                           Help for Mean Streets
                                 10/05/89

        HOW TO GET WHERE YOU WANT TO GO: Your vehicle is a 21st century
        "flying car" called a "speeder". Press "H" while in the cockpit
        for a help screen. Refer to the manual for additional instructions
        on how to fly your speeder. For this QUICK START session, we suggest
        you do the following.

        STEP 1:  Acess the NAV COMPUTER by pressing "N".
        STEP 2:  Press "N" again. This tells the Nav Computer that you wish
                 to program an NC address.
        STEP 3:  Enter the 4 digit NC address (i.e. 4663 for Linsky's office)
                 and press [Enter]. The NAV Computer is now programmed to
                 take you to this location.
        STEP 4:  After you've returned to the cockpit view, press "A" for
                 AUTO PILOT.

        WHAT TO DO: The names of people and places are leads. Write them down
        along with the NC address if you have it. Go visit these people and
        ask questions. Go visit the places and look around.

        NOTE: In addition to questioning people about other people, you should
        ask about the following: MTC CORP.,GIDEON ENTERPRISES, OVERLORD,
        PASSCARD, PASSWORD, LAW AND ORDER (the cops), NEXUS (the computer),
        INSURANCE.

        WRITE THINGS DOWN. Be careful to SPELL EVERYTHING CORRECTLY, AND USE
        THE FULL NAMES OF PEOPLE.

        USE YOUR SECRETARY AND INFORMANT. Your secretary Vanessa and your
        informant Lee Chin are valuable sources of information. Call them on
        your VIDEO PHONE by pressing "V" or "L" from your speeder.

        IF YOU GET INTO A GUN FIGHT, press "H" immediately. This will bring up
        a help screen of fighting instructions. The object of the gun fight is
        to MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN. Note: You can only kill in
        the standing position..!

        SAVE YOU GAME. Press "D" from the speeder to access your DISK. Select
        a game number (0-9) and press "S" for SAVE.

        REVIEW YOUR INVENTORY. Press "I" while in your speeder.

        USE THE 'HELP' KEY. Help screens are available at many locations
        throughout the game. Type "H" or "HELP".

        HERE ARE YOUR LEADS: Carl Linsky is the professor who jumped to his
        death from the Golden Gate Bridge. He worked at the University of
        San Francisco (NC4663). Sylvia Linsky is the person who hired you.
        She's Carl Linsky's daughter and lives at NC4421. John Richards is the
        Medical Examiner. His office is at NC4670. Delores Lightbody (a fat
        bitch) is Carl's fiancee and lives at NC4920. Steve Clements is the
        police detective in charge of the case. The police station is at
        NC4680.

        WHAT DOES NC MEAN?? N.C. stands for Navigation Code. Its like an
        address. All important places (places you MUST visit) have Navigation
        Codes.

        USING THE AUTO PILOT: The auto pilot is engaged or disengaged simply
        by pressing the "A" key while in your speeder. It will take you any-
        where you'll want to go, but it must be programmed. Programming is
        done ..on the NAVIGATION COMPUTER in one of two ways.

        METHOD #1. Entering a NC, as explained previously will set the AUTO
        PILOT'S destination to the NC address.

        METHOD #2. Moving the destination cursor (the yellow cross-hair) with
        the cursor keys will set the AUTO PILOT'S destination to the location
        shown by the yellow cursor. Use the "<"and ">" keys to zoom in or out
        as needed, and press "esc" when your finished.

        NOTE: The location of the yellow cursor when you exit the NAV Computer
        is your programmed destination.

        SEARCHING A ROOM: Hit "H" immediatly for information on how to move.

        BOUNTY HUNTING: You can aquire extra cash and ammunition by fly to
        Bounty areas and fighting. Bounty areas arae places where no law exits
        and where gangs of thieves and murderers control the streets. The
        government has placed a bounty on the gang members in an attempt to
        bring the problem under control. Bounty areas have solid black landing
        pads but do not have NC addresses. The "Bad Guys" you encounter in
        these areas are more formidable opponents than you'll meet during the
        normal course of your investigation.
        The following are coordinates of Bounty Hunting pads. Go to the NAV
        Computer and use the cursor keys to move the yellow cross-hair to the
        approximate coordinates, the press 'Esc'. The NAV Computer will now be
        programmed to the location of the yellow cross-hair. NOTE: You may use
        each pad only once.

        BOUNTY HUNTING PAD COORDINATES:
                    PAD#            X-COORDINATE            Z-COORDINATE

        typing the Manual (hold your breath).
