Dukes of Hazzard - Racing for Home - PC
Hints:
------
* Click the M key to activate your rearview mirror at the beginning of
every mission, or you'll never know if your poor car control is a
result of the game's physics model and keyboard driving, or some
brutish rube's silent but annoying attempt to rear-end you.
* If you're trying to keep up with another car and have the opportunity
to pass it, do it. You'll undoubtedly be warned against it, but you'd
best ignore the warning because you need every speed advantage you
can get. Make sure to keep him in your rearview mirror in case he
takes an alternate route, though you'll know exactly where he's headed
in advance if you've driven the mission a couple of times.
* Keyboard driving is a distinctive skill. The best idea is to "feather"
the controls; tapping the steering and braking keys works much better
than holding them down.
Extra power-ups:
----------------
Collect a power-up, then leave that location and return. The power-up
will reappear and may be collected again. Note: The maximum number of
nitros that may be collected is five.
Keep Luke hanging out of the window:
------------------------------------
When Luke is hanging out of the window, you will need to go drive slower,
or he will go back inside the car. Likewise, if you hit anything hewill
go back inside.
Fastest car:
------------
The fastest car is the "Ace of Spades". It can be unlocked by completing
the game under any difficulty setting.
Hidden fairgrounds nitro:
-------------------------
A hidden nitro may be found at the fairgrounds on any mode. Get to the
point with two jumps and an orange fence. A nitro power-up can be seen
on the other side of the fence. Drive through the orange fence to collect
it.
Beating Black Jack:
-------------------
In Episode 7, Scenes 1, 2, and 3, you can go ahead of younger Black Jack,
but not too far. You can beat him to where he needs to go (listen to Luke
for when you need to turn).
Fairgrounds shortcut:
---------------------
There is a shortcut in the fairgrounds on any two player mode. The shortcut
is located towards the end of the lap. As soon as you start seeing the
audience, there is a small road on the right with a road block. You can
zigzag through the road block and use the ramps to jump over more of the
road blocks along the shortcut. It leads to the start/finish line.
The shortcut can also be used while racing the other cars.
Losing the police:
------------------
When chased by the police, you can cut them off by hitting them on the
back when they try to cut you off.
