   --- "K"?
       "K" runs on standard Falcon, with every kind of TV or screen (RGB, SVGA)
       It also runs fine on boosted Falcons (Every accelerating cards, ...).
       You simply have to install the game on your harddisk and to run KART.TOS

   ---- HOW TO PLAY "K"?

   Rush  and  win! "K" is a racing game, so there's only one way to win! You'll
get several means to achieve it, such as options, weapons, and so one, ...
   You can control your machine using the keyboard ( DOWN reverse or brake,
>, <, UP or SHIFT accelerates, CONTROL actives collected otion and ALTERNATE
make your machine jump!), or using the joystick (FIRE make you jump).

   On   the  tracks,  two  specially  colored  circular plates allow to collect
options or accelerate the machine! Let differenciate these 2 important kinds of
plate!    *;-)
   NOTE:  If  you  collect  an  option  by  running  over  a  bonus-plate,  the
option-screen will activate: It'll show the kind of option you picked up (Random
option).  This option  will  still  stocked untill you press the CONTROL key to
active it. Then, and only after that, you'll be able to pick up another one...
   The other panels imbeded in the dashboard are so easy to understand that we
let you discover them.

   The speed of the machine depends on the type of surface: Sand, water, snow,
green, and  s.o.  will slow it down. Walls stop the car, but, a few of them can
be jumped over (Jumping can be very usefull for skillfull drivers!).

   MORE KEYS:  Press  1  or  2  (near  the  ESC  key)  to skip or activate the
landscape  scroller  in  the background (By the way, multiscrolling). This will
increase the number of images per second.
   If  the  unlikely  idea  of leaving the game reach your mind, then press the
ESCAPE key... Everybody needs to sleep.
