TRAVEL WITH TRASHMAN
DESCRIPTION
An extension of the original 'Trashman' in locations all around
the world with a gallery of 'amusing' stereotypes.
CONTROLS
Redefinable - just the four directions and fire.
INSTRUCTIONS
Walk into pieces of litter to pick them up; repeat until you
clear the screen. Avoid people - some follow you around -
because you lose cash each time you bump into someone.
INLAY CARD TEXT
Playing Instructions:
Play is available for either 1 or 2 players. You can define your
own keys, by following screen instructions for the movement of
Trashman.
Name:
To enter your name, press up or down key until required letter
is reached, and then the Fire Button. Up to eight letters may be
entered. Move to end to bracket and press fire button for next
screen. If more than one player, enter YES by using up or down
key and fire button and then proceed as above.
Object:
Having completed the original 'Trashman' you are awarded a
Diploma of Trashmanship, which entitles you to go forth and rid
the world of trash. This is your mission.
At the start of the game you are given an amount of cash to
enable you to travel to a choice of countries. The screen shows
a map of the world with all the possible destinations
highlighted. When you select the country you wish to visit the
fare will be deducted from the cash available.
When you arrive at that destination, you will have the option of
either taking the job offered or to travel on to other countries.
You will of course have to have the money to travel, or you will
have no choice but to accept the job.
Spain:
Trashman finds himself in a Bullring which he has to keep tidy.
The crowd however will insist on throwing roses into the ring,
which have to be cleared away. Unfortunately, in the ring with
Trashman is a ferocious black bull, which continually chases him,
whilst he is trying to clean up the ring. The cheering crowds
can be a distraction, and a tossing from that bull could be
fatal.
U.S.A.:
As an employee of the local jazz band you are employed to pick
up the money being thrown by the crowd as the band plays through
the streets of New Orleans. Look out for those mean musicians
though.
Hong Kong
Featuring a carnival and all the razamataz, dragons and coolies.
France:
At the busy pavement cafe in the Champs Elysee, the disenchanted
chef has set his stock of frogs loose, and Trashman has to catch
them all whilst avoiding those lovely waitresses.
Germany:
At the German Festival Trashman takes the job of clearing away
the empties. He still likes his tipple though and finds it
almost irresistible to pick up a full glass.
Israel
At the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem the worshippers have the untidy
habit of wiping away their tears, and dropping the tissues all
over the place. Guess who takes on their job of clearing up the
mess?
With many other countries to visit, Trashman takes his holiday
and visits:
Samoa:
What a life! Lounging on the beach under the palm trees. But
those coconuts keep falling and Trashman can't have an untidy
beach. Watch out for those coconuts though - they can leave you
very dizzy.
Your task will be to completely clear each screen. Don't forget
that on some screens the litter may be hidden between another
object.
Scoring:
The figure at the right hand of the screen represents the cash
you have available. This figure is increased each time you earn
wages by picking up various items of litter or objects in each
country. It will also be affected by the degree of efficiency
shown when you tackle your job. For example, if you were to leave
lots of litter lying around, and annoy other people by
continually bumping into them, the figure will decrease more
rapidly. Your fare to each counrty will be deducted from this
figure. The score on the left hand side of the screen represents
the cumulative figure of wages earned in all the countries
visited.

Remember that you can walk behind pillars, trees and so on - the
last piece of litter will often end up where you can't see it.
In Madrid (the bullring), try always to walk behind the bull so
that it cannot turn towards you quickly enough to run at you.
