RELEASE NOTES

Test Drive 4 lets you get behind the wheel of ten licensed cars, inclu-
ding 1969 and 1998 Corvette, 1969 Camaro, 1970 Chevelle, Shelby Cobra,
1998 Dodge« Viper, Plymouth« Hemi Cuda 426, TVR Cerbera, 1995 Nissan
300ZX, and Jaguar XJ220. Players can race through five exotic locales
featuring accurate recreations of real-world international locations:
San Francisco, Keswick in the English Lake District, Bern, Switzerland,
Kyoto, Japan and Washington, D.C. - all in a highly detailed driving
environment, including traffic and police chases. The PC version of the
game (unlike the Sony Playstation) includes a bonus track, letting you
race down the autobahn in Munich, Germany. PARADiGM brought you NFS2-SE,
so its only fitting that we bring you the next best racing simulation of
1997! Enjoy ...

Features:

~ Exotic Supercars Vs. Legendary Muscle Cars in Races Around the World.
~ 10 Licensed Vehicles: 5 Exotic SuperCars - 5 Legendary Muscle Cars.
~ Inter-activity with the driving environment.  If you can see it, you
can interact with it. Crowds disperse and run for cover as your car
screams through town, on-coming and cross traffic hazards, multiple
car police chases, leaves fly in the wind, water splashes as you
drive through it, newspapers are ripped off a news stand by your wake
as you pass by.
~ Superb graphics for an incredible driving experience! If you own a
3dfx card, d/l our AddOn. 2D graphics don't do the game justice and
the difference is huge! But for those of you still stuck in the pre-
cambrian era, the 2D gameplay is still fun, just not as visually
appealing.

Ripped:

~ Non-English Language Files.
~ Opening TD4 MPEG Intro (No Big Deal).

Installation:

Run INSTALL.EXE to decompress.  Be sure to extract to the same direc-
tory that you installed the 2D release into. You do NEED the 2D release
in order to play the 3dfx game. Then run "3.EXE" to play 3dfx or "2.EXE"
to play 2D. So in the root directory you should have:
X:\TD4\2.EXE   X:\TD4\3.EXE   X:\TD4\README.DOC   X:\TD4\COMMON\
X:\TD4\PC\     X:\TD4\3DFX\

NOTE: BE SURE TO SELECT ENGLISH AS THE LANGUAGE YOU PLAY WITH OR IT WILL
SHOOT YOU BACK TO THE OS.
