FUTURE Bike SIMULATOR In 1995 extreme legislation by world governments banned the motorcycle as we know it today. Finnius M Houlder, multi-billionaire extraordinaire 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 laws. In 1999, the result - FUTURE BIKE. Capable of speeds in excess of 300 mph in fully faired form this anti-grav wheel-less wonder took the world by storm. Finnius Houlder bought up large chunks of land (privatised motorways) in virtually every industrialised 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 FUTURE BIKE SIMULATOR - THE GAME Essential Info: 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 disintegrates. ENEMIES All enemies, when shot, will drop money. The amount of money dropped depends 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. AI bombs, like mines, appear in front of you. Contact with one of these will cause you to lose some of your money. WEAPONS 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. NOTE: Sidearms are sold singly - one left, one right. SHOP At various points in the game, you will enter the shop. It is here that you may buy the additional extra weapons. PLEASE NOTE: CREDIT CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. When you enter the shop, you will see a number of icons denoting the items you may buy. Moving left and right will highlight the different items for sale and pressing Fire will select it. Should you buy too many of certain items you will be given a 'Ship Overload' warning. This will be shown, for example, if you try to buy three sidearms. Pressing E will exit the shop and return you to the Strip.
