GAME PLAY: What we would like you to do is, Travel the world in 8O days or less. This is not so easy as there are slight risks involved. The risks are not so drastic that you will be killed but could be diverted to far away places. On your travels we would like you to pick up 17 souvenirs (one from each major city) and return back to London. START: We will give you œ1,OOO in sterling (British) and œ2,OOO in Travelers cheques, (œ3,OOO in all). You will start in London England, collect all the souvenirs and return back to London. EXCHANGING CURENCY'S: You may at any Bank or Exchange, swap Travelers cheques for any curency you wish. Although at the end of the game you will exchange all curency's back into sterling (British), you can't exchange back during the game. So be warned not to exchange too many travelers cheques into other curency, but have enough to buy a souvenir and pay bills, also have enough to but a ticket to other destinations. Please see exchange rates during the game. These will not change but will give you a rough idea as to how much you have. There is no charge for exchanging travelers cheques to other curency's. Also be sure to keep enough in sterling. MONEY: Money will be sent to you during the game play either by interest on your account in travelers cheques or œ1OO sent from a good friend, all in local curency (if in France this will be in Francs and so on). You will also receive travelers cheques which can be exchanged to other curency's. You can also gamble your travelers cheques. GAMBLING: You can at any Casino gamble on the wheel of fortune. If you decide to gamble you must spin a 6 or over to win anything under 6 and you will lose. If you win you will be paid 2-1. RISKS: On all journeys you will be told how many risks are involved in that trip. The shorter the trip the less risks involved. You will also be told of how many days you will be traveling, so look out for this. It is sometimes necessary to travel long distances, especially towards the end of the game. The risk depends on your situation. You could be traveling from London to Paris with only 1 risk, and could be diverted to the other side of the world. At the start of the game this could be of use but toward the end, it could be drastic. You will always be told of your wherabouts and if there are any souvenir's at the place you are visiting (all at the top right of the screen). PLACES AND DESTINATIONS: You can't travel to any destination, but only a few from each city. You can look at the map at anytime to see where you are and to see where you can travel next. You may be wise to use the map of the world, to plan a route around all 17 citys. The shortest route is not always the quickest. PAYMENTS: Payments can range from Hotel Bills to Innoculation fees. Always be on the guard against these bills at it will not take long for your local curency to run out. All bills must be paid, and paid in local curency (New York US Dollars and so on). If you have not enough local curency to pay your bill then the authorities will send you to prison. PRISON AND FINES: You may be traveling around the world sightseing and take the local prisons into your sights, you will be told if you are only visiting a prison or not. If you can't pay a bill for instance, you will be sent to prison for anything up to 1O days and will be deported back to London. If you are sent to prison there is also a 5-1 chance that you will be fined. It will tell you if you have been fined or not. The fine will be very stiff as you will lose all your forign curency's except sterling and t/c, so be warned.... SOUVENIR'S: Souvenir's are purchased at any duty free shop along the way. You must collect all 17 and return back to London. There is only one souvenir at each major city shown on the map, and only one can be purchased at the city you are in. You will also be shown if there are any souvenir's at that city, how many souvenir's you have in total, how much they are (local curency) and how many days you have been traveling, at the top right of the screen. Just below this you will see a list of city's, these are the one's left with souvenir's not purchased, so this will give you an idea of where to go next. PICK POCKETS: Everywhere you go in this day and age, you will come across pick pockets, but all are not sucessful at it. If you get your pockets picked, you will always lose half your travelers cheques, a little harsh if you have a substantial amount. But if you have no travelers cheques or very little, you will not suffer to badly. MENU: The game is totaly menu driven, and solidly randomised. The main menu will be found at the botom right, and other smaller menus can be found during the game. 8O DAYS: If you travel around the world in 8O days or less you can re-write the book. But if you dont suceed in 8O days you can continue on your travels and see how long it would take you. I can assure you that it can be done in less than 8O days, but it is not that easy. So with all this information and tips, play the game and be warned that i have not included everything here, there are a few supprises left for you to find out for yourself. Good luck and have fun...... This game is a public domain software program and therfore I can't charge any fees, but as you know programming computers is very time consuming and hard work.
