Introduction
____________

MultiRacer is a freeware racing game. Its main features are a split-screen
multiplayer mode for up to 4 players and a single player racing against
a ghost car.

Connect all joysticks and other game controllers before running the game
and do not disconnect them before exiting as this could cause problems.
The F12 (or Cmd/Ctrl-F12) key takes screenshots as *.tga files.
In Windows and Linux/Mac OS X the screenshots are saved in the pictures
directory and user's home directory, respectively. Keyboard & game
controller configuration is available through menu item Controls. It is
possible to set mouse buttons as game controls as well, but then it is
recommended to run the game in fullscreen mode.
