Ford Simulator II

The second installment in the series represents the advertisement of the
Ford’s 1990 product line and consists of five sections.

DRIVING SIMULATOR

Customizing the controls (i.e. using the keyboard, mouse, or joystick and
related functions), sound, level of difficulty and type of driving, you may
select the game of your choice from three different driving events: Test
Track, City Challenge, or Back Roads.

Test Track event is divided on Drag Strip (you have to drive straight shifting
the gears up as smooth as possible), Amoeba Track (you have to drive as fast
as possible on the whirly track), Obstacle Course (you have to drive as fast
as possible on the whirly track avoiding as much pylons as you can).

City Challenge takes place in Airport, Shopping Center, and Downtown. Each
place is a whirly road with other cars in your way.

Back Roads have three distances: 5 miles, 10 miles, and 15 miles. They are
also whirly tracks with the trucks.

During gameplay you should drive in first-perspective view behind the wheel of
the Simulator Car (S.C.). There are three levels of difficulty to choose from:
Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Running off the road or hitting an object
at the Intermediate and Advanced levels disqualifies you from the game. Also
most of the events require manual gear shifting on Intermediate and Advanced
levels and automatic one on Beginner level.

Finishing the track, you may see the results such as your average speed, the
number of avoided obstacles, and the score you earned. The score is calculated
dynamically on the basis of difficulty level.

ELECTRONIC SHOWROOM

vehicle you have chosen.

spreadsheet”. The Buyer’s Guide information may be printed out.
