Keep the Family Healthy:
------------------------
Over time, each of your family members will get sick due to overwork
and the environment. Try to save up money to treat the whole family
at once, it's much more economical this way. Click on any family member,
then click Give Medicine to see your options.

Invest in Infrastructure:
-------------------------
While buying a cell phone or investing in a nearby road may seem like
an extravagance, over the long term these items will pay off - not to
mention boosting your final score!

Go for a long period of time just planting one of each crop. If you don't
have enough money to begin with, try selling the children. You only get
$10 per child, and only if they have full health, so best to do it closer
to the start of the game. Also, if you hav a single adult running the farm,
try marrying and them making that spouse leave the farm. You get $20 for
the healthy spouse to leave the farm, but the amount you get when they
join the family varies. Can only do once per turn and there will not always
be a suitable spouse.

3-Hole Challenge

Submitted by: rickHH

Hints:
------
Drag your mouse around in the main window (where your golfer is
standing). The arrow at the top represents where your ball will
land.

As you aim, pay attention to the circular map on the left of the
screen. This shows you a top-down view of the course. The blinking
flag represents the hole, and the smaller flag is where your ball
will land at the end of the current stroke. Note that if you change
clubs, the smaller flag will change positions based on the range
of each club.

Directly below the map is a number showing you how many yards the
ball is from the hole. Use this number to help determine which club
to use.

Below the map is a blue "C." This is the swing gauge. Note the two
red triangles, one on the top and the other on the bottom of the
gauge. Once you're satisfied with your aim on the course, you'll
be clicking your left mouse button three times:

Click once to start the swing gauge indicator climbing towards the
top triangle. The top triangle represents the power of your stroke.


Click again when the indicator is lined up with the triangle --
this represents optimal power. Click to the left of the triangle
for less power, and to the right for more. This click will now
send the swing gauge indicator back down towards the bottom
triangle. The bottom triangle represents the angle at which the
face of your club hits the ball.

Click once more when the indicator is lined up with the bottom
triangle to hit the ball square on. Click early (to the left of
the triangle) and your ball will curve left (hook). Click late
and your ball will curve right (slice).


Tips for All Players:
---------------------
At the end of each stroke, you must hit the green Next Shot button
to set yourself up for your next stroke. If you choose, you can
also hit the red Instant Replay button to watch your skilled shot
over again.

The computer will not automatically choose the best club for each
shot. An exception is the putter, which will be set up for you
automatically once the ball reaches the green.

At the end of each hole, click Next Shot and you'll be brought
back out to the start screen. Simply click on the To Course
button on the bottom to continue with the next hole.

Once you've sunk the ball at the end of the third round, click
Next Shot to be taken to the submission screen. Score uploading
is now disabled, so you can quit or go to a new round.

MOON cheat)

Haunted
-------
Difficulty: Insane
------------------
This used to be a great place to race... but recently it's become a
little creepy. Maybe it has something to do with the nearby graveyard.
Drivers must avoid the mausoleum slime ghost, dodge the skeleton hands,
and avoid the swarm of bats on their way from the belfry.

Watch out for:
--------------
The mausoleum's resident ghost will fly out and dive onto the track,
leaving behind a slimy trail of ectoplasm. Most unpleasant to drive
through. Bats fly out of the tree when its roots are struck. Watch
out for this distraction.

Track Tips:
-----------
An unstable vortex on the track will try to suck cars into another
dimension if they get too close. By forcing your opponents into it,
you can put some serious distance between you and them. Just be careful
not to get stuck in the vortex yourself.

--------------
Hillbilly Hill
--------------
Difficulty: Medium
------------------
With jugs of moonshine and a still, wild animals crossing
the racetrack, and a variety of traps, this tack can unnerve
with the best drivers.

Watch out for:
--------------
Wallace the meandering turtle will act like a speed bump if
your racer hits him.
Don't let the curious raccoon, who'll pop his head out of
his burrow to get a closer look at the radio controlled ruckus,
get in your way.
A runaway chicken will pounce on and hold back your car if you
let it get too close.

Track Tips:
-----------
On this track is a moving tire swing, which will whack your
racer if it hits it. If you can force your opponent into the
path of the tire swing, they'll be knocked off course, allowing
you to zoom ahead.

--------
Backyard
---------
Difficulty: Medium
------------------
The ultimate in backyard RC entertainment! This track makes
use of every item that can be found in the back yard.
Hazards are abundant on this track, so drive with caution!

Watch out for:
--------------
Fish swim around the small fishpond and spit water at the cars
at random intervals.
The resident gopher will pop out of his hole when he is disturbed.
Hitting him will cause cars to go spinning out of control.
Those nasty Lawn Gnomes want revenge! The Gnomes throw bombs at
the passing cars, and giggle when the bombs go off.

Track Tips:
-----------
Watch out for the dog house! Get too close to the dog's bone,
and he'll chew on your car until he feels his bone is safe.
You can use this to your advantage by forcing your opponents
into his range when rounding the turn.


-----------
Power Ups :
Give Yourself The Edge
----------------------

Power Ups can be disabled at any time for no-nonsense racing!

Turbo Boost
-----------
When a Turbo Boost power up is activated, your racer is given
a short burst of additional speed. Although this acceleration
is brief, in a close race it might be just enough to send you
over the finish line ahead of your opponents.


Bottle Rocket
-------------
Your racer launches a Bottle Rocket that "homes in" on the
lead racer. Racers hit by a Bottle Rocket become momentarily
uncontrollable. Because the Bottle Rocket cannot make sharp
turns, skillful drivers can sometimes elude them.

Electro Shock
-------------
When an Electro Shock power up is activated, your racer is
engulfed in an arching ball of electricity that strikes any
opponents that attempt to pass. Racers that are zapped by
this electricity slow down for a short period of time.


Firecracker
-----------
A firecracker is released behind your car with a three-second
fuse. A racer that hits the firecracker instantly triggers
an explosion as well. When it explodes, racers that are caught
in its blast radius are knocked over.

Ghost Drive
-----------
Your racer becomes "Ghosted" (transparent) and is no
longer affected by your opponent's power ups. Ghost
Drive also lets your racer drive through water hazards
such as ponds, lakes, rivers, or sprinklers without
slowing down.

Oil Slick
---------
A pool of oil is released from the rear of your racer.
Racers that drive over an oil slick lose traction and
become uncontrollable for a short period of time.

Hints:
------
Learn how to nudge the table with the three keys (Z, /,
and the spacebar). With careful timing and savoir faire,
you can control the ol' silver ball like a true pinball
wizard.

Once in a Multiball event, keep plugging the side ramps
for further ball saves; additional balls will be released.

You need to collect ten snacks in the Chocolate World Snack
Shop in order to get to the final Lights Out event.
If you get all 50, there's a surprise in there for ya!
