The Game
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
Crockett and Tubbs have heard; the word is on the street - a one million
|
||
|
|
dollar contraband shipment is due in town on Thursday morning, for collection
|
||
|
|
by Mr. 'J' - an old fashioned gangster with a respectable new image and
|
||
|
|
some influential friends.
|
||
|
|
These big deals usually go down under the cover of a waterfront warehouse
|
||
|
|
and as of Midnight Sunday that's as much as you know.
|
||
|
|
Just get out there and squeeze the network of dealers; starting with the
|
||
|
|
real low - life, the $10 wrap men who frequent the local bars. If you
|
||
|
|
handle them right you just might get to their suppliers, the next link in
|
||
|
|
the chain and eventually the slick businessmen who operate in the casinos -
|
||
|
|
they should have lots of information if you don't have to shoot them first!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
DOWN - Exit option mode
|
||
|
|
LEFT - Walk left
|
||

Evidence (bags of contraband) are collected by walking over them.
|
||
|
|
Should a crook be encountered, his name will be displayed in the message
|
||
|
|
window. A crook may be apprehanded by catching, trapping or shooting (if he
|
||
|
|
survives!) When a crook surrenders, option mode is automatically selected.

||
|
|
Choose options by pressing FIRE when option is highlighted.
|
||
|
|
Successful interrogation should yield a name of a person or place, a time,
|
||
|
|
or a dollar value of a deal.
|
||
|
|
Any crook that is arrested will be carrying all of their deal. Crooks and
|
||
|
|
evidence should be returned to City Hall to score.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Special Locations
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
Do not have interior screens, but computer beeps when they are visited.
|
||
|
|
They are:
|
||
|
|
CITY HALL - Drop off crooks and evidence here (both will be lost if car
|
||
|
|
crashes with them inside). You will not score for a crook who hasn't talked
|
||
|
|
(but you will score for his evidence). City Hall will interrogate him and
|
||
|
|
pass on information on the message window in about 3 hours.
|
||
|
|
HOSPITAL - May be visited once a day to recover some player strength.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Timing
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
1 game minute = 1 second real time
|
||
|
|
If you enter a location before the meeting time, the crooks will spot the
|
||
|
|
car as they arrive, and the meeting will be called off.
|
||
|
|
If you enter a location when a meeting has been going on less than 4 minutes,
|
||
|
|
the crooks will have fled, leaving behind evidence.
|
||
|
|
If you enter a location 4 to 8 minutes after a meeting has started, you may
|
||
|
|
find a crook carrying evidence.
|
||
|
|
If you enter a location 8 to 12 minutes after a meeting has started, it
|
||
|
|
will be deserted - but if you leave quickly you may spot the red getaway car.
|
||
|
|
If you arrive after 12 minutes you are too late.
|
||
|
|
If you fall to catch Mr. 'J', the game will restart on midnight of next
|
||
|
|
Sunday, after you have played to midday on Thursday. All meetings will follow
|
||
|
|
the previous week's schedule, except for crooks who have been taken to City
|
||
|
|
Hall, or shot dead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Scoring
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
The game ends automatically when you apprehend Mr. 'J', or when either
|
||
|
|
Crockett or Tubbs is killed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
YOU GAIN POINTS FOR:
|
||
|
|
(1) Returning evidence to City Hall (all crooks carry evidence which will
|
||
|
|
be scored when they are returned).
|
||
|
|
(2) Return crooks to City Hall once they have talked (but not if they lied).
|
||
|
|
(3) Shoot getaway cars (red ones).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
YOU LOSE POINTS FOR:
|
||
|
|
(1) Crashing your car.
|
||
|
|
(2) Destroying civilian (non-red) cars.
|
||
|
|
(3) Each wound on Crockett or Tubbs.
|
||
|
|
(4) Having a bribe rejected.
|
||
|
|
(5) Failing to arrest a suspect after threatening to do so.
|
||
|
|
If you haven't got Mr. 'J' at the end of any weekly cycle (i.e. by midday
|
||
|
|
Thursday), you lose all your score.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Meetings
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
Your captain has provided you with sets of probable time schedules for all
|
||
|
|
the meetings which are expected on Monday.
|
||
|
|
There are two possible schedules for Monday a.m., and four on Monday p.m.
|
||
|
|
All meetings within each twelve hour period will follow the same schedule,
|
||
|
|
although you do not know which ones at the start.
|
||
|
|
To catch a crook at a meeting, arrive at the meeting between 4 and 8 minutes
|
||
|
|
after its scheduled start. To disturb a meeting in order to make the crook
|
||
|
|
flee, leaving his contraband behind, arrive between 0 and 4 minutes from
|
||
|
|
its start. To encounter a crook's car (the red car), enter and leave the
|
||
|
|
location of a meeting within 8 and 12 minutes from its start.
|
||
|
|
|
||

Hints And Tips

|
||
|
|
1. The timing of the meetings is critical so it is important to refer to
|
||
|
|
the meeting schedules - Mondays only.
|
||
|
|
2. In the meeting schedule, once a suspect has been located all subsequent
|
||
|
|
encounters in the period will follow in the column of times above and below.
