 CITY SLICKER 

 Hewson 1986



 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

 AIM : Abru Cadabbra has planted a bomb under the Houses of Parliament,

 just like Guy Fawkes. You, as the aforementioned City Slicker, have the

 task of finding the device and defusing it.

 

 GAMEPLAY : The game starts with the clock set at eight in the morning,

 with the bomb set to go off at midnight. Before you defuse it though,

 you must find the parts of the Bomb Disposal Unit or BDU. When you find

 a piece of it, you must return to your hideout under the Houses of

 Parliament and deposit it there. As well as the BDU parts, there are

 also various other useful objects lying around for you to collect.



 You must also avoid the marauding characters - from Beefeaters to

 bottle-throwing skinheads, they are all out to harass you. They can

 open doors, throw objects, steal objects and generally get in your

 way. Each time you contact one of them you lose energy, meaning that

 you cannot jump as high or as far as before. Falling from a great

 height also loses you energy. This can, however, be regained by eating

 food that you come across. You also have three pep pills to give you

 energy; if you are desperate, you can take one of these pills to keep

 you going.



 Abru Cadabbra himself is also roaming around looking for you, and

 trying to catch you. If he succeeds in this he will kill you and the

 bomb will detonate; an alarm sounds when he is about to enter your

 current room.



 COMMENTS : "Not Hewson's best."
