII, Excelsior Stretch Limo

Level 7-California
  Story-What a chill!  The stunt kids froze their butts off, but they showed the
geezer how it's done in America.  They've never seen anyone limp so fast-the creep
escaped!  No matter, the other Veegees will get him.  Sheila wants the meet at the
coast.  When the team arrives at the harbor, they find a lone FBI car overwhelmed by
Coyotes...
     C-Destroy all enemies
Enemies-Grubb Dual Loader, Goliath Halftrack, Marathon, El Guerrero

Level 8-Alaska(FINAL LEVEL)
  Story-The kids are stunned to discover the identity of the FBI car driver-it's
Sheila!  Looks like she's got a new job and some exciting news-with the help of the
agency, Sheila managed to track down Houston! The "reunion" is scheduled at the FBI
campus in one week.  Sounds like enough time to settle some scores...
Enemies-Tsunami, Palomino XIII, Excelsior Stretch Limo
Boss-Blue Burro Bus


***Coyotes***


***Drifters***

**Astronaut Bob O.**
Level 1-Arizona
  Story-Since Bob's rampage had first begun, he was labeled an animal, freak,
lunatic, vandel, and everything else in-between.  He clearly has developed the
reputation of someone with less than desirable qualities. Well sure, but as Bob O.
would readily admit, there is a good reason for that...
Enemies-Wonderwagon

Level 2-California
  Story-So, why is Bob O. in such a terrible state of mind?  How about a life's
dream shattered?  Well, there!  To the weak, this would be reason enough to end
their life; to the strong, a reason to start over; but Bob O. is a different kind of
animal-he just went berserk!
Enemies-Palomino XIII

Level 3-Alaska
  Story-Bob O. had been training for a space mission for years.  He had undergone
countless tests and some very, very unpleasant experiments.  They were long,
grueling years, but the NASA guys always knew how to keep the aspiring space
traveler motivated.  And motivated he was...
Enemies-Vertigo, Chrono Stinger

Level 4-Minnesota
  Story-Then, only days before the launch, some motorized gangsters raided the Cape
and destroyed most of the NASA compound, including the Prometheus-Bob's ticket to
orbit.  No rocket, no launch, no dream. Poof, gone!  Fine, but there is no way in
heck Bob O. will return to training labs and his sadist instructors!
Enemies-Samson Tow Truck, Xanadu RV

Level 5-Utah
  Story-Distressed over the events, Bob O. went ape-he bit the ear off one of the
instructors and ran for it.  On his way out, he stole an experimental Moon Trekker
from one of the hangars and has been wanted since.  While Bob O. is clearly a felon,
his actions can be quite puzzling at times...
Enemies-Marathon, Blue Burro Bus, El Guerrero

Level 6-Louisiana
  Story-In Louisiana, Bob O. runs into an overzealous garbage man, intent of
stripping the solar panels from his rover. The garbage man even tries to distract
Bob with a fresh, juicy bunch of bananas-what a devil!  Bob isn't buying it.  When
the garbage man doesn't let up, the astronaut gives him a beating...
Enemies-Palomino XIII, Tsunami, Excelsior Stretch Limo

Level 7-Pennsylvania
  Story-The trash man got it good, but continues to follow Bob O.  The astronaut
doesn't mind, truth be told the garbage man intrigues him-there's something
otherworldly about the hobo.  Bob has got a nose for things like that.  He decides
to look further into it...
Enemies-Wonderwagon, Xanadu RV, Livingston Truck, Thunderbolt

Level 8-Florida(FINAL LEVEL)
  Story-Bob O. has the garbage man figured out-he is convinced that the hobo is an
alien in disguise!  And...  Bob O. would bet a banana that he has a space craft
stashed somewhere too!  Who cares about NASA and its new Apollo-forget the orbit!
If Bob can hook up with the alien, he will conquer galaxies!

