Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This off-road racing game puts players behind the wheel of Ivan Stewart's specialized Toyota desert truck to tackle the legendary and grueling Baja 1000. Players must navigate nearly 1,000 miles of treacherous terrain, including blistering deserts, mountain plateaus, and dry lake beds, in a bid to survive and win the world's most prestigious off-road race.
Story
The Baja 1000
Apparently, as far back as the 1940's and 50's there were some American lunatics who liked to drive the length of the Baja Peninsula before there was any organized race. In 1962, Bud Ekins piloted his motorcycle from Tijuana to La Paz in 39 hrs 56 minutes. This was the first sprint that was documented.
Consequently, a lot of folks then started trying to best Bud's time. Since these early days, Baja racing has grown into a big business with major manufacturers of off-road vehicles vying for the prestige of surviving (and hopefully winning) The Baja 1000.
The highway distance from Ensenada to La Paz is slightly over 900 miles and for many years the race has actually been only about 700 miles. For the official race's 25th anniversary, sponsored by SCORE/HDRA, in November 1992, the course was marked out for a torturous 1,000+ miles.
The Baja 1000 is the most prestigious off-road race in the world. It ranges all over the peninsula, starting in the quaint coastal resort of Ensenada. The racecourse winds through nearly 1,000 miles of blistering, hot and dusty deserts, mountain plateaus, forests, fields of giant cactus and hard, flat, dry lake beds where the landmarks have names like Diablo, Seco and Martir.
About every four years the final destination is La Paz, where drivers from all corners of the world come to prove they can survive The Baja. Since 1967, The SCORE Baja 1000 has produced stories almost too wild to imagine. It's a different kind of motor race, probably because for the 500 or so participants, The Baja 1000 is a personal event to each of them.
For instance, one year a Frenchman named Jean Francois got stuck in a silt bed. All around him were mounds of dust covering the silent hulks of other vehicles that had been trapped in the same insidious powder. There wasn't another human to be seen on the horizon.
As he and his co-driver started to dig the car out, a small boy, about eight years old, seemingly came out of nowhere. He climbed onto the roof of the car to watch the digging. When they finished, the boy jumped off the roof into the silt and simply disappeared.
The racers looked around, but he had vanished completely! There are so many bizarre stories about this race that, over the years, it has become epic. The Baja 1000... it's no Sunday drive!
Ivan Stewart Biography
Since entering the world of off-road in 1971, Ivan Stewart has earned unparalleled honors, including winning 11 Baja 500's; 7 Mint 400's; 5 SCORE World Championships; 5 SCORE Driver of the Year awards; and 3 driver's titles and a record 14 main event victories in stadium off-road racing. In total, the California veteran has posted 68 racing victories in his 21 year career!
Ivan's passion for desert racing is evident through his list of accomplishments. Since his debut with Team Toyota in 1983, Stewart has been unstoppable in the desert, winning 6 Baja 500's, 5 Mint 400's, 2 Nevada 500's, 3 Gold Coast 300's and 4 SCORE World Championships!
In 1990, Stewart put his name in the record books when he piloted his V-6 powered Toyota truck to 6 victories, becoming the first truck driver in the history of the SCORE and HDRA series to earn both the "Overall" title and the "Unlimited Class" championships!
In addition to all of his record-breaking titles, Ivan has also become legendary because of his penchant for running The BAJA 1000, 15 hours of non-stop, dirt-churning, gravel grinding driving without a co-driver or a windshield!
"I'll tell ya," quipped Stewart, "when you go down to Baja, it's not really a race, and this may sound corny, but it's an adventure. I've loved it for more than twenty years!"

How to Play
Game Set-Up
The Game Set-Up Screen will appear every time you choose SET-UP from the main menu (Game Select). Use it to customize game play. Scroll up or down through the selections with the control pad.
Toggle the choices on each line with the A, B, X or Y buttons. The choices that are left on screen when you push START will be the parameters with which the game is played.
•
Difficulty: Choose from 3 levels of difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate or Expert) by using the control pad to illuminate "Difficulty" and the A, B, X or Y buttons to cycle through the levels.
•
Music: On or Off.
•
Player: Select 1 or 2. Both players in 2-Player mode must play at the same difficulty level.
•
Vehicle Color: Cycle through the 6 vehicle colors and select one. Player 2 may select one of the remaining 5 colors. All vehicles are equal at the start.
•
Player Initials: Cycle through the alphabet and select 3 initials. Move sideways from first to third initial with the control pad left-right lever.
Player Modes
•
One Player: Play against Ivan Stewart. Includes the complete field of drivers.
•
Two Player: Play against another person. Includes the complete field of drivers.
When you are driving in the 2-Player mode, Player 1 will run each leg alone. During Player 2's run, the "ghost image" of Player 1's vehicle will appear on the course. It will perform the same way it did during Player 1's run, including picking up bonus objects, when the "ghost vehicle" is visible on the screen.
Pre-Run
The Pre-Run option will allow you to check-out any of the first 4 legs of the race. Scroll through the legs using the Control Pad. When you find a leg you want to challenge, press START.
Your vehicle will then appear on the starting line of the selected leg. When you've finished your pre-run, the stats will come up. Push START and the Game Select screen will appear. You can then choose to start a race or pre-run another leg.
Leg Selection
There are 8 legs to The BAJA 1000. You can choose any of the first 4 segments to pre-run and you may pre-run as many times as you wish. In the 2-Player mode, both players must pre-run the same leg sequentially.
No matter which race you pick, you will be shown the LEG SELECTION screen where you'll see a map of Baja, the title of the next leg and Ivan's racing tip for the segment. If you've already run the entire race, you can toggle through the legs to re-run any one of them out of order. Hit START to begin.

The Pit Stop
Before each leg of a race, you will hit the PIT STOP. Here you will be able to outfit your vehicle for the particular hazards ahead.
The Pit Stop will not appear until after the first leg has been run by both players. Thereafter, you'll pull in before each leg. Get out quickly because the clock is running and adds unwanted seconds to your time. When you're finished, hit START to leave.

Earning Money
Besides earning Bonus Money at the end of a leg, you can also grab big bucks to use in the Pit Stop by nailing the money bags you will see along the racecourse. As you collect more bags, the amount of money in each will progressively increase.
You can also avoid spending your dollars on Nitros if you collect them along the racecourse.
Start the Race
Once you leave the Pit Stop, each leg will start automatically. You will see your vehicle at the start line, the flagman will wave the green flag and there will be 3 beeps. Stay on the road/path to keep your speed up and make the best time.
At the beginning of the first leg, you'll find yourself near the back of the pack. After that, your starting position is determined by your overall standing. Each vehicle starts the race a couple of seconds apart. Even though you may cross the finish line first, some of your opponents can still have quicker leg times.
