INSTRUCTIONS Capture the thrills and excitement of international Grand Prix Cycling with TOUR DE FORCE. Can you master the techniques required to win each leg of the competition, defeating the champion riders and proceed through to the next country? As the action heats up, the going gets tougher — your opponents don't like to see you out in front, and by fair means or foul will try to hinder your progress. Experience the agony and ecstacy of international cycling as it really happens. HOW TO PLAY Your aim is to win each leg and score the greatest number of points. You must defeat the champion of each section before you can proceed to the next leg. Apart from the leg champs, there are five to ten other competitors in each leg. These cyclists may appear crazy at first, but gets more intelligent and cunning as you move up the ladder. At the right start of the game you have five cycles, and will be given an extra cycle for each 5000 points you score. The game is over when you have used all your cycles or if you finish a race behind the leader.
