This game is dedicated to Nada & Michael Harrison, Colleen & Trevor Siegele, without whose support Powerslide would never have been made. Jim Perkins, Mike Bartholemew, Todd Colletti and Dave Adams whose confidence in Ratbag and Powerslide inspired many.
Early in the 21st century, the ozone layer disintegrated. Surprise! As the price of sunscreen skyrocketed, any species not turning a profit in the global marketplace soon found themselves unable to pay for UV protection. Bees, flies, and all the other creepy-crawlies got their sensitive eyes fried. No bees, no pollination. No pollination, no crops. No crops, starving humans. Starving humans, global war. It would have made a great movie, but the entertainment market is in recession, owing to the 99% decrease in consumers.
Anyway, after all the famines, fighting and nuclear fallout, after six billion people bowed out of the human comedy, what was left of humanity’s dross and scum clung tenaciously to life on the earth’s scorched surface.
Underground, away from the burning sun, wealthy corporations formed huge cities and began a new existence. Like human termites, they now live in totalitarian conditions, each performing their role in the hive. Comfortable but caged, these corporations have a very middle-class obsession with cleanliness and order, almost as if to deny the calamity that they caused above ground. On the surface, feral and feudal clans slave, sweat, fry and die under the ultra-violet radiation. Unaffectionately referred to as ‘upside fry-babies’ by the Corporates, they barely manage to eke out their barbarous existence, imperiled by pollution, pestilence and plague.
The decimation of billions of people is tragic, but the cars they left behind are an entertainment opportunity too good to refuse. Now, lawless gangs of feral joyriders race through deserted streets and countryside, docklands, sewers, and multi-level parking lots. Slapping together grunt machines of awesome power, they have become known as Powersliders.
Until recently, Powersliding was an illicit venture for an abusive and exclusive bunch of psychotic motor lunatics. Although it started as an exclusively feral pursuit, and banned by most Corporations, a bunch of Corporate rebel racers have recently joined the action and brought their radical new technology to the contest.
In a bitter irony, one of the only forms of vegetation to thrive in the ultraviolet ray-ravaged and hopelessly polluted landscape is the brussel sprout. Fruit has become a prize so rare that dozens have fought and died for the sake of a single bunch of bananas.
The glittering prize, the tantalizing impetus that inspires the drivers to feats of suicidal danger, is the obscenely rich trophy that Powersliding offers: Fresh Fruit.

The name you enter on this screen will show up in highscore tables and multiplayer chat screens. To enter your name, type up to ten letters/numbers on your keyboard and hit <enter>. To change your name later, you can access this screen through the options menu.
If you’re ultra smart or ultra impatient or just want to cut to the race, enter your name and go straight to the "race" button on the main menu. The game will select the car, track, character and level of difficulty for you.
The main menu bar appears across the bottom of your screen. There are six options on the main menu bar:
You can access any of these areas during the pre-game and post game periods. On the initial ‘mode’ screen select single player or multiplayer.
Initially you must choose the Novice difficulty level. As you win your way through the Championships you will be able to access the higher levels of difficulty. If you select Championship mode, the level of difficulty will determine which Championship you race. In other race modes, like Single Race the level of difficulty will determine the how good your AI competitors are.
There are three different race modes in Powerslide:
There are four levels of Powerslide Championships. Each level is made up of a predefined number of tracks and group of opponents. You can win a Championship by accumulating more points than your opponents over the series of races. This means you don’t have to win every race to win a Championship, you just have to do better overall than all of your opponents.
More tracks are unlocked after you win Novice and Advanced Championships. More cars are unlocked after you’ve won the Advanced and the Expert Championships.
The Championship levels available to you will be highlighted. The object of the game is to win the Expert Championship. If you’re a real psycho (glutton for punishment), you can try out the Insane Challenge.
You cannot win championships or set records if you have cheats turned on, or if you are using the supercar.
The Championships are made up of the following tracks:
| Novice Championship | ||
| Track | Length | Opponents |
| Sand Blaster | Medium | average |
| Speedway | Very short | average |
| Dam Track | short | average |
| Advanced Championship | ||
| Track | Length | Opponents |