Enemies-Wapiti 4WD, Chrono Stinger, Vertigo
Boss-Duel Grubb Loader


**Garbage Man**
Level 1-Arizona
  Story-The Garbage Man isn't used to the ways of the locals-all this hostility and
violence have gradually turned him into a savage. Originally he had traveled here in
search of a lost friend, but due to an unforeseen problem, he was forced to stay and
blend in.  Hopefully not for long...
Enemies-Chrono Stinger

Level 2-California
  Story-The Garbage Man has been around awhile, but people still puzzle him.
Sometimes he tries to help them, but often they turn on him, as if he was some
mutant!  Granted, the G'Man doesn't really fit in-he is different, but so what?
Enemies-Xanadu RV

Level 3-Alaska
  Story-A lady named Houston offers the Garbage Man several totaled cars in
exchange for a little assistance-what a sweet human!  Sure, the Garbage Man will
gladly escort her up north-the girl looks truly distressed.  Suddenly, an unexpected
attack!
Enemies-Palomino XIII, Tsunami

Level 4-Minnesota
  Story-The refinery was a treasure trove-all these quality resouces! The Garbage
Man regrets not traveling to Alaska sooner, but it just never occured to him to
venture this far north.  Hey, who are those hooligans vearing down on the G'Man?
Enemies-Wapiti 4WD, Xanadu RV

Level 5-Utah
  Story-There is some ruckus going on in Utah.  The Garbage Man has learned to seek
out such disturbances as they often bear bountiful amounts of useful salvage.  The
mechanic at the Olympus Resort offers the Garbage Man a few old battery banks, if
the G'Man can help him keep the lifts operational.  What a precious find!
Enemies-Thunderbolt, Marathon, Livingston Truck

Level 6-Louisiana
  Story-Who is this space fanatic following the Garbage Man?  Hey look, his rover
carries high-absorption solar panels, the G'Man has been looking for those
everywhere!  Since he's had quite a bit of luck bartering with the natives lately,
the G'Man attempts to negociate a trade with the astronaut.  Bad idea!
Enemies-Blue Burro Bus, Tsunami, Excelsior Stretch Limo

Level 7-Pennyslvania
  Story-Whoa, the spaceman turned out to be another vicious freak!  Is there
anything the Garbage Man can offer Bob for these fine panels, or will he have to
muscle them out of him?  A forceful approach would be easy enough, but for some
strange reason, the G'Man seems to like the weirdo...
Enemies-Stunt Cycle, Samson Tow Truck, Xanadu RV, Livingston Truck

Level 8-Florida(FINAL LEVEL)
  Story-To get the solar panels, the G'Man decides to draw Bob into a trap.  He
loads up on bananas and makes his way back to the NASA compound; now heavily guarded
by goverment agents. The astronaut knows he's wanted there, yet he can't resist the
trashman's lure.  The G'Man hopes the agents will jump Bob...he hopes wrong...
Enemies-Wapiti 4WD, Chrono Stinger, Vertigo
Boss-Moon Trekker

8.) Level Tricks/Descriptions
-----------------------------

       This section tells you the basics of each level, tricks and dangers placed in
them. It is divided into 2 sections, New and Old.

Trick = Something that either deals damage to computer players alone, gives you
       items, or doesn't cause damage/disadvantage to just a few vehicles at a time.

Danger = Causes damage to human players or causes disadvantages to only a few
       vehicles.

***NEW***

*Meteor Crater*
State: Arizona
Overview: Big meteor crater in the a canyon type area. Has an observatory and
       drive in movie. Has many mesas and cliffs.

Tricks:
1.) Donuts of Doom:
       - Destroy the 2 donut shops without destroying the "super donuts" on top
       to send those donuts rolling around the level destroying things.
2.) Secret Area:
       - Sometimes when you enter the side door of the observatory you will enter
       an area behind the observatory housing 2 specials and 2 repairs.
3.) Pit stop and Gas:
       - Drive in between a gas station and it's pumps to get free armor repairs.
       Also there is a repair icon hidden in the garage door. Just blow it open.

Dangers:
1.) Falling Meteors:
       - Every now and then a meteor will hit randomly around the level.
2.) Attack of the Space Ant!:
       -Destroy the observatory. Wait for the big boom. Then go to the crater and
       destroy the meteor there. The ant can be destroyed and another meteor will
       land. When the ant is released it will attack ANYTHING! It even attacks you
       when you release it(that's hospitality for you). It likes to stomp and laser
       people who near the crater.


*Winter Games*
State: Utah
Description: Much like the original's Ski Resort. This level includes a gondola
       and T-bar lift. Even has a placement podium for 1st place!

