The game seems pretty interesting on the surface, but I can't get anywhere past the opening screen. I can navigate through the menu and change some settings with the arrow keys, but I can't get to "select" anything to actually launch the race. I tried clicking with the mouse, [SPACE] and [ENTER] with no result. However, when I press [ESC], this brings a sub-menu (a TIC sub-menu?) which gives me some options of restarting the game or to go to the TIC "command prompt" and this one I can still navigate with the arrow keys and yet still can't "select" anything with the keyboard but here at least the mouse actually works when I click on menu items.

I hope you can get this fixed soon after reading this, as I'm really interested in trying your game.

EDIT : DUH!! I just saw that there was a tiny line in the instructions telling to use "Z" to select things in the menu. ARGH! I feel so stupid now. lol

Sorry for the disturbance.
