THE THREE STOOGES QUICK REFERENCE CARD

Why Soitenly, nuk nuk nuk...

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS: Amiga 1000 owners should KICKSTART their
(machines with version 1.2.  Insert The Three Stooges REEL1 into the
(main drive.  If you have a second drive (recommended) insert Stooges
REEL2.  Plug a joystick into port #2 and away you go! WISE GUY!

WINNING THE GAME:  Can the Stooges help the poor widow save the
orphanage from I. Fleeceem, the evil banker?  Moe, Larry, and Curly
have only 30 days to earn enough money to stop Fleecem from
foreclosing.  To pay off the mortgage, they'll need $5000.00.  With
$10,000 they can pay off the mortgage AND repair the orphanage,  but
they'll need more than that to marry and maybe even lay Ma's beautiful
daughters, do not attempt if you are a provincial putz.

HOW TO PLAY:  Moe has a map of Stoogeville, but can't make up his
mind where to go next.  PRESS THE FIRE BUTTON TO STOP THE HAND AND GO
TO THAT PLACE, or wait until the timer runs out and go where ever
Moe's hand stops. (You will have about 2 seconds to look at the map
before the hand starts moving and the timer starts counting down, so
pay attention!)  There are 180 places to go in Stoogeville, all on a
ONE WAY street.  The first 30 squares are on the back of this card on
my original program, unfortunately I can not let you see them but the
map consists of different places that you could go.  The street never
changes, so after you play several times, you'll know your way around
town!  The different things along the road are:

SLAPPING GAME: Its important to control the speed of Moe's hand.  To
slow it down you'll have to "knock" some sense into Larry and Curly.
You control Moe in the middle. Whenever you hit Larry or Curly the
speed of the finger goes down.  But if you miss them or they hit you,
the speed increases.  The bar above their heads shows how much speed
has changed and the time remaining FAKING IS CRITICAL TO MOE'S
SUCCESS.  Use the button on your joystick to instigate a real hit or
kick or some kind of blow.  Let off the button to do a fake.  Ill
leave it up to you to figure out the joystick positons as to what
positon is what kind of hit.  Its not hard unless your a fatboy!

MOUSETRAPS: When Moe's hand stops on one of these, the trap will snap
on his finger. The Stooges don't go anywhere when this happens, and
they loose a day.  If Moe gets snapped on his last finger, the Stooges
will no longer be able to work, and their trip through Stoogeville
will be over. Watch the hand, it indicates the number of fingers
remaining.

PIE FIGHT:  You control all three Stooges.  Move the joystick up,
down, or center it to make Moe, Larry, or Curly duck.  To throw a pie,
simply push the joystick while any of the Stooges are "ducking".
Watch the lights in the upper right corner to tell how many times
you've been hit-five "hits" and the Stooges are out of a job.  If you
throw ALL your pies, you double your money as a bonus! NOTE: You only
make money when you HIT a guest not when you miss.

HOSPITAL:  Move the joystick UP to accelerate, DOWN to break, and
LEFT or RIGHT to avoid the people in the hall.  Make money for making
it to the operating room with time left on the clock. Collect the
items thrown from the nurses cart to make bonus money along the way!
Moe makes FIVE dollars per item, Curly gets TEN and Larry scores
FIFTEEN bucks!  Enjoy the sound effects on this one.  ITS BITCHIN!

CRACKER EATING:  Move the spoon over the cracker and push the fire
button to scoop it up.  You make TEN dollars for each cracker and
FIFTY dollars per bowl.

BOXING:  Move the joystick right to accelerate, left to slow down,
and up or down to change lanes.  Press the fire button to jump over
things.  Get back before the end of the last round and receive a
bonus.

TRIVIA:  Move and hold the joystick LEFT for "A", up for "B" and
right for "C", then press the fire button.

CHANCE: (?)

MONEY: ($) Free money, or a reward for finding it!

EVIL BANKER: If you're lucky, you'll just lose a day!


Extra NOTES:

1. If you have extra RAM or a hard disk, read the READ.ME file on
REEL 2

2. You may skip the introduction by pressing the ESC key.  When the
game finishes the current animation it will skip to the beginning of
the game.

3. To pause the game or quit, hold the joystick UP just before the
hand starts moving.  Then make your selection with the joystick.

4.  More money can be made further along the street, but the work is
harder.  As you get better at the game you may want to skip an odd joy
on square 1 to hit a money square on day 6, for example.  Remember,
you only have 30 days to raise the dough and there are 180 total
squares on the street. That's a 6 on every turn!  And remember, as we
say in Alaska, Dont Let Your Meat Loaf!

Nuk Nuk Nuk, AAHH Wise Guy, Why Soitenley I am!  THESE DOCS PROVIDED
