- 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.
-
-
-
-
