In STAR RIDER, for the first time ever in a driving game, the perspective of the roadway actually changes in response to sterring!\n\nThe DISCAN SYSTEM is the sophistication of totally computer-generated background images to allow the player to enter a never-before-visited world of fantasy.\n\nThe DISCAN SYSTEM is high resolution foreground images carefully designed to match the background for complete compatibility.\n\nThe DISCAN SYSTEM is a 3-channel sound system producing true stereo effects as well as front/rear sound separation creating an entire game environment.\n\nThe DISCAN SYSTEM is a highly reliable, industrial disc-player with exclysive modifications for unsurpassed system control.\n\nA: WIND SCREEN\nB: SCORE LOCATION\nC: REAR VIEW MIRROR\nD: SPEEDOMETER POSITION DISTANCE\nE: BRAKE\nF: TURBO\nG: POWER",

"alt": "The DISCAN SYSTEM is STAR RIDER, housed in an upright and fantastic new motorcycle sit-on cabinet for total player involvement. The use of Wlliams' own duramold™ technology in the seeat as well as high-strength, impact-resistant ABS plastic for the front wheel and cowling mean styling that enhances play and durability. And the easily removable front wheel and cowling allow STAR RIDER to be placed even in limited-space locations.\n\nBoth models are complete with fully operational handlebars, a motorcycle-type throttle with constantly variable speed control, turbo button and 2-level brake. And both feature, for the first time ever, the incredible simulation of a rear-view mirror, providing an additional dimension and strategy of play! For the first time, a game can be played in front of and behind the player! The player can try to catch up to and pass the racers in front of him while blocking those coming up from behind.\n\nSTAR RIDER was born to go as far and as fast as possible. To race the stars. To discover strange and far-away planets that only vivid imagination and DISCAN SYSTEM visual effects could create. To race over roads that suddenly pithc straight up and lead to horizons that haunt and tempt. Through the fantasy worlds of \"Cubiania\", \"Hexagonia\", \"Crystallia\", \"Stalactica\" and others of surrealistic splendor and daring dimensions, each one setting a more challenging course than the last and each with its own special surprises!\n\n(The rest of the text on this page is contained on the next image)",

The shoulder of the road slows Star Rider to a dangerous cruise level and a total of three collisions either with competitors or obstacles means the end of the race. Each race starts and finishes in the \"Cosmodrome\", an outer space stadium, where the \"Robofficial\" announces the player's status and race results.\n\nLike Williams' other systems, DISCAN includes and incomparable game adjustment program to keep STAR RIDER a top-running game for all players in all locations. These game adjustments and detailed bookkeeping information are backed by a complete series of diagnostic tests that check entire electronic systems within a matter of minutes.\n\nWilliams.\nThe company.\nDISCAN SYSTEM.\nThe technology.\nSTAR RIDER.\nThe game.",
