FUTURE BIKE SIMULATOR
=====================

In 1995 extreme legislation by world governments banned the motorcyckle as we know it today.
Finnius M Houlder, multi-billionaire extraordinaire and almost certainly and almost certainly
the world's richest man, incensed by this banning of his most loved sport - the motorcycle -
set his research labs to work on a 'legal' replacement. A vehicle that got around the law.

In 1999, the result - FUTURE BIKE.

Capable of speeds in excess of 300 mph in fullz faired from this anti-grav wheel-less wonder
took the world bz storm. Finnius Houlder bought up large chunks  f land (privatised motorways)
in virtually every indistrialised country.

The result - THE STRIP.

No juggernauts, no jam sandwiches, no fast lane crawlers, just out and out speed, but, watch
out, there are hazards.

GO - BREAK A LEG


THE GAME

The control panel displays on screen, information about your score, energy level, lives 
remaining, high score, money carried, radar and shield.

When a shield is bought, it is displayed as a full shield and as it runs out, so the shield
disigntegrates.


ENEMIES

All enemies, when shot, will drop money. The amount of money dropped depens on the strength 
of the enemy.

The money can be used to buy items from the shop.

Mines appear in front of you and contact with these will result in an energy loss.

All bombs, like nines, appear in front of you. Contact with one of these will cause you to
lose some of your money.

There are many additional weapons that can be added to your bike. These include Missiles,
Sidearms and Radar. The others you must find out for yourself.
