- What is CRIME FIGHTER?
- ──────────────────────
- 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

- If you want to remove the game from your hard drive, simply
- delete the directory in which you have installed Crime Fighter.

- Short introduction for impatient people
- ───────────────────────────────────────
- 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 !!!
