The highly interactive nature of the game is required because of some of the COMPLEX MOVES the main character has to perform. A high level of competence at the controls will enhance your game play CONSIDERABLY. Because of the adventure elements, our second suggestion is that you should get into the habit of RECORDING what happens on each screen. This will enable you to obtain HIGHER SCORES with repeated play. The last point is, NEVER take anything FOR GRANTED - some things are not as they appear. Be curious, nosey, etc. and examine everything. Gameplay hints The following are clues to some of the objects and hazards you may come across in your travels, and are not necessarily the order in which you have to find them. In the spirit of all good adventures ... WE HAVE NOT TOLD YOU THE WHOLE STORY ... Bear in mind that the game is against the clock. You have one hour to complete the game, solve the puzzles and finally relinquish the terrorist group once and for all, before the executions begin. As you get into the game, watch for flashing crosses (only in C64 versions) to help your mission unfold. Kick or punch doors to gain access into rooms which hide various weapons, ammunition and bullet-proof vests to help combat the evil terrorists whose trousers are variously coloured to depict how strong they are (only in C64 versions). A crowbar helps you gain access to locked craters, etc. (only in Spectrum and Amstrad versions) and other tools may be vital to the gameplay later on. You start the game armed only with your fists and a knife, but your razor-sharp mind should have you exploring everything from video recorders, computers (which may need the help of floppy discs and log books) and "lived in" areas of the game that show where the hostages have been kept, moved on and have consequently dropped VITAL EVIDENCE (necklace, shoes, etc.). Your Ferrari F40 car is your only ally, but needs the correct "EXTRAS" to make it go and make it lethal. Don't forget; the police think you were involved in the crime, so be prepared for hassle. Make sure you collect enough evidence in case you are stopped and interrogated by the law.
