Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a racing combat game where players customize vehicles with tuning, styling, and in-car entertainment systems to compete in underground races. Players take on the role of a covert operative tasked with infiltrating and dismantling a dangerous street racing cult by out-driving them. The game combines vehicle customization with high-stakes, weaponized racing.
Story
Tuning, Styling, and ICE
This scene is about three things: Tuning, styling, and ICE.
ICE means In Car Entertainment. This includes the size of your system and bass speakers the size of cannons.
Tuning is what goes on under the hood. Styling is what goes on the outside.
Cruise Patrol Burn Out, Burnley, UK, June 1997
The Morning Show, Daytime 5, 04/06/2407
Trudy will be taking a look at how to improve your ICE system without breaking the bank. There will be an easy-to-enter competition to win a customized car of your choice. Roddy Havro will be looking at summer recipes.

Transcript of Pertinent Conversation
•
4/6/2407- Transcript of pertinent conversation between several unknown parties at Mario's Chop House.
•
Introductory banter regarding women, cars and the size of various ICE systems has been omitted.
Speaker #1 (UK accent)
The ROLLCAGE thing is getting out of hand. It was always about three simple things: TUNING, STYLING and ICE.
It wasn't bad when it started to catch on, but now everyone is getting in on the act. They even did a piece about ICE on The Morning Show. Pritchard Vadely driving a maxed up motor was never in the script when the original ROLLCAGERS and ICERS started out.
Speaker #2 (Italian accent)
We all said that if any of that stuff happened, we would leave the scene.
Speaker #3 (German accent)
You are right, and we did leave. But five years is a long time to be away.
The on-board weapons management system is successfully chipped. The structure of the new kevlar polycarbonate shell is stable enough to make our vehicles granite hard, in short, indestructible. The time is right for us to come back into it.
Speaker #4 (2 synchronized Japanese voices)
Three hundred and sixty degrees no rules non-stop racing - bam bam - we come, we go, they too slow to know.
Speaker #5 (USA accent)
Maybe the new ROLLCAGE is about to be opened up.
Speaker #1 (UK accent)
Those bums from The Morning Show aren't going to have seen anything like it.

The Tonight Show, Daytime 10, November 2410
It was thought that there was an element of dissatisfaction when the ICE cult went 'overground'. What once was an underground movement had become a commercial commodity.
Large-scale burn outs sponsored by YO YO'S INSURANCE were hardly at the cutting edge of youth culture. This impression of having 'sold out' created the desire in an elite set of drivers to go one step further, to take the scene back underground.
This is perhaps why we are seeing the weapons and destruction come in. The police's risible efforts to stop tonight's racing suggest the ROLLCAGERS, who've been raising hell for 3 years now, will be around for considerably longer.

RE: ROLLCAGERS
Message from Head of Intelligence
Having read your frustrating transmissions over the last three years and witnessed your singular lack of a conviction, I have had no choice but to take the following course of action.
I have secured the services of an internationally proven covert operative. He has been briefed to set up a series of races against the ROLLCAGERS on behalf of our government. His objective is to destroy their racing confidence and prevent further civil disturbance.
Whether he will succeed is purely dependent on his driving skills. As he is an ex-racing driver with a record number of Drivers' Championships to his credit, I am supremely confident in his ability to do just that.
You will find below a dossier that he has compiled on the suspects. This is for your information only. As of now, you are suspended from this operation and must await a new briefing.

Await new briefing.

Enemies & Characters
Lenny Hicks
Utterly ruthless, Lenny Hicks requires no more motivation than winning, and will often block or ram to do so. However, his competitive character does not allow him to accept defeat with anything approaching grace.
Leon Maneval
Beyond comparison in terms of ability, but lacks the mental toughness to approach difficult race situations with any clarity. During racing his judgement has a tendency to be clouded by his fierce temper.
Ria Simba
Ria Simba possesses of one of the fastest vehicles that I have ever had the pleasure to witness and her ability to control it at such high speeds is a testament to her racing skill. However, she has sacrificed strength for her love of speed and it is this weakness that I will concentrate upon.
Lothar Maier
Immensely talented driver and one of the initiators of the new violent breed of Rollcagers. Uses weapons with unerring accuracy.
Jet & Tetsuo
A difficult team to analyze given that their driving style is a reflection of both their personalities. This gives rise to an inconsistent style depending on which sibling asserts their personality most forcibly at any given time.
Tony Richards
Quite simply, Tony Richards is an unsophisticated thrill seeker with very little subtlety when it comes to driving. What he lacks in guile, however, he compensates for with brute force preferring to go through, rather than around, any obstacles.

•

TIME ATTACK MENU
Go up against the clock to beat your lap-time records in Time Attack Mode. Choose your Rollcage venue from the famous four listed below:
•
NEOTO CITY is a sprawling neon-washed urban complex, complete with imposing skyscrapers and an intricate street network.
•
SAPHIRE SPRINGS is a mountainside course, where nature and industry forge an uneasy alliance.
•
HARPOON ISLANDS is a scenic coastal paradise, where the rich and famous pamper themselves and the sun beats down all day.
•
OUTWORLD on the perimeter of the fledgling Martian colony is the newest Rollcage venue. Rollcage always was an out-of-this-world kind of sport!
While Rollcage cars can take all sorts of punishment, most of the trackside features are destructible and this is one thing all Rollcage venues share in common. The spectacle of a building's weak point being pummeled by a car and then crumbling down onto the track and onto the chasing pack has to be seen to be believed.
Once you have selected your venue, you must choose a Rollcage course from the thirteen available tracks. Then press the button to access the Driver Menu.

Items & Weapons
HOMING MISSILE
The homing missile locks on to structural weaknesses and is very useful for destroying trackside buildings. Alternatively, use the up directional button to target the vehicle in front and flip it out of control.
DRILLER
The driller will bore through numerous consecutive targets, causing devastating explosions, and eventually expire when it hits an indestructible object.
TIME WARP
While you speed along as usual, your competitors' cars will have their engine power cut and their speed radically reduced.
ICE SHEET
Put the skids under the opposition by firing electro-ice. Any vehicle caught in the ice sheet will lose 80% of its tire friction.
TURBO
Go turbo and feel the g-force. Extra speed for those who need it.
