Well, this game is a strategy/action type of game. You control a team of
4 brainwashed cyborgs. The goal is to allow your syndicate to control the
whole world by doing a mission in each part of it. There are many places
you can go to in this game, but you have to start off in the United Kingdom
which is probably the easiest mission anyway.

F2 - BEGIN MISSION
You will be shown a map of the world divided into many regions. If you
are just starting, you will have to start with the United Kingdom.
The different colours of the different regions represent different
syndicates. It doesn't really matter which syndicate holds which region,
you have to get them all to win. If you click on a region, you will be
given some information about it:
Name: Name of region
Pop: Population of the current region
Tax: Tax of region. If you don't own the region, it is unknown. If you
do own it, you will be able to regulate it. The amount you will be
getting per day is displayed, as well as the percentage. To change
it, click on the arrows.
Own: Displayed only if you don't own the region and is always blank.
Stat: Displayed only if you own the region and shows the people's attitude
towards you, dependant on their taxes.
There are two buttons at the bottom of the map:
Brief (bottom left)-Appears only if you own a region adjacent to the one
you currently selected and allows you to start the
mission in this region.
Menu (bottom right)-Takes you back to the main menu.
F3 - LOAD AND SAVE GAME
Presents you with a list of save games. Click on the spot you wish to
save in or load. If saving, you may enter a description. Click the
SAVE button at the bottom to save in the selected slot. Click the LOAD
button to load the game from the selected slot. Click MENU to go back to
the main menu.
F4 - MULTIPLAYER GAME
You can select from a list of 10 multiplayer levels. I haven't figured out
what this is for, but you don't have to do it to finish the game. Could
it be modem play? Or just training????
F5 - RESTART GAME
Starts the game from the same position as when you first load it up. It
does not erase the save games, but it simply starts a new game.
F6 - QUIT TO DOS
If you don't know what this does, do yourself a big favour and take a
flying leap out the window.
STARTING A MISSION
Simply select the region you wish to conquer on the map, and, if you own a
region right beside the one you selected, the BRIEF button in the bottom
left hand corner will become available. Click on it to go to the region
you selected (at the beginning you must go to the United Kingdom), but
first, some choices:

from the inventory of any cyborg will bring up the same thing
as selecting it from the list of equipment. It will give you
a picture, some information, and a number of buttons will

List of Research Topics - Lists the weapons or mods you can research at
the moment. Sometimes it will simply have a class of
weapon such as "heavy" or "miscellaneous". However, if
during a mission, you pick up a weapon you don't yet
have available, and you leave or finish the mission
with it, you will be able to research that particular
weapon. Click MODS to display mods here. Click EQUIP
to return to equipment/weapon. You can only research
mods of one version higher than you have available (If
you have only eyes V1, you will not be able to research
eyes V3 until you have eyes V2.).
To find out the cost of researching something, or to
research it, click on it from the list. You will be
shown "Max Funding" and "Min Funding". Max Funding is
how much it will cost to research it in one day. Min
Funding is how much it will cost each day to research it
in 10 days. If you still wish to research it, click the
RESEARCH button below this information. If you have
changed your mind, click CANCEL. After clicking
RESEARCH, click the FUNDING + or FUNDING - buttons (See
below.).
FUNDING + - Allows you to increase the funding for a research project.
First, you have to select what you wish to research
(See above.). Click this button to double the funding PER DAY,
and halve the time in which the project will be completed.
The funding is doubled and time halved everytime you click this
button. The maximum funding will have the project done in
one day, while not clicking this button at all after selecting
a project will leave it at 10 days (A long time).
Funding - This displays how much the project will cost PER DAY. It will
always cost the same amount in the end, but you can collect more
taxes before you have to pay the whole sum by leaving it at
more than one day. This amount can be regulated with the
FUNDING + and FUNDING - buttons.
FUNDING - - Allows you to decrease the funding for a research project.
First, you have to select what you wish to research
(See above.). Click this button to halve the funding PER DAY,
and double the time in which the project will be completed.
The funding is halved and time doubled everytime you click this
button.
MODS - Click here to display the mods you can research in the List of
Research Topics area.
EQUIP - Click here to display the equipment/weapons you can research in
the List of Research Topics area.
ACCEPT - Accepts all changes or projects assigned and returns you to the
TEAM SELECTION menu.
Research Topic - Tells you what (if anything) you currently are researching
or will be researching.
% Complete Graph - This graph shows the relationship between the percentage
of the project completed already, and the time in days
it will take to complete. If the project has already
been started, the line will be flashing in the area
which has already been completed. The rest of the
line will remain the same colour. At any stage of the
project, you can increase or decrease the funding to
alter the time and daily cost of the project.
Money - Displays how much money you currently have.
List of Current Weapons - This area displays either the equipment/weapons
you currently have available, or the mods you
currently have available, depending on which of
the two buttons you clicked (MODS or EQUIP).
If you click on any mod or weapon from this list,
the standard info will appear-range, ammo, etc.
for weapons and a short description for mods.
Click CANCEL to get the list again, if you are
currently getting info on something.