Tricks:
1.) Ride the gondola:
       - Blow up the door on one of the gondola stations and wait for a gondola to
       arrive at that station. Then enter the station. You should be in the gondola
       going up or down the mountain grabbing objects and getting a nice ride. A hit
       to the gondola will blow it up and send you to the ground.
2.) Ride the T-bar:
       - Either sit in the bottom station(4-legged platform)or on the up side of the
       lift and wait for a bar to come along. It should attach to your car and give
       you a pull up the mountain.
3.) SPORT-Speed Course:
       - The speed course is the winter sport farest to the right(from mountain top
       looking down). Enter the start gate and go with the flow downhill. Steering
       is limited during this event but still possible. Usually has many object along
       the course.
4.) SPORT-Super Ski Jump:
       - The ski jump is the middle event. From the top of the mountain, blow up the
       door on the big tower and enter. Then proceed downhill.
5.) SPORT-Slalom Skiing:
       - The slalom course is the far left winter event. Enter the start gate and
       weave in and then out of either the red or blue, not both. Start by going on
       the inside.
6.) Lodge Bonus:
       - On the front of the lodge there should be a door with a deck above it. Shoot
       out the door and enter. You should be shot out of the top door on that ledge.

Dangers:
       NONE


*Ghastly Bayou*
State: Louisiana
Description: Night time level filled with warps and a big lake. Has a big mass of
       crypts.

Tricks:
1.) Noah's Flood:
       -Hit the cranks near the "bridges"(actually flood gates). Once you raise both
       to the top you should hear beeping. Quickly grab hydrofloaters. Great for
       gathering enemies into one area or grabbing objects high above the water.
2.) Gator Huntin':
       - Stay near the swirling mass in the water. The alligator should start to
       try to bite you. Eventually if you are close enough the alligator will get
       trapped. You'll get 2 specials and a repair icon. Caution: You and enemies
       can also get trapped.
3.) Warp-O'-Mania
       - Whenever a swirling mass appears in the large crypt or the farm house,
       enter to warp to the other location.

Dangers:
1.) Gator's Revenge:
       - Whenever you or an enemy is invading the water the alligator will chase
       and bite that car causing damage to it and tossing it into the air. The
       gator can only chase one car at a time.
2.) Vengeful Spirits:
       - If you happen to destroy a crypt then the ghost of the person in there
       will attack you.


*Launch Site*
State: Florida
Description: This level is based on NASA if it was on an island(which it isn't).

Tricks:
1.) Rocket Launching:
       - You launch the rocket by blasting open the door on the NASA building and
       then enter. If you enter again before you start hearing "Go for Throttle up"
       then it will stop. If you enter again after you start hearing that then you
       will launch the rocket.
2.) Makeshift Rocket:
       - Go to the back of the launch tower to the warp tunnel. When the lights are
       green, enter to find yourself strapped to the front of a rocket engine ready
       for launch. You should be shot high into the air. Let yourself fall straight
       down or try to move and grab weapons, power-ups, or even required items on
       your way down. Can't be done if the launch tower is destroyed or if the Apollo
       rocket is in the launch position.

Dangers:
1.) Sentry Turrets:
       - Where ever you see a tower with a start painted on the side is a sentry
       turret. These only fire machine guns but can still cause damage.
2.) Rocket Exhaust:
       - When ever you have the rocket ready for launch and you hear "Go for Throttle
       up" flame will come out of the tunnel underneath the rocket. This blocks
       access and cause damage to who falls into the water during it.
3.) Wind tunnel Fun:
       - These are the long structures near the middle of the level. They suck
       anything into them when there are blue marks flying towards them. You can set
       a trap by blowing up the side or back of a tunnel and then entering and
       waiting. Don't touch the blue swirling object while inside or it will throw
       you.


*Steel Mill*
State: Pennsylvania
Description: A green level(as in plants) that is crowed by objects.

Tricks:
1.) Prize Crane:
       - Go into the steel mill building to the right of the start and go straight
       up the ramp     and the edge of the building. The magnetic crane should lift you
       and carry you across the beam and drop you on the other side.
2.) Train Controls:
       - The train is controlled by the switches with the circles on them. The way
       the switch      is positioned is the way the train will go. If you want to bring
       the train to the docking station make sure to destroy the extra cars first.

