                   Mall Wars  V2.3  --Terkish Payne [1992]

    The purpose of Mall Wars is to amass Cool Points.  No matter how much
cash you have, how bad a weapon you have, what kind of armor you have, how
many kills you have...  The only thing that counts is Coolness.

    You may purchase various items to help you survive long enough to 
amass cool points.  These basic items are Weapons and Armor.  Although
they are called different things in different stores, they serve the same
basic purposes.

Weapons:

    You may buy Weapons in these stores:

    1: Knives & Sharpies-----Have reciprocal trade agreement
    2: Sports N Stuff-------/

    3: Oriental Holdings-----Have reciprocal trade agreement
    4: Surplus N Stuff------/

Armor:

    You may buy Armor in these stores:

    1: Posier Exchange----Have reciprocal trade agreement
    2: Happy Together----/
 
    3: SK8 Equipment Plus--Have reciprocal trade agreement
    4: Yo Homey Yo--------/

* Reciprocal Trade Agreements mean you can sell items bought at either store
  in either store.

Boots:

   Various footwear is available in Boots B Us.  These are for Cool Value 
only in Version 1 of MallWars.  You lose the Cool Bonus when you sell the
footwear.

Box For Graffiti <VERSION 2.0 and above: Registered>
   
   This is electronic mail (graffiti) to whoever else is playing the game.
You may choose to post anonymously.  This is GREAT for those wonderful 
threats and challenges (and smug messages..haha) to the other mallers.


DocBox(TM):

   DocBox is where you go to heal up, in case you couldn't figure that out.

BunkyAutoBank:

   You can deposit funds here in case you get killed between plays, this will
gain 5% daily interest, if it stays there through the daily maint.  Also, this
feature is only available in Registered Versions Of Mall Wars.

Movement:

   For those of you too dense to figure out the movement from the deluxe 
help screen (Right, Wandering Wolf?) N is for North (UP on the Mall Map)
S is for South (DOWN on the Mall Map) E is for East (LEFT on the Mall Map)
W is for West (RIGHT on the Mall Map)..

There are set encounters which you may be able to avoid or not.  Also, there
is an option for you to <I>nstigate a fight.  The NonPlayer Characters you 
battle in the <I>nstigated fight are tougher than the daily encounters 
placed randomly around the Mall.  Do not attempt to <I>nstigate fights unless
you feel you can handle them.


McDoogie's Food:
   
   McDoogie's Food adds to your HP..  This is for portable healing.  The
more it costs, the more it heals.

You can buy things like shades and accessories to increase your chances of
success when hitting on babes in the mall.  You are trying for phone numbers,
and when you succeed, your Cool Points go up..  When you fail....  BurnOrama!

You can gain Cool Points by dancing or Chillin' It in The What Club, found
somewhere in the Mall.  Your turns go down, but your Cool Points go up!


Note on Big 69 Arcade..  The more the payoff, the harder it is to win, for
those of you that know nothing about gambling.



A Simple Beginning Strategy To Success In The Mall:

           Get A Weapon
           Kick Some Butt
           Get A Better Weapon
           Kick Some More Butt
           Get Some Better Armor
           <et cetera>

The Three Easiest NonPlayer Encounterables Are:

           Rapper, Preppy, and Punker...

Go for the above three first, you might live longer.  :)



            This is Mall Wars.  Seek And Destroy.  And Always:



                           Be Cool..............