Since the Tracks are predefined in a Championship, you can’t select tracks in this mode.
Car selection
Select the car icon in the main menu bar to access the car
selection options.
You have four cars to choose from when you start out Powersliding. You can choose from the sophisticated corporate vehicles, which run on a newly developed fuel, or the feral grunt machines, which still burn good old gasoline. The corporate cars are the Orc and the Sabre, the feral machines the Big Heaver and the Warthog.
Powerslide cars use true physics and perform differently in different environments, so you should experiment with all of them to determine which car gives you the best performance on each track.
When racing a Championship, you won’t be able to change cars between races. You’ll have to race the one car for the entire Championship.
If you win the Advanced Championship, you’ll unlock two more cars. When you win the Expert level you get the Supercar – but can you handle that much power?
Character Selection
After selecting a car, you can choose which character you
want to play. Each car can be driven by a number of different
racers. You can distinguish between them on the track by each
character’s distinctive paint job. Check out character
profiles by clicking on the option below the character list which
allows you to view character by profile.
There are 32 drivers in the Powerslide competition. You will only be able to see the drivers in the Championship divisions you’ve won access to. As you win more Championships you will gain access to the descriptions of more drivers.
Transmission Selection
Select automatic or manual and the screens will advance to
the starting grid layout.
Starting Grid
This screen tells you who your opponents are and where they
are on the starting grid.
Single race
If you choose Single Race you will need to select a
track to race as well as a car to race in.
Track selection
When the game begins, you have access to three tracks. As you
win different Championship levels, more tracks will become
available to you.
Powerslide lets you drive anywhere you want in the environment. You can stick close to the tracks or you can drive off and explore, maybe find a faster line, or an area for stunts – you never know what might be around that next corner. You’ll get different traction on different surface types, so expect some sliding and spinning out on the ice and mud!
After you have chosen a track, you will advance to the car selection screens.
Time Trial mode lets you practice on a track without opponents. You can’t set any lap records in this mode, but you can get a feel for the tracks and figure out how to really nail those corners. Select the track, car and character just like you do in Single Race mode.
You get one last race mode in Powerslide. In handicap mode, depending on exactly how fast you think you are, you can opt to give the rest of the field a head start. Select handicap mode from the options menu. Choose Race Options, and handicap delay appears in the menu on the left of screen. Choose the number of seconds head start you’ll give the field. You can give a maximum of 9 seconds.
The following options are located in the options menu.
Graphics
If you are a total speed freak, you can turn off some of the
graphics features to make your game run faster. You should be
aware that the game will not look as good.
The game will default to the driver you have installed on your computer. There are four driver options:
For each driver there are a number of options which can be turned on or off.
Each driver allows you to change the screen resolution. Having a lower resolution may help the game to run faster.
For Glide2 and Banshee drivers, you can also turn the particles and the shadows off. For some 3Dfx cards using Glide 2 and Banxhee Drivers, you will be given the option of turning Specular Highlights on or off.
For software drivers there are other options you can turn on or off.
If you turn scanline interleaving on, only every second scanline will be drawn. This may make the game faster, but will definitely affect the look of the tracks and cars.
If you turn double buffering off, the game may go faster, but you may also see some tearing in the images.
Using the letterbox option will give you a wide-screen version which takes up less space on your screen.
Turning off track lighting and car lighting will give you a speed boost, but the tracks and cars will appear flatter.
For Direct 3D, if you have more than one device installed you will be able to select which one you wish to use.
The options include particles and shadows and a choice of filtering between Bilinear (smooth), Trilinear (smoother), Bilinear mipmapping (which uses lower detail textures in the distance) and Point.
Sound
You can change the following settings for sound by
highlighting and selecting either
You can alter the volume, using the slider provided. One slider is for sound effects, one for music. Adjust the slider using the arrows next to the slider box.
To change the music you hear on each of the race tracks, highlight the race trackname, and the music track number will show in the box at the bottom of the screen. To change the music, cycle through the available music tracks using the arrow buttons. You can listen to the music you have selected by hitting the ‘play’ button on screen.
Input device selection and configuration
Controller Options
Select Input devices from the Options sub-menu. The keyboard
option appears in the top left corner of the screen. Use the
arrows next to it to scroll through to Mouse or
Joystick/Wheel/Joypad.
The possible actions are listed on the left, and the assigned key/button/axis on the right.
Keyboard
In keyboard configuration, select the assigned key you

telling you to press a key to reassign to this action.
If that particular key is unavailable because it is already assigned, you will be given a warning message at the bottom of the screen.
Mouse
In mouse configuration you will not be able to change
the left/right action, as these are assigned to the mouse.
Joystick/wheel/joypad
The top four options in this screen are assigned to
various axes. To change these press a key or mouse button to
assign it to an action, or move the joystick in that direction,
or press a joystick button. You then need to press <Enter>
to confirm your choice.
The bottom three cannot use an axis, and so you are only required press the key/mouse button/joystick button to assign an action.

laps, total race time, and current gear. You can turn the
dashboard on or off using the F1 key. If turned off you will get
full screen racing.
There is a relative position indicator which can be turned off separately to the dashboard (using the F3 key). On this indicator your car remains stationary and other racers’ position relative to you is shown by moving .
Rear View Mirror
You can choose to turn the rear view mirror on or off. Having
it on will affect graphics performance. It can be toggled in-game
using the F4 key.
Directional Arrow
The arrow that indicates which was the track ahead turns can
be turned off. You can toggle this on and off using the F2 key.
Number of opponents
In single player mode, the game will default to seven AI
opponents. You can choose to race against more or less opponents
in a Championship, and Single Race. You race against no opponents
in Time Trial. Set the number of opponents by using the arrows
next to the number display.
The number of opponents affects graphics performance. If you choose more cars the game may run more slowly.
Change Name
You can change the name you entered at the start of the
game using this screen. Type in the name you wish to use and hit
<enter>. This name will be shown on the highscore table,
leader board and Championship tables as well as recorded for any
race records, fastest laps and trophies.
Trophy Fridge
Every time you win a Championship, win it in a new car,
come first in every race in a Championship, beat a Ratbag record
or come last in every race, you’ll get another piece of
fruit for your fridge.

Cheats
Cheat codes are hidden around most of the tracks. You
get a cheat code for winning the Novice and Advanced
Championships. If you want a real challenge you can earn a
different cheat code each time you win the Expert or Insane
Championships using a different car.
To use a cheat code just type it in while racing. To apply the cheat again or toggle it on and off use the cheat toggle key or button. To switch rapidly between previously entered cheats use the numbered keys "0" – "9". Note that some cheats will alter the function of your steering wheel, accelerator, brake, handbrake, and gear change as well as requiring use of the cheat toggle key. Some cheats affect your car only and some cheats affect other cars. Feel free to experiment and see what you can do. You can see a reminder list of the cheat codes you have discovered by choosing Trophies under the Options menu, and selecting "view cheats".
You cannot win championships or set records if you have cheats turned on, or if you are using the supercar.

table can be accessed through the Options menu.
Importing
and Exporting High Score Tables
You can swap high score tables with friends and other
players by choosing the import or export buttons on the bottom
left hand side of the screen. To export your high score table,
select the export option and type in the file name in the
dialogue box provided. To import a table, select the import
option and choose from the list of .hi score files that are in