Dangers:
1.) Liquid Metal Crane:
       - This is located in the steel building to the right of the start. This
       attempts to pour liquid steel on any car. If it misses then it leaves a puddle
       that follows the nearest car.
2.) Fire Spouts:
       - These are also located in the building to the right. They spout fire
       but I'm not sure how they work or why they work.
3.) Fire Conveyor:
       - This is located on the ramp in the building to the left. This spits
       out blocks of heated steel that goes down the small building outside. These
       blocks can be shot to where they form the homing puddles.


*Nuclear Plant*
State: Minnesota
Description: A Nuclear power plant. Kind of dull and boring.

Tricks:
1.) Puddles of High Fliers:
       - Drown you car in one of the fenced puddles to be shot out of the other one
       high into the air grabbing what is floating there.
2.) Turbines of Joy:
       - Go into the control room of the main building(up the ramp) and go to the
       columns in the middle. Touch one with a green light above. Go between the
       turbines in that building (the orange-red things) and wait to get a repair.

Dangers:
1.) Troublesome Reactors:
       - The reactors are the orange pulsating object in the round buildings near
       start. Destroy these with caution. Try to use long range weapons(Example:
       Bull's Eye Rockets) just with-in an accurate shooting distance, otherwise
       prepare for damage and radioactive burning. There is no way to avoid the
       engine stall. After all, Nothing stops an EMP burst.
2.) Turbines of Pain:
       - Go into the control room of the main building and hit a column with a
       red light. When something enters the space between the turbines they will
       get a shock of electricity flowing from one turbine to the other.

       entered and all lead to a different door/window. Try them all to figure it
       out.
3.) Lighthouse for Hover:

       lighthouse. Blow open the door and enter to be shot out of the top with the

       missile silos). Then blow open the glass on the side of the command center
       and enter and go out the other side and pass under the object near that silo
       (which should now have one red light and the other green) to launch a missile.

       laser beams that are rather powerful.

       into a ramp. This was added on in this game and does not happen in the
       original.
2.) Car Chute:
       - At the top of this level there is a rather large building. Blow open the
       door in the front and enter. Then you will be shot out of the chute on the
       side of the building.

Dangers:
       NONE

*Oil Fields*
State: New Mexico
Description: This is a stage filled with metal.

Tricks:
       NONE

Dangers:
1.) Pump Spouts:
       - If you happen to blow up an oil pump then occasionally a flame will shoot
       out of where that pump used to be.
2.) Gas Burners:
       - These are basically Brimstone Burners placed as part of a level. The ends
       of the pipes they are on can be destroyed to cause the fire only to show every
       few seconds. If you manage to pass these than you have access to a ramp filled
       with goodies.


*Aircraft Graveyard*
State: Arizona
Description: A level of twisted aircraft parts and junky bombers.

Tricks:
1.) "Tower to Bomber Alpha, Your clear for Bombing Run.":

       spinning. This puts one of the bombers on a below mentioned bombing run on
       your target.
2.) Hidden Treasures:
       - There are 2 areas, one hidden behind a US Airforce sign and the other by
       an out of the way road, in this stage.

Dangers:
1.) Bombing Run:
       - This happens because of the above and regularly to human players. A bomber
       flies overhead dropping a stream of bombs to the ground.
2.) Taxiing Bombers:
       - These are the bombers on the runway either landing, moving to another strip,
       or taking off. Damage has greatly increased from the last game to where 2 hits
       kill.
3.) Crane Guards:
       - 2 cranes fitted with wedges are placed on this level. One guards a random
       weapon box and the others guards a lot of goodies. The cranes can be
       destroyed.


*Ghost Town*
State: New Mexico
Description: An abandoned town near a canyon and an Indian village.

Tricks:
1.) The Midnight Train:
       - If you shoot the end car on the train you can knock off the specials on it.

Dangers:
1.) Dirt Devil:
       - There is a mini twister that roams the canyon. It doesn't cause any damage
       but it lifts you into the air. Unlike the original it doesn't spin you
       anymore.
2.) Camp Flame:
       - The Indian village has a fire in the middle of it. What do you think it
       does?


*Hoover Dam*
States: Arizona and Nevada
Description: A level with a lot of water, rock, and metal. No hydrofloater power
       ups though...

Tricks:
1.) Warp Confusion:
       - Fall into the water or enter one of the tubes to randomly be shot out of
       tubes to collect objects floating above the level. There is no way to know
       which tube you exit.

