                                   THE STORY
The streets of our fair city are no longer safe. The year is 1991, drug crazed
gunmen, muggers and junkies prowl the streets in a city whare it's not even
safe for the Dealers, Pushers and Hookers to make a dishonest living.
You work these streets as one of New Yorks finest. In the past six months you
have seen the situation degenerate, almost all your fellow cops are on the
Mafias payroll, your family and partner have all been wiped out by hired
hit-men drafted in from Chicago by the infamous Mr. Big.
You know that you cannot rest until you have wiped the streets clean of the
organised crime syndicate that controls the city.
But in Psycho City even the trash cans can prove deadly, some contain harmless
stolen goods, some are empty, but some are used by armed hit-men just waiting
to jump out and kill you. However, all the cans are booby trapped and will
explode if they hit something.

                                    THE GAME
You have three main objectives. Firstly, shoot anything that moves, unless it
looks like you, these are extra men. You must also collect bags of money and
stolen goods, these should be dropped into the bank vault to claim a reward
(the bank vault is situated on your start screen). Your main objective is to
find Mr. Bigs hideout and blow him away.

                                    CONTROLS
SPECTRUM: On loading, keys D,X,Z and CAPS will cause your character to move in
the four directions, A is set up as FIRE. Q, W and E cause your character to
pick up an object, and keys R, T, and Y select a held object for use.
Alternatively use a joystick or redefinable keys. 'P' will pause the action,
'H' will quit and 'ENTER' will restart the game. Fire will only work if a
suitable object (i.e. gun or jetpack) has been picked up and selected.
AMSTRAD: On loading the game will default to joystick control. Keys 1, 2 and 3
will cause your character to pick up an object and keys 4, 5 and 6 will select
their respective object for use. Fire will only work if a suitable object (i.e.
a gun or jetpack) has been picked up and selected. DEL will abort the game.
Alternatively you may redefine the keyboard controls.

                                     HINTS
You'll find a handy rocket launcher in a trash can by the Bank. Some parts of
the city can only be reached by walking across the rooftops. Safe doors and
jail cells need keys to open them (some of your men have been locked up).
