CAR. IT DISPLAYS ALL INCOMING MESSAGES AND T-MAIL. YOU WILL GET BOTH PERSONAL
AND PUBLIC MESSAGES, WHERE SOME WILL BE OF BOUNTIES TO COLLECT AND OTHERS JUST
NEWS FROM THE LOCAL T-MAIL STATION. YOU WILL HAVE TO SORT THROUGH THE STREAM
OF MAILS YOURSELF
, AND READ WHAT YOU FIND IMPORTANT. REMEMBER THAT THE COM-
PUTER HAS A MESSAGE MEMORY SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO READ OLD MESSAGES
AGAIN, AS IT CAN SOMETIMES BE HARD TO FOLLOW THE MESSAGE WHILE ENGAGED IN
HEAVY FIGHTING. YOU SIMPLY PRESS THE TAB KEY ONE OR SEVERAL TIMES TO REPLAY OLD
MESSAGES
.
FIRST TIME B-HUNTER
WHEN YOU FIRST ENTER THE CITY AS A ROOKIE B-HUNTER YOU WILL BE GREETED BY THE
MAYOR AND THEN GUIDED BY A VETERAN B-HUNTER. HIS JOB IS TO MAKE SURE YOU
KNOW THE BASICS. BUT HE WILL NOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING AND WHEN THESE FIRST FEW
TRAINING MISSIONS ARE OVER
, YOU WILL BE ON YOUR OWN. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO TAKE
WITH YOU INTO THE CHAOS OF THE CITY.
MISSIONS
WHEN YOU START THE GAME, YOU WILL BE GIVEN MISSIONS THAT ARE FAIRLY EASY, WITH
ONLY ONE OR TWO TARGETS. LATER ON YOU MUST LEARN TO HANDLE MANY TARGETS, AND
SOMETIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY YOU CANNOT ABORT A MISSION
WHEN IT HAS FIRST BEEN READ INTO YOU COMPUTERS MEMORY
. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE
MISSION BEFORE ANYONE WILL GRANT YOU A NEW ONE. THESE ARE THE HARD FACTS THAT
ONE HAS TO ACCEPT IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE BOUNTY BUSINESS.
S
USPECTS
T
HE CITY IS FILLED WITH CRIMINALS OF ALL KIND, BUT NOT ALL OF THESE HAVE HUGE BOUN-
TIES ON THEIR HEADS. MOST OF THESE PETTY THIEVES ONLY REGISTER AS "SUSPECTS".
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE ALL SOUGHT BY THE POLICE AND CITY OFFICIALS, AND THEY HAVE
PUT A SMALL FEE OUT TO ANYONE CATCHING A SUSPECT. YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN MOD-
IFIED TO IDENTIFY THESE, AS THEY ARE AN EASY SOURCE OF INCOME IF YOU NEED FAST CASH
TO BUY WEAPONS OR PAY BACK FINES
. BUT WATCH OUT, SOME OF THEM MIGHT TURN OUT
TO BE REAL NASTY OPPONENTS IN A FIGHT.
O
VER FINED
THE CITY OFFICIALS AND POLICE HAVE DECIDED THAT 50.000 IS THE FINE LIMIT ALLOWED.
WHEN YOU GET ABOVE THE 50.000 LIMIT YOU WILL BE OUTLAWED, AND A BOUNTY WILL
BE PUT ON YOUR HEAD
. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS ALL OTHER B-HUNTERS ARE
NOW CHASING YOU FOR THE BOUNTY ON YOUR HEAD. I THEREFORE SUGGEST THAT YOU
PAY OFF YOUR FINES IN TIME BEFORE REACHING THE CRITICAL LIMIT. AFTER BEING OUT-
LAWED, YOU HAVE TO PAY BACK THE FULL AMOUNT OF FINES TO REGAIN YOUR CIVIL
RIGHTS!