Dangers:
1.) Electric Wave:
       - If you cross the small bridge just in front of the plant then you will send
       a wave of water filled with electricity down the small canal.
2.) Positive Attracts Negative:
       - The transformers give off a charge between the last transformer on each row
       and the supporting posts. The charge moves up and down.

*Valley Farms*
State: California
Description: Farmland filled with barns and farm equipment.

Tricks:
1.) Flying Blades:
       - If you destroy a windmill then the blade will attack your target.
2.) Farmer's Ramp:
- If you destroy the red wagons near the barns then it turns into a nifty ramp.

Dangers:
1.) Irrigation Wave:
       - If you destroy one of the water spout type objects along the ditch than a
       wave of water will surge down the ditch. It stalls vehicles but causes no
       damage.
2.) Flying Blades:
       - If you are playing Vs. or team modes with no computer players then the above
       becomes a danger.


*Casino City*
State: Nevada
Description: Asphalt and lights, too many lights.

Tricks:
1.) Lift from the Blimp:
       - Whenever you see the blimp on the ground with it's door open, you can
       enter and control the blimp(using left and right). Drop by hitting the gas.


*Canyonlands*
State: Utah
Description: Dusty looking level with a small town and a lot of ruins.

Tricks:
1.) Tribal Warp:
       - Whenever there are floating lights in the circular ruins, enter the area the
       lights are in to be lifted into the air and into a warp. This will place you
       at random spots around the level.

Dangers:
1.) Rockslide Area:
- This entire area is prone to rockslides. Any missed shots will most likely cause
       a rockslide somewhere in the level.


*Ski Resort*
State: Colorado
Description: Much like the Winter Games level only smaller and more items.

Tricks:
1.) Gondola Ride:
       - Just like in the Winter Games level, blow open the door and enter when
       there's a gondola at that station.
2.) Jump For Prizes:
       - If you ever see an item floating in mid-air, look for something you could
       use as a ramp. The only items you can't get this way are placed on the gondola
       route.

Dangers:
1.) Avalanche Mayhem:
       - If you happen to destroy one of the bigger trees on the level you will
       send an avalanche down that side of the level. This is very nice for taking
       out multiple enemies. Just be careful not to get yourself.

------------------------
9.) Codes/General Tricks
------------------------

I can Fly!:   System: Dreamcast/Playstation

       Whenever you grab a hoverpod propulsion mechanism, (Dreamcast)hold up on
the D-pad and then rapidly tap the A button, or (Playstation)hold up on the D-pad
and rapidly tad the X button. This should lift you high off the ground and give
you access to hard to reach places or otherwise impossible to reach places.

       Load your saved game into the controller two and begin a two player game.
The passwords will be disabled. Save the current game onto the previously saved game

       Do the above code.

Old Levels:   System: Playstation

       While playing a level, remove the V8:2 CD and insert the original Vigilante 8
game CD. After the system reads the disk it should display "V8 Levels Enabled". If
you don't have the original game use the code listed below.

-------------------
10.) Known Glitches
-------------------

       Here's a list of those annoying but sometimes helpful game errors.

1.) Freeze Central:   System: Dreamcast/Playstation
       Classification: Bad
       - Yes, unfortunately, just like in the original, this game is prone to
       freezing. Any vehicle can freeze at any time but the codes BLAST_FIRE and
       RAPID_FIRE cause a substantial increase in the chance of a freeze. It almost
       always freezes Convoy and Garbage Man on the Dreamcast.

2.) Fake Walls:   System: Dreamcast
       Classification: Depends
       - There are many walls in this game that can be penetrated. Agent Chase is
       the one who can go through them all.

3.) Flying Dead:   System: Dreamcast
       Classification: Funny
       - On the Launch Site level, if you have the MORE_SPEED code on and you kill
       someone and their burning vehicle gets pushed to the edge of the level, then
       they will be sent flying back on shore and then right back out to where they
       where and just continue back and forth till it explodes.

4.) Suicidal Boogie?:   System: Dreamcast
       Classification: Good
       - Whenever you are playing against Boogie, sometimes he just blows up when you
       aren't around and for no apparent reason with full health. I don't know why
       but I haven't seen it happen on the new levels, only old ones.

