Spy Hunter, the incredible game known from the arcade, is here for the
Apple  at last. Many people, upon BRUNing SPY HUNTER find that it does
not work... And  if  they  BRUN  SPY.0,  it  screws  up.  The  fix  is
simple...   Boot  wit  64k dos. This means you have to have dos in the
language card for Spy Hunter to work. Diversi-Dos has an option to  do
this  by  pressing D when putting dos on a disk. Also on most AE disks
there is a file called DDMOVER, this, when BRUN,  will  move  standard
Diversi-Dos  to  the  ramcard.   So  boot  with  Diversi-Dos, and Brun
DDMOVER. Any way you do it, BRUN SPY HUNTER and it will work. 

                              The Game


In the game there are ten different moving  objects.  Here  are  their
descritions. 

1}  Dark  blue  car  --  shoot to kill, or ram off road. Sometimes has
razors coming out of its tires that it will kill you with. 

2} Wide blue car -- impermiable to machine gun fire. You must ram  him
off the road. 

3} Light blue small cars -- these cars are civilins. You get no points
for them, but they're fun to hit anyways. 

4} Motorcycles -- same as Light blue small cars. 

5}  Helicopter  --  Travels  overhead,  to  kill  it you must use your
missles (more on that later). Occasionally drops... 

6} Bombs -- dropped by the helicopter, when they land they  produce  a
small crater that will kill you if you run over it. 

7}  Blue  boats  -- these boats appear when you turn into a ship. They
drop red bombs that will kill you if you hit them. 

8} Wide blue boats -- these babies will shoot thick missiles at you if
they get right behind you, or else they will attempt to  ram  you  off
the road. 

9}  Utility van -- the big red mac that lets you off when you die, and
ap- pears once in a while to give you new weapons.  When  it  appears,
get  in  back  of it and press the top button, and it will let you in.
Your weapons are displayed on the bottem of  the  screen.  The  bottom
button  fires  guns & missiles, the top is the slick and smoke screen.
The computer will fire a missile instead of the machine  guns  when  a
chopper is on the screen, and releases the oil slick until you run out
and then you release the smoke. 

10}  Old,  big, blue, mafia car -- this car comes down from the top of
the screen, and occaisionally a window opens and a  gun  gets  pointed
out, and fires across the road. 
                    
                    
                         Change of scenery
                    
                    Spy hunter has four scenes. 

1}  Road  --  what you start out on.  You can go all the way over into
the dark green but the light green is a no-no. 

2} Water -- after driving for a while, you will lose control  and  the
road  will narrow until you run into a small shed... you will come out
the other side as a small speedboat. If you stick with it long enough,
you come out as a car again. 

3} Bridge -- a common occurance, this in no way affects play. 

4} Icy road -- the backround goes white, and the car is a little  more
difficult to control. 

                              
                              Cheating

Hit  P  while playing to have unlimited cars, and all the weapons.  Be
warned -- I have seen the utility van come along and then keep  going,
after  playing with the cheat for a while... You'll have to start over
again if that happens. 


Happy motoring!
