GAME

The Mayor of New York is desperate for help. Warring street 
gangs have turned his city into a no-go area for ordinary 
citizens, young and old alike. Someone is needed to protect 
these citizens from the violence of the gangs, someone who 
has the power to defeat the gangs and make the city safe 
again.

His call is answered by Professor Ian Stein, an eminent 
scientist who has dedicated his life to finding the secret 
of human flight. Yesterday, the professor's young nephew, 
Tom Essex, wandered into the laboratory and drank a complete 
bottle of the latest formula, mistaking it for a bottle of 
lemonade. The effect was instantaneous. Not only could Tom 
fly freely but he also had amazing strength. Now he has 
a mission in life, A super-hero who can clean up the 
city......Superkid.


INSTRUCTIONS

The city is split into 3 areas, each of which has a number 
of citizens to protect. Young girls must be rescued from 
the roofs oftall buildings and senior citizens must be 
escorted safely back to the rest home. To kill the gang 
members you must use your new super-powers to fly into 
them with your fists. Although your new powers give you 
some protection, you can still die if you are shot too 
often. Your strength is shown on the 'Crimewave Overload' 
meter and if you allow this to fall too far you will lose 
one of your lives. 

When the 3 areas of the city have been completed by rescuing 
all the young girls and seeing the senior citizens safely 
back to the rest home, you must enter the areas again but 
this time in twilight. The gangs become even more vicious 
and your super powers will be tested to the full.
