The following text will walk you through Mean Streets by ACCESS:
General Hints:
1. Document every thing you do and cannot do. Therefore when a new name
appears you will have the reference. Also, when you cannot open something,
you know where to come back to when you find the object needed.
2. Always LOOK, MOVE, OPEN & GET in this order. It will prevent you
from picking up something and never be able to open & search it
once it is in your inventory.
3. If you never want to worry about money running out -- save the game
before you BRIBE and then reload the game once you have the info
requested.
