THE GAME
This is where the law stops ... and you start! Fight your way through 8 levels on this city's East side to find and rescue the beautiful Ingrid. When you have located Ingrid you face the ultimate adversary -the Night Slasher.
At the beginning you have only your fists as protection but other weapons may be acquired. Within the City-scape are many dangers, seemingly innocent windows may harbour snipers or booby-traps. They can however be transformed into hamburgers which in turn provide you with your armoury.
WEAPONS
When you punch or shoot a sniper or booby-trapped window a hamburger may be revealed - passing in front of this will gain you a new weapon or boost the power of one you already have. Weapons are:
KNIFE,
HAND GUN,
MACHINE PISTOL.
To select one from your arsenal, simply press the up or down cursor key - selection will then be highlighted on screen.

Cheat Mode
hint
There are men with bazookas, knives and guns. Duck under bazooka shots and jump over knives and guns, then kill the gangsters. Don't kill the women standing still or the man under the lamp post, doing so will reduce your score.
Gangsters will pop-out of dustbins, duck their shot and kill them. If ducks come down and you are on the ground you must duck them. If you're on a platform you can jump at the duck to kill it.
Ingrid is somewere on level 5 or 6 and will follow you around, don't worry about her safety as all shots will have no affect on her health.

"The Speccy version is the best of the lot, the Amstrad port is such a let down. Play the Speccy version instead."
