        * THE BIG APPLE *
              (NYC)

OBJECTIVE:
----------

  As a visiting tourist, you must visit
12 locations in New York City within a
specific amount of time. The locations
are:

     LOCATION             SYMBOL
     --------             ------
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING       ES
UNITED NATIONS BUILDING     UN
GRANT'S TOMB                GT
WORLD TRADE CENTER          WT
CITICORP CENTER             CC
CITY HALL                   CH
CENTRAL PARK ZOO            ZO
POST OFFICE                 PO
AUTOMAT                     AU
MART                        MA
BANK                        BA
SUBWAY                      SU

  The BANK and the SUBWAY are always
open during the game. All other
locations are open only when you see
their two letter symbol at the top of
screen under SIGHT. In addition to
these 12 locations, you will see 3
other locations:

LOT: You must retrieve your car from
     the lot if it is towed.  To get
     your car back you must pay $90+$20
     for each 7.5 minutes on the game
     clock.

GAS AND GARAGE: If you are involved in
     an accident or run out gas, your
     car will be brought here. When you
     pick up your car, your tank will
     be full and you will be charged
     for the gas and $50 to $350 for
     repairs. You may buy gas
     voluntarily by parking and then
     going into the building and
     position the man in the top center
     of the screen.  Then hold down the
     fire button and your gas supply
     will go up. You will be charged $1
     per gallon.

HOSPITAL: If you are hit by a vehicle
     while walking, or if your car is
     hit by blue tow truck you will be
     brought here to recuperate and
     will be charged $200.

Each time you start the game, all
locations are randomly placed except
for:

ZOO   : Always in Central Park.
GARAGE: Always at the east end of
        Central Park
SUBWAY: Entrances are always on the
        street that runs along the
        south edge of Central Park.

DRIVING THE CAR:

  Your car is the blue car in the
center of the screen. You can drive it
forward by moving in the desired
direction the car is facing. To stop,
simply release the joystick. You can
turn 45 degrees from your current
direction by moving the joystick in the
desired direction.
  If you park your car and your meter
expires, you will get a 'METER EXPIRED'
message.
  If you run out of gas or your meter
expires, your car will be towed to GAS
AND GARAGE, and you will become a
pedestrian if you weren't already one.

BEING A PEDESTRIAN:

  To enter any of the 12 locations you
must visit, you will have to get out of
your car. Getting into an accident with
the blue tow truck will get you out of
your car automatically. A better way is
to pull into parking space or parking
space or parking lot and push the
joystick button. Pushing the button 
will get you out of your car only when
you are legally parked or out of gas.
  To enter a location, just walk in the
front door. If you don't disappear
in-side, you are not lined up with the
door. To get back into your car, stand
on the left end of the car and push the
fire button. If you leave your car
parked too long, the tow truck will
come to tow your car away to the lot.

THE LOCATIONS:

  Empire State Building (ES), United
Nations Building (UN), Grant's Tomb
(GT), World Trade Center (WT), Citicorp
Center (CC), City Hall (CH). These six
locations have the same objective but
each one will be successively more
difficult. You must make your way to
the top of the grid of platforms and
ladders, grab the pretzel or key, and
exit the bottom of the screen without
running into the men who are chasing
you.
  If you get caught, you will lose $50
and have to start again at the bottom
of the screen. The two men who are
chasing you can bridge the gaps which
might be present. You must try to lure
the men to the necessary place.

CENTRAL PARK ZOO:

  Someone has let the animals out of
their cages at the zoo! The animals
must be put into separate fenced areas.
  To lay a fence, hold down the fire
button and move the joystick. You must
fence each animal so that it is
completely surrounded by fencing or
walls. You may freeze caged animals by
moving to the top of the screen and
pressing the fire button. Each caged
animal will then be frozen and $25
dollars will be deducted from your
money. You must freeze all the animals
to complete this segment of the game.
BEWARE! The animals bite (including
frozen ones) and each bite costs you
$50 and you must start again at the top
of the screen.

POST OFFICE:

  The Post Office is the most difficult
of the locations to complete. The
object is to grab the letter, place it
on the empty stamp pad, wait for it to
be stamped, take it off the stamp pad,
climb up the ladder and put it into the
white mail box at the top of the
screen.
  The Post Office is divided into
several colored bands. You must use the
fire button to jump from one color up
to the next. To move down the screen to
a different color, simply move the
joystick down.
  Your first task is to get the letter
you are trying to mail. You must chase
the letter and jump if necessary to
grab the letter. If you miss, you will
be charged $50 and have to start over
at the bottom of the screen.
  You must next get through the moving
mail carts and past the dog to the
stamping pads. Touching either the mail
carts or the dog will cause you to
start again at the bottom of the
screen. Since the dog will follow you,
try luring the dog to the far left of
the screen and then dash to the right
while avoiding the mail cars. Your
letter must next be stamped. To do
this, position yourself next to a
stamper. Wait until your stamper stamps
and then jump onto the pad and quickly
get out of the way. If you fail to get
out of the way, you will also be
stamped, lose $50, and have to start
over.  If your letter is successfully
stamped, you will start with your
letter on the stamp pad any time you
are forced to start over.
  Next you must take your letter off
the pad and put it into the white mail
box at the top of the screen. You must
retrieve your letter from the pad by
jumping onto the pad. You must then
jump onto a ladder and ride the ladder
until you can drop your letter into the
proper mail box. You may not ride a
ladder off the edge of the screen, so
it may be necessary to move off a
ladder temporarily. To do this, move
your character down off the ladder by
moving the joystick down. Be sure you
do not exit onto a stamper!
  Once your letter has been dropped
into the proper mail box, you must make
your way back to the bottom of the
screen while avoiding the dangers you
have just passed. You must repeat this
process with another letter to complete
this location.

AUTOMAT:

  At 10:00, 2:00, and 6:00 on the game
clock, IT'S MEAL TIME will appear. All
locations except the automat, bank, gas
and garage will then close until you
complete the automat location.
  The object is to eat 10 hamburgers.
You can order your burgers by moving to
the top of the screen and pressing the
fire button. Each time you press the
button you will be charged $20 and a
burger will appear on the screen. You
must catch 10 burgers while avoiding
Felix Hunger who also has designs on
your burgers. Getting bit by Felix
costs you $50.
  When you have ate ten hamburgers,
congratulations! You are done.
