Originalna navodila --------------------- Sbugetti Junction ----------------- Trainee-traffic cop Louigi is on the loose. He still thinks he's sur le contignon. Its megapile-up time unless you take control. The Game: Louigi has come over from Macaroni to learn the Breetish way of traffic control. Trouble is, he's used to driving on the other side of the road. He has to get lots of cars through each type of junction to pass the test and then he can return home to his wife, Fettucinee. He's definately having trouble though. Keep the traffic waiting and he gets aggro, and don't let oncoming traffic go like that... ps: it's against the clock as well. Controls: You control the direction which Louigi faces and his arms. To make things easy for Louigi and difficult for you, you can change the driving from UK to European. You use three keys: 1 = Left, 2 = right and 0 = up/down. Joystick Kempston/Sinclair/cursor. Choose the level of difficulty from light/heavy/ rush hour traffic. You move to the next junction when you have got all the traffic through the junction without crashing or waiting to long.

Simple — buy three million of zese hideous orange cones and cover any road with the prefix 'M' with the flippin' things so that it's impossible to move anyway. But seriousty though.Louigi has a pretty tough task on his hands cos the Brit drivers don't want to be kept waiting too tong or our lovable Louigi will lose his job. Stage 1 is pretty simple as long as you keep the traffic floving as quickiy as possible. Stage 2 has beaten me every time so far, cos in that level Louigi has to turn around to control the traffic, and that's where it gets nasty. There are three levels to the game,light,heavy or even rush hour traffic (not recommended for those with weak bladders). On top of that you can also choose whether you want to play the British or European versions of the game, (in the European version the cars drive on the wrong side of the road, some even drive backwards (probably the italians), which makes for interesting game play). A very simple idea that's been well executed — even if stage 1 is a mite boring. Just-a one Sbugetti, give it-a to me!!

Louigi Pepperoni is a trainee traffic cop on loan from sunny Itaty to find out how the British manage to have less accidents on their roads than their hot-blooded companions in Rome. Although Louigi has had quite a bit of training, his performance is still a bit shaky. Now in Britain to further his training, he's been turned loose on an unsuspecting public to direct the traffic in a busy street. Louigi has to get large numbers of vehicles through certain junctions safely and without any unsightly pile-ups. If he manages to pass the tests set him, he can progress to the next junction and so on until he is a fully fledged traffic policeman who knows what he's doing. Once Louigi has achieved this status he can return home to Itaiy and become reunited with his voluptuous wife, Fettucinee. Louigi directs the traffic by way of a number of hand signals which you control by pressing the relevant keys. Each section of traffic has to be property co -ordinated and each vehicie sent where it's supposed to go. Miscalcutation in this area causes large accidents and Louigi's life may also be in danger from a mis-directed car. It's not just the continentals who get hot under the collar and shout a lot when driving. According to Sbugetti Junction, the British can get quite stroppy too. If Louigi keeps the lines of cars watting too long then he'll be in for a bit of aggro... The game is played against the clock. Louigi has five minutes in which to complete each junction. If the cars are kept waiting then they start to beep him, and if they beep Louigi too much for too long them the game-a is-a prematurely-a terminated, or as we say in English, it's curtains for Louigi. There are three levels to the game. Louigi can choose whether he wants to direct light, heavy, or if he's feeling particutarty ambitious, rush hour traffic. Louigi is actualy over in Britain to learn about our traffic rutes, but if you feel like doing a bit of traffic controlling au continent, then there's a European option in the game where all the cars drive on the right hand side of the road. Points are awarded for cars correctly navigated across the Junctions with the current high score shown below for you to try and beat. Please try to help Louigt control the traffic successfully so that he can return to the land of Pasta and motzerella, and be reunited with his estranged wife and his bambinos which he a-misses so-a much-a. "Hmmm. I'm not at all impressed with this one. One game was enough to tell me that it won't appeal to anyone. The graphics are shoddy and small, but some of them are nicely detailed. The use of colour is a little garish but there are only a few attribute problems. The game plays very slowly and it is hard to amass high scores on the lower levels so it gets very very monotonous after a short time. Controling your man is not as easy as it could be — in fact for the first few goes it is almost impossible. After a white it does get a little easier, though, as does the whole game. Even with its cheapo price tag I wouldn't recommend this game." "Sbugetti Junction is great apart from one thing—the game. The loading screen is great and the inlay pictures look impressive, but the game is very boring and repetitive. I found that Sbugetti Junction nonsisted of two junctions; one easy and one impossible: this didn't help matters at all. The graphics are very neatly and clearly drawn but, due to them being all the same colour and the traffic controller being very small, none of them seem to really catch the eye. I also had some suspicions about the legality of the hand signals that the traffic would obey. Sbugetti Junction is certainly original, but whether you would come back to the game after a few months is very unlikely." "If you've always wanted to be a traffic cop, then I reckon Sbugetti Junction will completely revert you. if this is a real portrayal of a traffic policeman's day, then I', surprised that any still exist! This game is, in a word, boring. Even in the 'rush hour' mode, there is very little to keep the eyelids open, and even less to keep you playing. Despite reasonable graphics, a passable tune, and even an acceptable amount of playability, Sbugetti Junction is one game that I will certainly not be coming back to, because I know that within five minutes, I'll have switched it off."
