ATTENTION: This game is is a direct sequel to an earlier
Spectrum game - "Skyscraper of Doom". If you haven't
played the first part earlier, think about it now.You
can still enjoy playing "Streets of Doom" without it, but
you may have  some troubles with understanding all the
story.


STORY:
------

The events of the last night will remain in your memory
forever. Burning skyscraper,beautiful girl,mysterious
strangers,murder, black magic... If somebody told you
about it, you'd think he watched too many movies.

Now the skyscraper is gone. You are in the streets without
any clear idea what to do next. But don't expect your life
to be much easier. Midnight City in 2031 isn't a safe place
and you'll soon learn that you have not only friends but
powerful enemies as well.

Your first task is to get out of the slum disctrict
and go for a date with the girl you saved. You'll soon
learn that not everything goes as expected...


Don't forget to read the introduction in the game to
learn more about your situation.

Have fun!



GAMEPLAY:
---------

This is mostly a copy/paste from "Skyscraper of Doom"
as the rules of the game don't change between parts :)

 To solve your case you will need to walk around locations,
pick and use items, operate devices, talk to people etc.
 You can control your character either with a joystick or
a keyboard. You can make your selection in game menu.

 You can carry two items with you. One of them is always
the chosen item.When trying to use an item, you will always
use the chosen item

The controls are:
	
LEFT /RIGHT 		- 	walk in chosen direction
LEFT /RIGHT + UP 	- 	jump in chosen direction
UP			-	jump up (not very useful)
DOWN			-	change chosen item

FIRE can mean several different actions, depending on
current situation:

- pick/drop items
- use items
- interact with enviroment
- walk through doors and passages
- advance dialogues

and others...

During gameplay, your game menu shows you:

- items being carried
- your energy
- your score, expressed as percent of completed game story


HINTS:
- To pick up items stand in position with your left leg edge touching
  their left edge :)
  
- Some actions require that you carry two items. In such cases not only your chosen item,
  but the second  item you are carrying is important as well.
    
- You have only one life and there isn't any way to restore your energy, so be careful.
  
- Sometimes you don't need to use an item, it's enough to carry it with you.

- Wait for the 3rd final part of this game trilogy :)
