THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO USE, RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PACKAGE IS ASSUMED BY YOU AND IF THE PACKAGE SHOULD PROVE TO BE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR OTHER REMEDIATION. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, CAN THE AUTHOR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED IN ANY USUAL, SPECIAL, OR ACCIDENTAL WAY, ALSO IF THE OWNER OR A THIRD PARTY HAS BEEN POINTED AT SUCH POSSIBILITIES OF DAMAGE. This install applies to "Revs", an unofficial Amiga port of the 1985 BBC Micro Formula 3 racing simulation by Geoff Crammond, published by Acornsoft. It is the "Revs Plus Revs 4 Tracks" release: Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Oulton Park and Snetterton, plus the Nurburgring. Requirements: ------------- This install requires WHDLoad version 17.0 or better and a PAL Amiga with at least 2 MB of RAM. The installed program uses 400 KB ChipMem and 768 KB OtherMem. The game also requires an A500 Kickstart 1.3 image named "kick34005.A500" in "Devs:Kickstarts". It can be extracted from an A500 with GrabKick or a similar tool. The matching relocation file "kick34005.A500.RTB", found in the Aminet archive "util/boot/skick346.lha", must be placed in the same directory. Without WHDLoad the game runs from Workbench or a Shell on any PAL Amiga with Kickstart 1.3 or better, a 68000 or better, 512 KB ChipMem and 512 KB of other memory. It then needs the disc image (see below) as "revs.ssd" next to it. Shell users on Kickstart 1.3 must change to the game's drawer first. Installation: ------------- The install does not include the original game. Before running it, download either of these BBC Micro disc images from bbcmicro.co.uk: Revs Plus Revs 4 Tracks: https://www.bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=2203 DiscA15-RevsPlusRevs4Tracks.ssd, SHA-256 d014b19d58e5bb1616b8a5ab089c8f27d31d1b37f9bd7d78b936367cf4725afd Revs+ [hack]: https://www.bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=4179 DiscA16-RevsHack.ssd, SHA-256 571f6dede00c702917e94cda2cca28245ef4fb30e41df81c806a8729de9e0792 If the download is a ZIP archive, extract the .ssd file from it first. Run the Install icon and, when asked for the disc image, select the .ssd file. Its filename does not matter: the installer copies it to the game drawer as "revs.ssd". Both images are 204800 bytes and carry the same game engine; the circuits are built into the port, so either one gives all six. When updating an existing installation, the installer offers to keep the disc image that is already installed, and then does not ask for the file again. The game checks the disc image when it starts and reads the engine from it. If the check fails, make sure the file is one of the two images above and not another version of Revs (the 1985 single-circuit and "Revs 4 Tracks" discs carry an older engine and are not supported). Controls: --------- The keys are the BBC Micro's: L and ; steer (or the cursor keys), S is the throttle and A the brake (or up and down), Q and Tab change gear, T is the starter and Space fine steering. SHIFT+F2 selects mouse steering, where the right mouse button accelerates, the left one brakes and the middle one changes gear. The other SHIFT+function key commands are as in the original manual, with the BBC's f0 on F10 and COPY (pause) on Help. Quitting: --------- The game can be quit by pressing CTRL-Q, immediately and without confirmation, at any point in the game. The WHDLoad QuitKey (keypad "*", key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=") works only on a 68010 or better. F10 is not the QuitKey, because it is a game key. History: -------- version 0.90 (30.09.2026): - initial release Credits: -------- Revs was written by Geoff Crammond and published by Acornsoft in 1985. Amiga port by Vesuri. Contact: -------- If you have problems with this installation please try and get a newer version of this package from the WHDLoad WWW-Page. If that doesn't help try some Tooltypes like NOCACHE, NOAUTOVEC, EXPCHIP, NOMMU or PAL. If that also fails, please inform the author via the Bug-Report-Form which can be accessed on the WHDLoad WWW-Page.
