Main Menu

When you start the game then you see the main menu. You have the following options:

New Game

Continue

Credits

Tutorial

Settings

Exit

Obviously choosing the New Game option takes you to a new game. Similarly if you have started a game then Continue will take you to that game. The Credits option shows you all the people responsible for bringing this game into being. The tutorial gives you a brief and not very helpful description of how to play the game. It is as follows:

Thanks for that.

The Settings option gives you control over your settings. These are:

The Exit option takes you out of the game.

Walkthrough

So you start the game and a message pops up on the screen. It says:

Also you’ll see on the screen in the top right you have 5,000 Euros and in the top left corner you’ll see an inset map with the time and the time you have left to finish the job (if you have a job).

So now either press the escape key or go to the office which is right in front of you where the massive green arrow is pointing.

If you go to the office you get another message just outside:

Ok, in we go.

Here you can see the following options:

Main Menu

Also at the bottom is a job that you can accept by clicking on ‘‘Accept’‘.

The Map shows the map. You can move around the map by pressing and holding down one of the mouse buttons to move the map. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out. You will find all relevant information on the map such as petrol stations, shop, company premises and mission objectives.

The Invoice will show invoices once you complete jobs and are covered below by mission.

The Statistics show the following at this stage and will change as you go through the game:

The other options are the same ones you saw in the [[main menu]].

So you’ve got your first mission (small courier job). As you go through the game you’ll get a few more (15 in total). Some of them require you to buy items in the [[shop]]. These are:

• Mission 3 requires you to have bought the cones.
• Mission 6 requires you to have bought the work platform.
• Mission 8 requires you to have bought the trimmers.

But first during the game you’ll need to put petrol into your vehicles. So how do you do this?

Refuelling

You may need fuel. This is the case if your petrol gauge is red and the number below is approaching 0 (when the petrol tank is full this will be 60). If so fill the vehicle up at a petrol station. Do this by locating one on the map, driving there and parking into one of the yellow-outlined slots next to a pump. Get out and you get this message pop up:

The fuel pump will show you how much petrol you are buying.

Price/Litre	1.52 Euro
~COUNT	0.00 Litre
Amount:	0.00 Euro

Mission 1: Small Courier Job

Go to where the vehicles are stored (represented by a car on the inset map) and go to the button by the gate of the sole vehicle you have at this stage (a standard MPV – multi-purpose vehicle, i.e. a van or as the controls describe it – a vehicle, general) and look down at it until it says ‘‘Use gate’‘. Click the left mouse button to use the gate and enter.

As you approach the van for the first time another message will appear:

When the Get in instruction appears click the left mouse button to enter the MPV.

You’ll notice that a speedometer appears now in the bottom right (and some instructions in bottom left if you press F1 which is useful). The speedometer shows your speed in KM/H. You also see your indicators, your light icon, your door icon – whether your van doors are open or not, your handbrake icon and your petrol gauge. The icons will be red when you have your doors open say, or you need some petrol. Otherwise they’ll be clear. There is also your gear in a little circle, however you don’t need to worry about gears as the vehicles shift gears automatically.

Now drive the vehicle to the red arrow nearby and stop it. Apply the handbrake and get out. Go to the back of the vehicle and open the doors when prompted (or use the side door of the van). Now walk to the two boxes and when prompted take them and put them into the van. To take them click the left mouse button and keep it depressed until you want to drop it. When they are both in close the door/s and get into the van again.

Now head to the blue flag on your little map (preferably without crashing the van into anything because that’ll lose you Euros – the faster the more Euros you lose).

As you approach the blue flag you’ll see a blue arrow on the screen. Stop near there, get out, open the van and put the boxes where the blue arrow is. If you can’t reach the box you may need to jump (press down the scroll button on the mouse) inside the van to get it.

A message should pop up:

Get in your van again and head to the next red flag on your map. Be careful of travelling the wrong way down one-way streets though as the flag is situated in the middle of a one-way area. These are the thin roads. So travel down the main roads and enter the one-way system from the top where the road-sign indicates it is you can enter (i.e. a blue rectangular sign with a white border and a white arrow pointing forwards).

Once there get out, open your van door/s again, pick up the two boxes, put them in the van, close the door/s and get going again, this time to the blue flag on the map. Park up and take your two boxes out and deposit them where the blue arrow is pointing. Then you’ll get another message pop up:

Now head back to your office to raise the invoice.

Once up look at the defective lamp until you get the Repair command. Then click and hold the action key to repair. Mission is complete. Now you need to return the cradle to its original position before you can drive the vehicle.
