Battune - Crimefighter.

You have just graduated from the Police Academy as a Patrolman, and
assigned to a precinct with many crimes being commited.

Every time you Arrest the criminal for the crime, you will be promoted.

Can you become Commissioner of Police without being killed in the 
line of duty.

All locations will be fixed.

If you start N (new) people may be in different locations, and may
be dressed differently.

Look at people to see how they are dressed.

Talk to people to get a clue as to who committed the crime currently
under investigation.

You must be in the same location as the person you wish to Arrest
for the current crime.

If you Arrest the wrong person, you will be killed in the line of
duty and will lose the game.

All persons are witnesses (obvious aliases).

Different people may commit different crimes.  Will change if you
start New (N).  Will be the same if you Restore (R).

You may print Battune's RAP SHEET as a aide in solving the crimes.

One final suggestion. Save your game before you attempt to Arrest
someone.

If you enjoyed playing this text adventure game, a five (5) dollar
donation to:
             Merle K. Goodman
             2621 Oklahoma Street
             West Melbourne, FL  32904

would be appreciated for me to continue writing new and interesting
adventure games.
 
Do to the complete randomizing of persons, there is no one solution.

To change the game, just start New (N).

I would also appreciate any suggestions or comments to write more
text adventure games for the PC-compatible users.

Have fun in the many worlds of BATTUNE.
