The goal of 'New York' is to escape from a New York ghetto. There will be many
obstacles to overcome and many hardships to endure. After you escape the
dangerous ghetto areas, you must find adequate food and shelter, or you will
soon die from the rough exposure of the city.

The program has the subtitle 'interactive fiction' because you
direct the course of the game.  You determine what will happen. You simply
talk to the computer, telling it what you want to do. Sometimes you will have
to rephrase a particular sentence or use different wording, as the porgram's
vocabulary is much smaller than yours.

For most situations, simply specify a verb and an object.
Examples:
  Get (object)            such as 'Get library book'
  Use (object)            such as 'Use explosives'
  Drop (object)           such as 'Drop rusty key'
  Read (object)           such as 'Read magazine'
  Shoot (person)          such as 'Shoot thief'

The verbs 'Put' and 'Give' require an indirect object.
Format:
  Put (object) in (object)  such as 'Put diamonds in plastic bag'
  Give (object) to (person) such as 'Give rifle to sheriff'

One word commands
  Time          : gives current time
  Inventory     : tells you what you're carrying
  Score         : gives current score
  Wait          : causes time to elapse.
  Save          : Saves your current position to disk
  Restore       : Restores a saved game
  Quit          : Quits the game


To move around,
Type the words 'Walk (direction)'
Four allowable directions: North, South, East, and West


Please note,

All streets, buildings, names, etc. are fictitious.
You may use lowercase or uppercase letters.  The program does not
distinquish between the two.


Unlike other adventure games, where only one solution exists, 'New York' can be
solved many different ways.  You can overcome the obstacles in this game by
using evil tactics, or you can try using less violent mehtods. The choice is
entirely up to you. You will find different obstacles and different endings for
each method you choose.

Good Luck!


A hint book (on disk) is available from the author for $5. All puzzles
and obstacles (and their solutions) are described in detail.  A complete list
of verbs and objects recognized by the program is included, along with all
other pertinent information needed to successfully complete the game.
