If you don't already know, there is a cheat code called GOLD that allows you to do some very interesting things. Read all about it here: <a href=http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Corridor/9018/gold.htm>GOLD mode and beyond</a>

In short: if you type GOLD, then press Ctrl-Y the game will pause and you can move your truck around in every imaginable way - including up, in fact I use this mode to literally fly around my own tracks. The keyboard configuration takes some getting used to though, to be able to move in a fluid manner.

There are a couple of small things I need to update on that GOLD mode webpage, but today my 5 year old nephew discovered something quite cool, so bear in mind he is the one who discovered this trick.


Once GOLD mode is active, when you press Ctrl-Y the game pauses and you can move your truck, when you press Ctrl-Y again the game resumes. An interesting phenomenon (hehe) is that the trucks retain their speed and directional momentum, so you could be barreling along, hit Ctrl-Y, move the truck, and then release and your truck will spring back into action but in the direction you have chosen.

As you know, the default in-game key "K" switches the viewing perspective to the computer trucks.

Well my five year old nephew discovered (btw, this was during his first session ever using the gold mode hack) that while in Ctrl-Y he could switch to the computer trucks using "K" and move them around as well!

What this means is that you can hit Ctrl-Y and reposition every truck before hitting Ctrl-Y again and resuming the race.

This can make for some interesting screenshots, and even for some interesting eight truck mid-air collisions Image

You wont believe this but I discovered that trick yesterday while I was making a pic for FE. I couldn't get the trucks lined up so they were all nicely arranged in the screen so I thought, why not try k. It worked.

Q. does gold mode work in multiplayer? That might be a way I can beat the quicker racers...just drop them back at the start line ;-)

That's a great utility WK! I've been messing with it all day wishing I could do the same thing using the mouse...oh well, back to the ole keyboard Image.

Well, today I was trying to take screen pics and wasn't having much success. For me, sometimes the gold mode can look too contrived. So, I set the driver level to rookie and started demo mode. The rookie trucks always stick together in a tigher pack than pro. Anyway, I used some of the gold mode tricks while my truck drove around all on it's own. I could concentrate on the shot instead of the driving. I found it very helpful.

Well, I hate to say this but I found out the K possibility as fast as your nephew (is this correct spelling;-)???), without the K both Gollypop and Rondat pictures would not be possible (especialy gollypop). Sorry for not telling you but I thought you knew ;-(