5.) Sight Problem?:   System: Dreamcast
       Classification: Bad
       - If you are on the Launch Site level with Convoy and use the Makeshift Rocket
       level trick with your trailer still on, when you land the view will be the
       one when the trailer isn't attached but it still is. Therefore the trailer
       blocks the entire screen.

6.) No Damage Meteor:   System: Dreamcast <Submit by GameMaStar>
       Classification: Funny
       - Go to the Meteor Crater level with 2 people and destroy that blasted
       Observatory. Have the other person sit in the middle of the huge crater. When
       the fatty meteor comes crashing down it'll, hit you on the head and send you
       flying up in the air for a rough ride through it. It doesn't hurt u either.

7.) Super Speed:   System: Dreamcast, Playstation <Submit by GameMaStar>
                                                 <Edit by Brandon B.>
       Classification: Depends, Mostly Funny
       - In almost in any event that you hit the "wall" that is outside the scenarios,
       if u hit them with enough force you will be sent flying all over the map and
       into the polygons. This is a disturbing glitch because your car will look
       severely mutated and the wheels will actually fall off the car. Temporarily of
       course, they will reattach themselves.

8.) Ghost Wheels:   System: All <Submit by GameMaStar>
       Classification: Funny
       - When you are in the car selection screen, highlight Tsunami in her 1st
       chassis or the Marathon. When the car hits the ground the wheels will jut
       through the car for a second.

9.) Floating Missile Rack:   System: All <Submit by GameMaStar>
       Classification: Funny
       - If you look closely at the wonderwagon then you will notice that the
       missiles don't quit touch the car.

10.) The Big Red and White Car Umbrella:   System: All <Submit by GameMaStar>
       Classification: Funny and Bad
       - Launch yourself in the Launch Site level with hoverpods. When you are about
       to land try to keep yourself as high as possible. If done correctly the
       parachute won't disappear. You can drive around with it till it freezes your
       game.

11.) Smashed Rocket Transport:   System: Dreamcast
       Classification: Funny, maybe Bad
       - After you launch the rocket on the Launch Site level, Destroy the transport
       before it manages to get back to where it started. It should sink into the
       ground and continue on till it reaches it's stopping point. When it gets there
       it just sits there and blocks you from the item that appears there. It has
       been reported that this has frozen a game, but currently isn't known for sure.

12.) Cammera Mayhem v.1:   System: Nintendo 64 <Submit by Anggiarto>
       Classification: Bad
       - In the Launch Site level, before we perform the launching the rocket, hold
       the REAR VIEW button and enter the tunnel when the light is green. In orbit,
       your camera will mess up.

13.) Cammera Mayhem v.2:   System: Nintendo 64 <Submit by Aggiarto>
       Classification: Bad
       - In the Meteor Crater, destroy the observatory to summon the giant meteor.
       Before it lands, stop in the middle of the crater and the vehicle will be
       sent very high into the air. Then, destroy the meteor and the mutant ant
       inside. Repeat the process and the camera should have been changed.

14.) Incomplete Destruction:   System: Nintendo 64 <Submit by Aggiarto>
       Classification: Funny
       - Play as Garbage Man in the Launch Site and set the damage setting to high.
       Select a heavy-armored vehicles such as Livingston, Burro Bus, etc, etc....
       Destroy the vehicles with two hit of the special BUT before you unleash the
       the second special lure one of them to the sea and unleash it while you drag
       them to the sea and fall. When you appear at the tunnel you'll see the vehicle
       following you from the back. The vehicle hasn't turn into the scrap metal but
       it's dead. It doesn't work all the time though and it's very difficult to do.

15.) Padre's Serect Getaway:   System: All <Submit by Brandon B.>
       - In the Alaska area if you have the Goliath Halftrack and you knock off your
       opponent over the boundary, and you do your special as soon as he flies over
       the boundary and if you do it right then you will end up in a secret area.
       There is nothing here but just barren land.  In order to get out you must do
       your special.  If you do not have any specials then just right next to the
       cliff until you hit water.

Version Review: The N64 and DC are realy putting the hurt on the PSX. The only

       N64 games. The DC version does still the show though. Just can't ignore all
       that the DC holds compared to the N64. Also the N64 does have its own problems
       because of it being a CD based game dragged through a carterage.
