INSTRUCTIONS
You should be able to see the following new things in this version: Sampled sound effects ripped from the arcade game; Sound effect for overtaking/being overtaken by opponent cars; Completed graphics for the start/finish line; Blimp/airship flying across screen at the beginning and end of qualifying; Caption on start/finish line moving between START/NAMCO/GOAL as per the arcade machine; Horizon flickering effect fixed for the most part; General bugfixes and some other stuff I've probably forgotten. I know there are still some annoying bugs but I'm now confident that this is getting close to being ready for a final release. Please let me know if you think otherwise!
