- You are a tourist in New York. You have inadvertently passed through
- Harlem and stopped to look at what you think are ancient ruins. Actually,
- it's a burnt out shell of a building! You are on the fifth floor of this
- tenement and you must try to GET OUT -- ALIVE!
- Your alternatives are:
- 1) FOOT - A weapon that should be used only against such minor
- enemies as cockroaches. You have an UNLIMITED number
- of attacks with your foot!
- 2) BRICK - A stronger weapon. Several of these will finish off a
- mugger, with some luck. You have 10 bricks.
- 3) BRIBE - You may try to bribe your way out of any situation. You
- have $1000 to do this with.
- 4) RUN - You may also try to get out of a tight spot in this
- manner, but don't give it too much of a chance! You
- have an UNLIMITED amount of attempts.
- 5) PISTOL - This is a very potent 45 calibre automatic. You have
- 6 shots.
- 6) SHOTGUN - Instant death to ANYTHING! You only have 1 shot!
- 7) MOVE - Once you have gotten rid of your enemy, you MUST continue
- on your merry way. Don't worry about direction, there is
- only one and that is OUT!!
- 8) FIRE - You may light a fire at any time you wish. Eventually,
- (within 5 turns or less) your present enemy will roast!
- Be careful not to stay any longer than you have to or you
- will roast too! You have 3 matches.
- 9) STATUS - This will give you the number of weapons, your strength,
- your enemies strength, etc. This does NOT waste a turn.
- 10) BYE - This is a quick way to end the game.
- 11) HELP - Prints a list of the commands to help in case you forget.
- 12) ESCAPE - You may escape any monster by hopping out to the fire escape
- but other dangers lurk there.
-
- Your enemies are (in order of strength from weakest to strongest),
- COCKROACH, SEWER RAT, PUSHER, MUGGER, HITMAN.
- When an enemy attacks you, he will subtract from your strength which starts at
- 100% (100 percent). When you kill him, you will get his stash which may be
- anything from an extra round for your shotgun to a grey felt hat and the like.
- There will be 5 enemies on each of the five floors that you must kill to get to
- the next floor. You may run into unexpected obstacles. The more enemies you
- kill, the higher your score will be. GOOD LUCK - YOU WILL NEED IT!!
