MUGSY'S REVENGE – an interactive video comic 
strip!  Everything thrill-seekers could wish for: 
comic animation, stunning graphics and a full
arcade game.

It's 1919 and Mugsy is finally out of the slammer. 
But since he went away, there's been a big change – 
booze has become illegal!!

Mugsy's had plenty of time to consider ways of 
making a lot of money, and what better than to 
supply illicit booze to the thirsty throngs?

Some of Mugsy's faithful cronies have stuck by 
him and together they must re-build their 
shattered empire.

Their ultimate aim is to use booze smuggling to 
finance Mugsy's way back to the top, and there 
promises to be lots of action, danger and strategy 
on the way!

  - The booze must be found and smuggled, 
    bought or manufactured.
  - Money must be allocated for the boys to ensure 
    their operations are safe from rival gangs.
  - The appropriate authorities must be placated.
  - The right decisions need to be taken with 
    regard to expansion.
  - The right hoods must be placed in charge of 
    each project.
  - Finances must always be ready for emergency 
    'contracts' and so on.
    
Plenty of other opportunities will come once the 
money starts rolling – such as setting up 
speakeasies and illegal gambling houses.

Good luck Mugsy – you're gonna need it!

Playing the Game

The main part of the game is presented in the form of a video comic. You will 
find that there is ample time to read the comments made in each 'frame', and if 
you should wish to skip to the next 'frame', simply press any key.

When it is your turn to speak, a flashing asterisk cursor will appear in your 
'talk balloon'. Type in your response and press ENTER. (You can backspace over 
any error by using DELETE - Shift " before pressing ENTER.)

At the end of each year, your Spectrum will display a visual micro-movie of the 
highlight of the year. You can skip this by pressing any key during the music.  
Should you be unfortunate enough to have a contract put out on you, you will be 
placed into an arcade game situation, fighting for your life.

The control keys are:

    LEFT:          I 
    diagonal UP:   Q
    RIGHT:         P	
    diagonal DOWN: Z
