MOUNTIE MICK'S DEATH RIDE
=========================

BY RICHMOND GRAVEL AND TIMEDATA

The raid is on! The McClusky gang are robbing the Trans-Canadian Express of a large 
shipment of gold. Mick, the intrepid Mountie, disturbs them and they hightail it down 
the train. Mick must run after them avoiding leaking tankers, difficult loads, grenades, 
the darkness of tunnels, loose mooses and the gang's hail of bullets. Can he do it in 
time or will he have to resort to using the secret lightweight body armour?


O.K. Mick (that's you!) it's time to try your luck on the Iron Horse, no soft saddles on 
this one though so button up your jacket and prepare for the train ride of the century!

Assuming you've read the back cover you should already be lining up the McCluskey boys in 
your Smith and Wesson so it's time to load the game. (The instructions are on the label).

Right, so here you are on the roof of a thundering great train with hosts of baddies 
shooting at you. Sounds difficult? It gets worse! Some of the baddies have found grenades, 
but never fear, there are some lying around for you as well. Now Mick is a plump fellow 
(too much good ol' Canadian cooking!) and if he goes and jumps on anyone they end up 
flatter than a pancake.

There are two more problems as well, the first is leaking gas tanks, one whiff and you're 
a gonner. Don't panic there are gas masks around, don't forget to put them on when you see 
danger. Secondly there are tunnels and again help is at hand in the form of a torch, but 
conserve your batteries as they don't last for ever.

Just to add to the fun there are nine trains travelling on this route and the only way to 
catch up with the next one is on a hand cart. This just so happens to be being pushed 
along in front of the train. Jump on and start pumping, don't thrash it, you should build 
up speed slowly.
