history

Make Trax (c) 1981 Kural Electric.

Time to take up your paint brush and paint the town Red (or Green or Orange, or whatever color you happen to have on hand)! A pair of fish are out to stop you but you can roll over them at the overpass. There's other items that just try to mess up your paint job; you can run over these folks easily (if you catch them).

- TECHNICAL -

Main CPU : Z80 (@ 3.072 Mhz)

Sound Chips : Namco (@ 96 Khz)

Screen orientation : Vertical

Video resolution : 224 x 288 pixels

Screen refresh : 60.61 Hz

Palette colors : 16

Players : 2

Control : 4-way joystick

- TRIVIA -

Released in November 1981.

Licensed to Williams for manufacture and distribution.

This game is also known as "Crush Roller".

When you run the game for the first time, the default highscore table (FAR OUT PLAYERS) is empty (everything is set to 0 except the nickname which is set to KRL).

Tom Carver holds the official record for this game with 2,123,840 points.

Two bootlegs are known as "Paint Roller" and "Magic Brush".

- UPDATES -

Make Trax has a protection chip, Crush Roller doesn't. The code between the two is nearly identical, except that everywhere the protection code is located, code has been replaced with a couple of bytes to return the correct value and several NOP instructions (which do absolutely nothing).

- SCORING -

Painting floor : 10 points per unpainted or footprint/tiretrack/dropping messed segment.

Killing Fish : 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 and the maximum 9,000.

Each level starts with the lowest point scoring fish being increased by one. eg Level one starts at 50 points, level two with 100 points, and so on up to 9,000.

Capturing the creature/object messing up your paintwork : 1,000 points.

Finishing the Rack : 1,000 points X number of racks finished.
