What is CRIME FIGHTER?
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
Crime Fighter is a game for up to four players. In contrast to
many other games you don't fight against crimes, but you try to
commit as many of them as possible. For example you can play
pickpocket, raid supermarkets and hotels, steal cars, kidnap
children, raid banks, attack mail trains, and so on. Because
you are in a big town you have many different possibilities for
this. When you have a high standing already you are also able
to sign on gangsters that join your gang. This gangsters then
can be trained or equipped with weapons (for example with
pistols or machine guns).
Your aim is to seize the power in the underworld. But the way
there is very dangerous, particularly since the other players
try exactly the same. But also the police are hard on your
heels.
System requirements
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
- PC/XT/AT with at least 640 KB RAM
- EGA- or VGA-graphics adapter
- hard drive
- mouse recommended
Short introduction for impatient people
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The included documentation crime.doc is a little bit extensive.
Probably you won't like to read it before you play Crime Fighter
the first time. Therefore here is a short introduction, so you
can form a little idea of how the game works.
You start the program with the command: crime [ENTER]
In this game you put yourself in position of a gangster just
now released from prison. But you still stand on the lowest step
of your career. The other gangsters take you for a failure and a
coward. Your aim is to seize the leadership of the underworld.
You achieve this by committing as many crimes as possible.
For every crime that you commit, you get one point. When you
have received some points, your rank is raised and your reputation
in the underworld increases.
Winner of the game is the first player who reaches the rank "Boss
of the underworld".
At the beginning you have to select the number of players.
After this every player should enter his name and the name of
his gang. Then for every player the characteristics are defined.
Please consult the documentation to read more about this
characteristics. After this procedures the game can begin.
The players play one after another. At the beginning of each
round a big menu appears in which you can select the following
actions:
Overview
Go through town
Gang war
Next player
Options
End game
The most important action here is "go through town".
Every player can select this action only one time per round.
Then the next player is on turn.
A from above visible town appears. Your figure is displayed as a
little white man or a blue car, if you own one already.
You move this figure with the mouse by pressing the direction
buttons in the right part of the screen or by using the cursor
keys on the keyboard.
When you enter a building you always get a selection of several
actions to do. If you want, try some possibilities for committing
crimes. If you press the button "map" or hit the key <F1>, a map
appears on which you can click on the building about which you
want to be informed. Then you get a list of actions that you
can do in the corresponding building. You have only a limited
number of steps available, however. By moving with feet you have
altogether 25 steps, but it can increase up to 46 steps depending
on your car. After consumption of these steps your turn is over
and the next player gets his chance.
So, I hope that these information are enough to outline the
course of the game in a short way. In the documentation there
are far more descriptions of course.
But now have fun playing !!!
