INSTRUCTIONS As chief person of London it is your duty to organise the firefighters at your disposal to cut off the progress of the fire and stop it spreading in as short a time as possible. You have 4 game "days" to do this. You can use three methods of firefighting: Water pump: Used to extinguish fires in burning cells. They will then be burnt out and become excellent fire breakes. It carries enough for two cell's worth of water in one go and must be taken to the river to be refilled. Demolition gang: The gangers will clear a cell completely. They can destroy between 4 and 7 cells every hour but if you do not slow the fire down quickly enough they may not reappear for a while. Gunpowder gangs: There are 3 stationed in the city. They can be used to blow up cells that aren't burning. Do not use on burning cells! They can blast 4 cells and will return to their stations when all their charges are used, and remain there until you need them. To use these things you must move towards them and press fire, O or G. The appropriate icon at the top of the screen will show you what type of apparatus you have selected. To fill water pumps go alongside any river with pump and move towards the water pressing fire, O or G. Press 1 to go back to main menu at any time. The fire will spread quickly within a block and sparks borne by the wind will ignite other blocks (there is a weather vane in the top right hand corner of the screen). The quicker you extinguish the fire the highter your score will bea nd you will score well for remaining time. There is a unique map designing utility incorporated, you may design a new town with your own street names and save it. Select this from the main menu and press O for instructions (If you are saving any map be careful not to save it over the game!) NOTE When you wish to restart the game at any time it will be necessary for you to load in a new map of London, Exit to the main menu (by pressing 1) and select the LOAD GAME option.
