BLADE RUNNER
============

The 21 st Century.

Robot design had evolved to the Replidroid Stage - a living android virtually identical 
to a human droid.

REPLIDROIDS were used off-world as slave labour, in the dangerous exploration and 
colonisation of other planets.

The STAGE 6 REPLIDROIDS were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in 
intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.

After a bloody mutiny by a STAGE 6 combat team in an off-world colony. REPLIDROIDS were 
declared illegal on earth under penalty of death Police approved special bounty hunter 
squads - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection any trespassing REPLIDROID.

This was not execution.

It was called retirement.


A combat team of 24 renegade REPLIDROIDS has arrived on earth.

Their mission — to destroy their creators and so end the slavery imposed upon the 
REPLIDROID race.

You are a bounty hunter employed by the police for the sole purpose of retiring 
REPLIDROIDS. You start the game in police H.Q. in the centre of the city. In front of 
you is the control panel for your skimmer — flying car. The left side of the control 
panel shows a detailed map of one sector of the city. On the right a complete map 
showing the positions of the REPLIDROIDS and the hiding places of their four creators. 
Below is an information screen which is continuously receiving updates from police HQ. 
On the bottom left is a bonus indicator, showing how much bounty you have received in 
your quest for REPLIDROIDS. Next to this is a sector indicator.

You must take off from police H.Q. and fly around the city searching out REPLIDROIDS. 
When you fly over the top of a REPLIDROID the information screen will tell you which 
REPLIDROID group it belongs to — STAGE 6 being the fastest and the most deadly.

When you have decided which REPLIDROID to pursue, hover over it and then land.

The screen display will now change to a city street. Your skimmer will land on the left 
of the screen and you must jump out, chase after the REPLIDROID and retired as quickly 
as possible.

To aid you hunt you carry a portable scanner. This aids you in your pursuit. It enables 
you to see oncoming vehicles and any REPLIDROIDS within an area of three screens.

This mission is a big break for a bounty hunter like you.

You could make enough money to retire.

But can you survive to enjoy it?
