	It's the latest game from Virtupets Studios - '''Super Race'''. It's a no-holds barred race to the finish where you control [[Ace Zafara]] and try and sprint faster than the computer-controlled Race Robot.

	~~However~~, the ~~marketing department of Virtupets Studios has been trying lately~~ to ~~earn extra revenues from this game's popularity..~~. ~~you have been warned!~~		'''''Advert Attack''''' is a [[wikipedia:Flash\|Flash]] released on 30 January 2003, where the player must contend with (fictional) pop-up ads (advertising other [[Neopia]]n activities like [[Scorchy Slots]]) in order to win a race.

	~~Released on January 30~~, ~~2003~~.		It features a simple [[wikipedia:Story within a story\|game within a game]] called ''Super Race'' where the player must click a moving button to power [[Ace Zafara]]'s space ship to win a race. However, [[Dr. Sloth]], having seen the popularity of ''Super Race'', sells advertising space to the game, and the longer the player plays, the more pop-ups and banner adds will appear to get in their way.

	==How to play==		==How to play==
	~~Click on~~ the ~~'''~~Go!~~'''~~ button ~~with your mouse pointer as many times as you can to make~~ Ace ~~run faster. However, advertisements~~ will ~~pop up and prevent you from clicking~~. ~~Close and move them out~~ of ~~the way~~ to ~~continue clicking~~ the ~~'''Go!'''~~ button ~~unhindered. Each round you complete~~ in the ~~game will earn you a 50 point bonus to your total. if you want more detail follow this game guide~~.		The object of the game is to help Ace Zafara beat the computer controlled Race Robot to the finish line. Every time the player clicks the "Go!" button, Ace Zafara will move forward a step. Thirty of these steps are needed to reach the finish line. The button disappears and reappears somewhere in the lower half of the screen every time it is clicked.

			In between the game levels, the player sees a short [[wikipedia:cutscene\|cutscene]] showing how Dr. Sloth intends to make money from the game. Starting at level two, pop-ups will appear to get in the player's way. These pop-ups are within the Advert Attack game itself, so will not be stopped by a browser's pop-up blocking software. The player can close these pop-ups, or move some of them out of the way by clicking and dragging the title bar (most of the adverts are styled like real [[wikipedia:Window (computing)\|windows]]).

	~~Hmmm~~.~~.. Advert attack... if you don~~'t ~~know what advert means, it means Advertise Attack :D. Anyway, this game is quite easy. It's a race between you, Ace Zafara, and~~ the ~~computer! Ace Zafara is trying to race a robot~~ to the ~~finish line. However, since this game is so popular, Dr. Sloth decided to add popups to it~~! ~~After all, you can never have too much money for the next invasion~~.		Clicking on the advert itself will cause another one to appear. The player doesn't have to close or move all the pop-up windows to win the level - only when they get in the way of the "Go!" button.

	~~Controls:~~		===Cheats===
	~~The mouse is the only thing you need to play this game. It is used to close the pop-ups and to make your spaceship go by clicking on the "Go!" buttons.~~		*Typing ''nopopups'' will clear the screen of adverts once per game.

	~~Instructions:~~
	To play, all you must do is continuously hit the "GO" buttons that pop up. Each time you press one, Ace Zafara moves up a little towards the finish line in her spaceship. Once you get to level two, ads will start to pop up. Click only on the "X" or "Close" buttons to get rid of them. Clicking anywhere but there will make one more ad pop up.

	~~This game is really frustrating, though. If you hate advertisements then I wouldn~~'~~t suggest playing. This game might cause a lot of stress as it doesn~~'t give a good amount of Neopoints for all the work you put into it. Each round of the game, more and more pop-ups pop up. This game is great if you have fast mouse skills. The only round that doesn't have pop-ups is the first level. All of the others have pop-ups.

	Okay, the first level is easy. No ads! After that, ads appear. Then more ads, then bigger ads, then more, bigger, harder to close ads! And ah, sorry, you can't use those anti-pop-up programs because they won't work!

	~~Some tips: remember to only close ads that are in between you and the "Go" button.~~

	~~Don't click the actual ads, or else you'll get even more of them; click only the close button!~~
	~~There are always exactly 30 '"Go" buttons in every single level.~~
	~~Remember to calm down and don't get so mad when you lose...~~
	~~And the pop-ups aren~~'~~t real ones so don~~'~~t worry~~

	~~Cheat! Typing the phrase "nopopups" during the game~~ will ~~make all pop-ups on~~ the screen ~~disappear. (Once~~ per game.)

	~~Okay, that's all for my guide. You might become crazy after playing this game, just remember not to listen to that little voice beside you :D~~