Cyborg #1-4 - This shows a little picture of the appropriate cyborg. It
also displays what the cyborg is holding (which weapon) and
it shows him walking if he is walking at the moment, and
standing if he is standing at the moment. Below each
cyborg's picture are 3 white lines. These bars control
the "hormones" of the cyborg. If you click to the right of
the white line, a bar will move up to the point where you
clicked the mouse. The "hormones" go as follows:
First bar- ADRENALIN
Greatly increases the speed of the current cyborg
while walking. Useful for long walking trips.
Second bar- PERCEPTION
Increases the current cyborg's precision and aim.
Important for "can't miss" situations, and useful
to have all the time (saves ammo)
Third bar- INTELLIGENCE
Allows the current cyborg to shoot at hostile
targets on his/her own. If you put it up all the
way, you can practically walk and the cyborgs will
automatically kill any hostile targets they can
hit.
I don't see a point to decreasing the "hormones" by clicking
to the left of the line. It seems to have no point
whatsoever.
Each of these hormones is helped by certain mods.
Adrenaline - Artificial Heart
Perception - Artificial Eyes
Intelligence - Artificial Brain
These mods mostly regulate how long the cyborg can sustain
the particular "hormone", but to some degree also regulate
how effective they are (i.e. eyes V3 increase aim more than
eyes V2.).
Once the "hormone" has been activated, you can switch it off
by clicking on the white line. However, it will decrease on
its own. Once it is all used up, the cyborg will
be back to normal. The white line may move a bit to the
right, therefore decreasing the maximum amount of the
hormone, but after a time without the hormone, it will
return to its original position, and the amount of the
hormone will be restored as well.
GROUP - This allows you to use the whole group instead of each individual
cyborg. Increasing hormones while in a group increases them for
all cyborgs. Moving somewhere will move all cyborgs, and if you
shoot at someone, the whole group will shoot (increased firepower).
If you select a weapon or piece of equipment from the inventory
while in group mode, the cyborg you have selected (you still have
one selected) will draw the weapon you selected, but the rest will
equip the best weapon they have.
Inventory - This shows the 8 items your cyborg is carrying. They are not
always carrying 8. You can arm a weapon by clicking on it with
the left mouse button. The red bar underneath most weapons
indicates the amount of ammo left in the weapon. You can
drop an item by selecting it with the left mouse button, then
clicking it with the right mouse button while it is selected.
You cannot transfer items. You must drop them and pick them
up with the cyborg you want.
Mission Window - This shows the mission objective in Yellow letters. It
consists of the mission type (i.e. pick up weapon,
assassinate, etc.). It also shows what the current
cyborg or group (if selected) is doing at the moment
(i.e. going, using weapon, getting hit by bullet). This
is shown in red letters.
Radar - This is the overhead map of the surrounding area. Depending on
whether or not you have a scanner, or have paid to enhance the
range of the radar, the radar may show only the close-by things
or may show a big area.
On the radar, humans (cops, civilians, etc.) show up as white dots.
Enemy syndicate agents show up as either red dots or flashing
yellow squares. You are big white squares. The mission target
will usually emanate waves which will show you on the radar which
direction the target is. The target usually also shows up as
a big white square. If there are no target waves, it usually
means you have to assassinate all the enemy syndicate agents.
THE ACTION WINDOW
You can interact with the action window in a number of ways:
Clicking on a spot on the window, with the left mouse button, will move
your cyborg or group to that place.
To scroll the action window, move the cursor to the edge of the screen on
the side you wish the window to scroll (i.e. if you wish to see what's to
the left of your cyborgs, move the cursor to the left edge of the screen.).
If you wish to follow someone, put the cursor over the person you wish to
follow. It should look like a red or white crosshair. Click the left
mouse button. The cyborg of group will attempt to follow the target.
To fire you weapon(s), put the cursor on the area or person you wish to
fire at. If it is a person, you will usually be able to hit them only
if the cursor is a white crosshair when you put it over them. This means
that they are in range of the weapon(s) you are currently holding.
You may be able to hit them with a white crosshair, as some weapons
have a large scattering range.
Destroying cars takes a long time, so be patient. The cursor will not
turn to a crosshair over a car or anything other than a person, therefore
you will have to just shoot at the area, which is accomplished just by
clicking the right mouse button on the spot you wish to destroy.
To use a car or train, get into a group and click the left mouse button on
the car or train. Once all your cyborgs are inside, click on the road
where you wish to go. There are no collisions, and you cannot be shot
while in a car, though your car MAY be destroyed. You can usually fire
from your car on enemies. However, you may accidently blow up your car.
You can only make U-turns at intersections. You can run down enemies who
are standing on the road by simply running your car over them. This,
however, rarely happens since the enemies usually stay off the roads.
If you have killed an enemy, he will usually leave his weapon(s) behind.
Put the cursor over his dead body. The cursor will turn into a sort of
magnet if there is a weapon there. You MUST have an empty inventory space
in order for the cursor to turn into a magnet. If there is a weapon there,
it will be displayed in your empty inventory space. It will be flashing,
meaning that you don't have it yet. If you want it, click the left mouse
button over it, and you cyborg will walk over to it and pick it up. Avoid
picking weapons up with a group since I had a number of them get lost when
I tried to do that.
