Screamer 2 - Time Attack 'ghost' car missing

5 posts by 4 people · 15 Jan 1997 - 18 Jan 1997

Any idea why I don't get to race against my previous best 'ghost' car as it says in the manual ? I have the option enabled in the 'Option' console, but I don't get to see the it. I only have a 486DX4/100 with 8Mbytes. Could this be something to do with it ? John -- John Hartridge | Crosfield Electronics Ltd, ext 3282 | Three Cherry Trees Lane,

i.e. I think it only works in Time Attack mode, and not in any of the other modes of play. baz
i remember seeing it working. choose 'Time Attack', which then gives you the choice of 'free run' and '3 laps', if i remember correctly. if u choose '3 laps' and *complete all 3 laps* then i'm sure the ghost car shows up the next time you do another 3 lap time attack. afaik it'll be following your previous laps, not your 'best' lap. dont think so! ;) bazzzza.
: I only have a 486DX4/100 with 8Mbytes. Could this be something to do : with it ? Screamer 1 needed 16MB for the ghost car to work properly. I'm not sure about the ghost car in Screamer 2, but I do know that 8 MB won't give you: high res/high color, extra sounds and graphics, or even a replay! Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

The 8mb may well be something to do with it although I'm not sure. The original Screamer didn't let you have the ghost car in time-attack if you had less than 12mb... Alan Head Screamer 2 homepages: http://www.feature.demon.co.uk/games.htm -----------------------------------------
